On the Run: Ty Nguyen’s Simply Clean Audi A4

This past weekend when we are out at Subaru for the ESX Dealer tour, there were many makes and models OTHER than Subaru’s that came out to witness the event. From Honda’s to Toyotas, people flocked as ESX stunted their drag car and Subaru hosted their shop day. There was one car however that stood out like a fat kid in dodge ball, and that car was Ty Nguyen’s, Audi A4. It was kind of funny how we encountered the car. We were standing around the event waiting for a raffle to start and a delivery van was somewhat blocking the entrance to the event, and when the van moved, someone tapped me on the shoulder and said, holy shit! I look back and asked what the hell the commotion was, and to my surprise there was this A4 Laying frame at a Subaru dealership, I paused, and knew we had to shoot it…and we only had 45 minutes to do so.

Destined For Greatness: 3 370Z’s Prepare for the Arrival of Top Secret

Secret Services Auto was surrounded by 370z’s last thursday as Planet Zero, Swat Performance and Baker-Jackson Nissan were dynoing their Nissan 370Z’s in preparation for Smoky Nagata’s (of Top Secret Japan fame) arrival and tune starting on March 29th, just in time before Import Reactor Unlimited. I must have counted 5 or 6 370z’s that day in front of the shop, three of which sported a small “Top Secret” decal on the rear window.
