  Issue 9 - Jodie Jones VN Holden Calais

  The dictionary defines Playboy as ‘a man who is devoted to the pursuit of pleasurable activities’. While Jodie Jones is not a man, she has definitely built a car which is an absolute pleasure to drive, and also gets plenty of attention. You could almost say that this VN Calais is a bit of a Playboy Bunny, worthy of being one of the Heff’s playmates. Jodie’s old ride was written off over the 2006 Christmas period, when someone crashed into her on the M1. After a bit of a search for another car Jodie stumbled upon a tidy VN Calais. “It was nothing special at the time, just another standard V6 Calais”, recalls Jodie.

  Issue 5 - Kent Mckenzie's 1968 GTS Monaro

  Kent McKenzie dreamt of having a HK Monaro since he was a young fella. He found this car back in 2003 but it was severely modified. He paid $4000 for the car back then and has spent the years since getting it back to an original look. The car had to have extensive body work to get it back to original specs. This was a job for Kent’s good mate Rob Smith. It took Rob and Kent three years to get the body work done and once it was all finished, they coated it in copious amounts of the classic Sting Red. All the original GTS stripes, badges and jewellery and chrome work were placed back on the car to give it the proper GTS look. It looks absolutely awesome in that colour and has no trouble attracting all the right kinds of attention.

  Issue 1 - Ron Grabbe's 1964 Buick

  Buicks are an acquired taste. Its horses for courses, whatever floats your boat, or flicks your switch. Like some prefer to drive rice over muscle and vise versa. But there’s no denying that this tubbed Buick Special is a real switch-flicker for not just the cars owner, but those who love the stance and style of something undoubtedly tough and American.

  Issue 4 - Cruise for flood appeal at Harry's Diner

  Watching the flooding through Toowoomba and surrounding areas, on Television, You Tube etc, seeing the damage and hearing of the lives lost my thoughts were “What can we do for these people?” On the Thursday of that tragic week I thought maybe an old skool cruise fundraiser could help these people. I sent a message to my mate Andy to get his opinion on the idea and ask if he would get involved with me. Andy didn’t hesitate for a second, agreeing it was a good idea.     Things started simply with us posting the ‘event’ on Facebook, nothing major just announcing a bit of a get together at Harry’s Diner in Brisbane which used to be the number one spot to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night. We thought maybe a few cars would come out and we could have a good night and raise some much needed money for these people. Response was positive from the start. Saturday arrived with a few things left to organize but we hoped everything would fall into place as the day unfolded. The owner of Harry's Diner, Mr James MacVitie had put on extra staff and stocked up for the night unsure of what to expect having only owned the business for a couple of years and not having seen the crowds the diner used to have in its glory days. He was as freaked out as us. All set up by 4.30pm it was like the calm before the storm, as we sat back for a minute to take a rest. By 5pm the first of the many cars that were to follow started to turn up. The number of cars just kept growing with some coming from Toowoomba and others as far south as Coffs Harbour. With the car park at Harry's Diner full and three nearby carparks filled to capacity there was an estimated 600 plus cars by 6.30pm. The smell of race fuel in the air was beautiful. Cars never seen before or not seen for a number of years were parked everywhere. Harry's Diner had customers five deep at their counter all night. The generosity of people digging deep and donating money and everyone’s behaviour was nothing short of amazing. It’s tragic that local News Crews and Media couldn’t find the time to show first hand that people in the Modified Car Scene are not all ‘Bad Apples’ as it appears they want the public to believe.
