Street Machine Australia - May 2018

TROLL PATROL

I DON’T often comment on stuff like this but your

article Negative Gearing (Blowin’ Gaskets, SM,

Mar ’18) was really well written and is such a valid

point. I belong to some Facebook groups; some

of them are closed groups, and some of them

very non-PC groups. A common theme is they

are ‘self-policed’ – make a negative comment

and you’re gone. I’d like to see that on pages

like Street Machine’s. I know it could be difficult

to administer but you are a market leader. Use

your status with 400,000 followers to make a

statement against trolling, or whatever it’s called.

VL QUARTERLY

LONG-TIME reader, first-time caller. Great mag,

but needs more VLs. Two questions I need help

with, please. Firstly, do you have a dedicated

mag for VLs? What’s it called? And do you

have any back issues? Secondly, I have an idea

for a VL build but would like someone to draw

it to see what it would like. Could you put me

in contact with someone who could do this,

maybe someone who drew for your Expression

Session? Prepared to pay them so any help

would be appreciated.

HIYA Glen, sorry to say we don’t have a magazine

that’s all about VLs but we are working on a

brand-new awesome dedicated Commodore

mag. Look for the launch of that later in the

year. There are plenty of talented artists out

there that could help with your drawing. Maybe

try youngster Aidan Donald: facebook.com/

READERS’ CHOICE

INSTEAD of building a project car and then giving

it away, why don’t you let us choose one? Over

a few issues we could choose the car, engine

type (big-block/small-block, naturally aspirated/

boosted), driveline, colour, wheels, etc. You could

offer a few choices each issue and put it to a

vote. I reckon you’d get a good idea of what we

readers like, too!

DRIFT AWAY

I HAVE to agree with previous writers who have

complained about the number of drift and drag

racing articles in what used to be an excellent

mag. It seems that the people at Street Machine

mag have lost their way and found that drifting is

all that is out there now. I started buying the mag

after a huge hiatus of many years because for a

long time you were lost in Commondoors, but

now it’s drifting with the occasional drag racing.

If I want to see drag I’ll go to Mardi Gras. Come

on, guys, get back to the title of the magazine – it’s

Street Machine, not drift machine.
