Hi All,

Thought I'd post up a little intro, but I won't go into too much detail yet as I've contacted your club admin and waiting for a response, and getting in trouble for what could be seen as spamming won't be a good start! I'd also like to point out that we are not another owners club we are an actual printed magazine.

Who are we? We're a new printed magazine solely dedicated to Performance Toyotas past, present and future, TOYOTA PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE, and we're launching very soon. I'm the editor Steve Bishop, and although I'm not a Starlet owner I do have a soft spot for them, and I do have 3 Toyota MR2s, and the rest of my team are all Toyota owners, you can read a bit more about myself and the team over on our website.

From browsing around here on the uksc, I'm hoping we are going to be featuring a few Starlets in the near future, and I look forward to seeing some posted on our website, as we're currently being overun by Celicas (lol) you're all very welcome to post photos and potential feature requests. We'll also be at all of the major Jap Shows, Japfest and JAE and look forward to meeting you guys.

Hopefully I'll be back with permission in due course to let you know more about Toyota Performance Magazine, but in the meantime you can find out more, and post up your photos at:

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! and I'm glad my intro was taken in the right way, as after all we do respect the rules, and want to gain friends!

We've successfully published an all MR2 publication for over three years now, see http://www.mr2only.com and felt it time to branch out into all Toyota Performance models, we're not a massive faceless media chain, we're a relatively small publishing company that own, drive and enjoy, tinker with, track, and show their Toyotas.

ep82_girl has emailed my colleague today, and we'd certainly be interested in the RR day in Notts.

We're looking for Starlets to feature, projects, technical articles, we're very much about the club culture, biggest show for us this year will be JAE, by then we'll be working on our 2nd issue of TPM so a bit of a after launch party will be planned for JAE!

Great to get a few Starlets posted up on our website guys, so please do spare five mins to introduce yourselves and post up some photos, oh, and submit any feature requests!

Thanks again, look forward to meeting you :0)

good to see interest in these little cars as there are some epic projects out there... some lie quite and you don't here much of the progress but others (like on here) there are massive project builds and show the whole progression.

Hi folks,

Thought I'd throw my 2p in. I'm Steve's colleague, he's the handsome one, I'm the fatty!

Glad to see you've enjoyed what we've done so far, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hopefully. We're very interested in the RR day in Nottingham, so we'll probably be there to take some photos, ask some people about their cars and do some R&D on your club, which I must say is among the most welcoming and friendly that we've come across.

We'd like someone to volunteer to be a Rep for your club on TPM, to highlight your events, new cars, developments on TPM, etc. Obviously sort it out amongst yourselves and just let me, or Steve know. The lucky person can then add your events to our Events --> 2010 thread, then there's no excuse for us missing anything!

See you around, and thanks again for the welcome.

Johnny
