Tanner Foust Mulholland Drift Attack!!!



For the love of all that Mulholland Drive represents for true turn-chasing automotive enthusiast, Tanner along with Rockstar, pull the master-dream-move and just have the whole street closed to film this segment... Had this segment been in a two-hour movie filled with rubbish-junk, we would watch it for this pure automotive moment... Hat's off to Tanner Foust and Rockstar for doing the "un-thinkable" ...the Rockstar'Norm!

Why is this on the TMRm'zine page? We, TMRm'zine spent a many nights up there in the early days [ok, nights] of the magazine and before the mag. We regard Mulholland with high-regard! It was a right of passage of belonging to a true automotive underground culture...

TMR'spotting

TMRm'zine Corportate Logo TSHIRT

The magazine has been long gone [1996-2000R.I.P.], but AndyH.com made me a sample shirt with one of the many logos we had. This was the logo we used when the magazine went full-size and was also used for stickers of which this shape around the logo represents. Might have to make these available at some point...

TMR'spotting

Andy Williamson was one of the guys I met while at Spring Break Nationals Daytona Beach Florida [IASCA] in the spring of 1997 of which I was shooting the scene for the first issue. I wanted to show all my import scene friends how they movement was spreading across the country while everyone thought it was just this little SoCal thing. I knew and Andy knew this was way more... and was only about to GROW!

This Civic was not Andy's first wip... When I met him, he was rockin' a black water-pumpin-VW. This Civic became one of his many race projects.

Andy and his crew of friends showed me all around Florida and became close with the TMR'family as Andy would be our Florida representative for the magazine going forward. My major mission while in Florida was to visit Select Sales in Miami as they where one of the oldest TRD importers prior to TRD having a USA office!

After TMRm'zine was laid to rest, Andy and crew wanted to continue the spirit of TMR and pushed forward to start C16 Magazine. Andy did an interview with me back then:

TMRm'zine Sign


Spotted this at ScottG's Shop. This sign was apart of our SEMA Show Booth and was in the trailer for a long time and wound up down at Scott's house for safe keeping for the time being...











Here is the sign in use way back in the day:
