I was just in at my dealer for some service and picked up a copy of Benzo they had laying around. Finally a mag that is more about the car and less about what kind of golf clubs you have in the trunk.

.................I was shown a copy of the maiden issue at Mbautowerks when I went there yesterday. One of the contributing edittors is Donnie Drummonds who did the Kleemann S/C on my car. I was quite impressed by the quality of the magazine, the pictures, and the topics covered relate alot to the ones discussed on this forum. There are also adds for performance and A/V products that I didn't know existed. I don't think the magazine is available on the newstand yet, but I imagine that any bookstore can get it. I believe it takes about 6 weeks or so to get your first issue if you subcribe.

Took my first look at BENZO Magazine this past weekend.

Very interesting read. There is some good background about Kleemann USA and other tuning goodies to read about.

Any idea about newsstand availability? Website?

p.s. Who's the "dirty-girl" mechanic?

................The dirty girl mechanic is actually an interesting prop. The mechanic answering the questions is Donnie Drummonds at mbautowerks. Great guy. They used the girl as a prop. She is not real.

I wanted to subscribe online and did not because the page was not secured. I don't want the entire web world using my Credit Card.

Is it a quality magazine?
