Issue 5 - Queensland Street Car Cruise for Flood Appeal raises 30000 dollars
When it comes to weather forecasting, the old slogan ‘Queensland: beautiful one day, perfect the next’ is for the most part accurate. Our mates at the Department of Tourism stopped at day two for a good reason, because Mother Nature does seek balance from all those sunny days, by sometimes giving us months worth of rainfall in just one day. This summer, however, we have seen flooding worse than most of us can remember, with devastating results across a vast area of the State. Damage bills are huge; people are without homes, clothes and food. Such people count themselves as fortunate if they still have their family, because sadly many lives were lost to the flood waters. Nothing brings Queenslanders’ together more than helping each other out when disaster strikes, and it’s evident all around the State as volunteers came from everywhere to lend a hand - everyone doing what they could. At Queensland Street Car magazine, we were delighted to be involved in the ‘Rev it up, Ipswich’ cruise, raising money for the flood victims of Ipswich. No stranger to cruising for charity, Marten Triemstra got the ball rolling by getting in touch with us, and together we organized the cruise commencing at a meeting point just off the M1 at Yatala. There was only a short lead up to the event, as Marten favored raising money as quickly as possible for the people in need, but even with this short lead time, our forum and Facebook page was registering plenty of interest, and the turnout on the day was absolutely fantastic. A swag of people rocked up in a huge variety of cars, lining the streets of the industrial area. Plenty of magazines were sold on the day, with the proceeds donated to the charity, with many folks emptying their pockets on arrival showing what a great bunch of people our readers are. Queensland Raceway donated the use of their track for the day, while Gup and his staff put their experience to good use, and handled processing of cars and people at the track. Everyone was keen to get out on track and begin marshaling straight away for the first cruise session of the day. There was plenty of heads up battles down the straights throughout the morning, with a charity auction held during the break, with donated items being snapped up, raising even more cash for the people of Ipswich. Cruising continued in the heat of the afternoon, with an epic battle on track, with several Euro Super-cars hitting it out. Seeing two Lamborghini’s heads up, or two Ferrari’s for that matter is truly amazing. A great day was had by all, with money raised in the order of $30,000. It was a resounding success and our thanks go to all who attended and donated on the day. Not bad for a bunch of ‘hoons’.

Issue 10 - Ashley Miners Silver WRX STI
Ashley Miners is no stranger to owning sweet looking performance cars. He’s taken home a fair few pieces of tinware from Autosalon events around the country with cars that looked the goods but couldn’t put down the power figures when it came to crunch time. His first attempt at a show car was the ever popular Hyundai Excel. I know what you’re thinking but Excel’s make a great first car and when given the right treatment they can look bloody awesome. This car was good enough to win some trophies and get some magazine coverage as was his second car, a GTIR Nissan Pulsar. He bought the Nissan so he could have a car with show and go and it did real well on the show side of things but was still let down by its lack of power. It was sold to fund his first WRX. His 01 model had a fresh respray and plenty of bolt-ons so it kept Ashley happy for a year or so until the speed bug bit again, which brings us to this 03 STi WRX.
