Default Its back!

After 3 years of absence, the club magazine is back! Still named Maximum Torque, Lukey and I have revived the mag and have been working on this for the past few weeks. It will be avalible in HTML and PDF format. This issue both will be avalible straight away but the next issue will be delivered by email and then the PDFfile will be avalible afterwards. This is to encourage people to keep their details up to date.
So keep your eyes peeled, it wil be avalible later tonight.

Thanks

Woohoo!

What a great surprise

I recall a thread a while ago (a year ago?) regarding MT, which I posted in, but nothing came of it. This is great news. Perhaps someone could dig up the links to the past issues so that the new members can see how the club has evolved since then?

I remember the excitement from Quikcorty's EA running a 14.78 ;) Big news back then...

Awesome. Great news. Can't wait. I know my car won't be worthy of it (maybe the photoshopped versions would be), but it will be good to read about other member's e-series.

OK guys, Karl promised it tonight so put me in a mad rush to get this all done :P. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the revival of Maximum Torque and we hope we have many more issues to come. It will be emailed out soon, but for now an online version is now available, but Firefox users beware, it may appear a little chopped up (this will be fixed up in future issues.) Enjoy guys
