 Drift Battle Magazine

Hey guys!
have you guys seen this in the newsagency? Not sure if theres been a post on this mag yet, but i was killing sometime and walked into the news agency - then i saw Drift battle issue 2 for $7!
I was like .. hey thats decently priced, so I picked it up .. (eventually got served) and flicked through the mag. It's not too bad .. interesting reading about touge and looking at the pics.
It's got some decent drift pics in them .. but i noted how many 86 blooper pics they printed in it. (Do'h!)
Anyways what do you guys think?

I also got #2. Only because it was $7! great price. Had some good cotent and I think I will get #3 if they keep the good content coming. EG. Jap Touge from the hills of japan. And all the latest comp info from around the world.

Issue #3 has a write-up of Josh's / MR2drift's yellow AE86 ...
I am sure it will prove an interesting read for many, considering he's only put about $5k into his car to date.
It won't be yellow anymore the next time you see it on a drift track though ...

Arch: haha ohhh .. d'oh!
Lench: Haha prehaps so! I remember reading one of the articles where they say (Re:Touge), ".. remember, you are not Takumi" haha
haha dori rice! If they hybrid I hope it's going in the direction of Redline magazine! By the gads, my friends buys them and not only do they have scweeeeet cars they have hot babes too!
Even tho i was reading it legitamately on the car pages I felt quite aware of my surroundings with the content in the mag!

its by the same guys who make the HPI magazines so there is no rice in sight - which is good, unlike hot4s
