Is this magazine specifically targeted toward nissan owners, or is this month's edition displaying all nissans because thats the cool thing lately? Or is there other content in the mag that we're not seeing in this post?

Default To Clarify

Down Shift covers all makes and models, in the sports car market. The first issue covers mostly Nissan's as those are my personal ties to the market. I have owned a SR swap'd S-13 as well as my 300ZX since 1998, and have garnered alot of connections along the way.

In our next issue we will be covering a Lamborghini Diablo, a MK4 Supra TT, a Ford F150 Lightning, and a Dodge Viper GTSR, as well as hopefully the creator of a SR swapped Z32, Z31 and 240Z. We will be continuing our project 300ZXTT coverage as well.

Another main componet of our publication is event coverage. We are dedicated to covering all major events in central Florida and bringing them to the public eye.

We froze our asses off last Friday and Saturday in Gainesville doing test shoots with models. Here is one of the models. Send me some pictures of your MK4

I see it is this weekend though, on such short notice I dont know if I can get some one to go there and cover it. I will be tied up out of town in Orlando hopefully buying my new beater car, and then coming home and working on my Z32 (Must install a new fuel pump)

However, if some one who goes takes some good 2 mega pixel plus images I'm sure we can accomodate the event in the magazine.
