I’m a huge car magazine reader. I’ve been buying car magazines since the late 80′s. I used to read them to death. The older issues I have are dog-eared and falling apart. I used to be able to tell you what issue a certain car was featured and even quote the copy.

However, as I got older the amount I read dropped. I figured this can be attributed to having less time to sit and read. Now I just skim. Another reason however, is that to me the quality of writing is dropping. From spelling and grammar mistakes, to incorrect information. Makes one feel ripped off for having dropped up to $10 for a mag. It usually just annoys me, but an article in the latest issue of Fast Fours really got to me.

The article was on the latest Datsun/Nissan Nationals held in Queensland. The photos were great however the copy and captions were so wrong. Let me show you:

Here’s a collection of links to photos from the recently held Datsun Driving Canby Fun 2009. Being in Australia I couldn’t attend. This time…

I’ll update this post when I find more links.

Some of you may have heard of the Sileighty.

The Sileighty (also written as Sil80) originated through early street racers in Japan who owned Nissan 180SXs with damaged front ends. Because the Silvia’s front panels and lights were lighter and cheaper than the 180SX replacement parts, many drifters used these parts instead.

But that’s a bit too common. How about a 610-SX?

What do you reckon?
