Well, it's not such a bad situation to be in.. all these cool machines, and not knowing which one to get on to next.
Is there such a thing as too many projects when they are as cool as these?

Well, everyone else is talking about Christmas already, so ho ho ho. To celebrate the end of a great year in style, we're offering a copy of each magazine, a David Perry Hot Rod Pinups DVD, and a set of Stickers all for the bumper price of $50 plus shipping. Limited stocks so offer finishes on 17th December, or when the stuff runs out.. whichever comes first.
Every now and again, you come across something that makes you go damn, that's a great idea. Sondre Kvipt's Kustomrama website is one such experience.
Based in Oslo, Norway, Sondre's concept started as a small underground magazine, much like Fuel. Except, I was following the Kustomrama mag long before Fuel Magazine was conceptualised. You could say that it was one of the sparks that lit the Fuel fire in the first place.
Sondre's mag is still going, but now he has expanded on to the web and he's set up a site that is a deep wealth of information for anyone interested in hot rods and custom cars.
The coolest part is that he has set it up as a Wikipedia, so once you get in there, you can easily get lost in the multi levels of information on offer.
My advice would be to bookmark the site, and check it out when you get a chance. That combined with signing up to his regular informative newsletter and you'll be up to date with all you need to know from the mainstream to the somewhat quirky!
I hope that the wiki continues to expand, and becomes somewhere we can all dip in to when we need to find those facts and photos that we've been looking for.
Great work.

It really does only seem like a few weeks ago that issue 02 was announced and we were gearing up for the show scene to get it out there. It was actually 10 weeks ago, and what with the Christmas holidays looming, that means a new file has to go off to print to ensure delivery of the next mag in the new year.
Well, print deadline is this weekend, and 03 is coming along nicely. I wish I could say that it's just around the corner and you can pick one up in a couple of weeks, but alas not. So hang in there, get all excited about Christmas, eat lots, party hard... and when you surface in 2010, it'll be ready for you to pick up.
We've got the usual great photo coverage from Australian hot rod and kustom car shows. Combine this with a hard as nails Gasser, a splash of cool 2 wheeled eye candy, seductive pin up photography, and some of the finest art work from across the globe, and you've got another 134 pages of ad-free hot rod culture.
The order books will open just as soon as the proof arrives back from the printers, so sign up to the newsletter below, and you'll be right up to date.
