Have you seen the latest episode (CLICK HERE)? There's a brand new car and it's the biggest project the MCM lads have taken on in the show's history... but did you know this particular model was famous for a feature forced on Subaru?  While their 90s-on models are rightfully legends in their own rights, with World Rally Championship pedigree, turbo power, all-wheel-drive grip and more, one of the most iconic Japanese cars of the '70s and '80s is the Subaru Brumby (or BRAT in the USA). BRAT stands for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter, while Brumby referred to a native Australian horse renowned for...

  Have you watched the Budget 4WD Off-Road Adventure (CLICK HERE) yet? If not you're missing out on nearly 40-minutes of awesome dirt-chuckin' action in Marty's bargain Mitsubishi Delica off-road van. While we love cheap Japanese 4x4s some of us prefer our dirt-going rides to have a bit more handling and braking, and a lot more choo-choo so, in the interests of balance, here is an off-road Mitsubishi you may not know about: the RVR Hyper Sports Gear R!

It's no secret MCM froths anyone going out and having a crack, be it with a project car or any other pursuit. This is why MCM has jumped behind Brandyn Gaskill, a 17-year-old going to represent Australia at the CrossFit Games in the USA. It may seem like an odd partnership given Marty and MOOG's shared love of tofu kebabs and yak milk smoothies, but the dedication and tenacity required of Brandyn is much the same as what anyone tackling a project car needs. A big side bonus is the positive mental health benefits to exercise and training, which we can all benefit...

For every kind of car enthusiast out there, it seems there used to be a magazine to suit them. But not any more. We've gone from having countless titles on the shelves to, for some car scenes, no print representation at all: so what happened?  Ultimately, society changed from when magazines first kicked off. Today, modified car magazines aren't dead, but they need to change to stay relevant.  Magazines about modified cars go all the way back 75 years to 1948. This was when Robert E Petersen founded Hot Rod Magazine, which still publishes monthly magazines today. Roadkill's David Freiburger...
