Letter From The Editor:

Dear friends, in this economy it is safe to say that we are
all hurting. The best thing we car guys can do is: STICK
TOGETHER! How do we do this? Simple! Many of us
own businesses or have products and services that we all
use. What we need to do is to refer business to each other.
Yes, I know it sounds like a marketing group, but it is
much simpler than that:

What we ask is that you log onto www.drivenworld.com.

Register and click around. Introduce yourself to the
2000+ registered users and start chatting. When you are
on the forums you will see an area called “Drivenworld
Business Directory”. Click on it and put up a post about
who you are and what you do. Also, please feel free to
contact us at the magazine, we can put your info into the
hard copy which is distributed all over Southern
California. You may also feel free to review the products
and services used. We have all done a lot together, and
now we must support each other and our gasoline habits.

In our next month’s magazine, we will have a section

dedicated to promoting each others businesses. Please
email us and tell us who you are and what you do. Offer a
special to our members and lets get this ball rolling. As
there are costs to produce this magazine, we are looking
for sponsors. Please feel free to contact us if you wish to
be a sponsor. Lastly, if you would like us to cover your
car, a modification you have done, an event, or to review a
product or service, we would gladly do it.

Best wishes,

Dustin

 A Car Enthusiast’s Memorial Day

When most people think of Memorial Day celebrations images of flags, hot dogs, and cold drinks are what come to
mind. But for automotive enthusiasts, celebrations tend to include things like Ferraris, canyon driving, and
horsepower. And that is exactly how a group of petrol heads from the Drivenworld.com and Ferrarichat.com forums
celebrated this year.
Arriving to the morning meet-up spot, I was greeted with an amazing gathering of cars from what is probably one of
the most diverse groups of enthusiasts out there. This eclectic group included an array cars from Ferrari, BMW,
Porsche, Mercedes, Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru – including the new limited edition Ferrari Scuderia 16M (1 of only
499 being sold worldwide). But even though these enthusiasts have vastly different tastes in what they drive, they all
shared a love for anything automotive. So after a morning cup of coffee and a short drivers’ meeting, the group
headed to their cars and proceeded to the driver's heaven that is the Santa Monica Mountains.
Turning onto Mulholland Highway, we proceed down the scenic stretch of road past million-dollar houses and horse
ranches. Crossing Las Virgenes Road, we got our first taste of the entertainingly twisty roads that lay ahead. Filled
with decreasing radius, on-camber, and off-camber turns, as well as generous amount of elevation changes,
Mulholland Highway draws people from all over the world to experience its twisting route that can entertain even the
most advanced drivers. And it was those curves that this group was in search of.
After passing by the world-famous motorcycle hangout called “The Rock Store,” we came to a section of Mulholland
that the regulars call “The Snake” because of its endlessly twisting nature and its willingness to “bite” anyone
transiting through that, even for an instant, stopped respecting it. On any given weekend, this road is packed full of
cars, motorcycles, and bicyclists – but that day it was all ours. Upon reaching the top, we filled in the scenic turnout
for a small break and a photo-op before finishing the last section of our drive.
We continued down Mulholland Highway crossing over Kanan Road and stayed on it until we hit the final canyon of
the day. Unlike the non-stop hairpin corners of "The Snake," Encinal Canyon provides a different kind of thrill
treating drivers to big, sweeping curves and beautiful ocean views.
Giving our engines and brakes a chance to cool, we finished the driving portion of the day's events with a cruise down
the Pacific Coast Highway back into Malibu. Pulling into Malibu Colony we parked our cars and immediately started
talking about how amazing the drive was. After a few parting comments from the couple of people that had to leave
early, the rest of us ended the spectacular day with good food and good friends. Heading home after lunch, I couldn't
help but wonder what's in store for our next holiday drive.

Jay Leno and His Jet Powered EcoJet Make a Special Stop for Coffee
Car guys are used to hearing the sounds of roaring American
muscle and high-strung Italian exotics. But on May 31st everyone
was treated to one of the most unique cars to ever set tire in the
parking lot and it was piloted by one of the most well-known car
enthusiasts in the world. 

Over the sounds of the enthusiasts, came a sound that was

completely out of place anywhere accept an airport.  The high-
pitched whine of a jet engine was unmistakable, but if you looked to
the sky for its source, you were looking in the completely wrong
direction as this sound was emanating from a car, not a plane.  Once
everyone realized this and turned their attention to the street, they
saw a bright blue car unlike anything else on the road.  As the car
eased its way into the parking lot, barely clearing the driveway, the
howl of its turbine engine caused everyone to quickly cover their
ears.  As it eased into a parking spot everyone at the meet quickly
made their way over to see who could be piloting such an insane
automobile.

It was actually talk show host, comedian, and certified car nut Jay
Leno at the helm of the turbine-engined EcoJet concept from the
2006 SEMA show.  Built as a joint collaboration between GM and
Jay’s cadre of mechanics known as Bad Dog Garage, the EcoJet was
constructed on a modified Corvette Z06 platform utilizing its frame
rails, suspension and brakes, all wrapped in a carbon fiber and
Kevlar body.  It is powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine,
the same engine used in the Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin helicopter,
and produces 650 horsepower and 400 ft-lbs of torque at full
throttle.  But contrary to what you might think, this car doesn’t have
to pull into an airport to refuel.  That’s because it doesn’t run off of
jet fuel, it runs on BioDiesel.  This car was built to show automotive
enthusiasts everywhere that horsepower doesn’t necessarily have to
be environmentally unfriendly.  To add to this car’s green
credentials it was even painted with a special environmentally
friendly paint formulated by BASF.  Continuing with the jet theme,
the EcoJet rolls on specially designed Alcoa wheels designed after
turbine compressor blades that measure 20 inches in the front and
22 inches in the rear and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires. Photos: Jon Barrett Lateralgphotography.com

After an hour of signing autographs, taking pictures, and sharing the

EcoJet with the crowd, it was finally time for Leno to depart.  He
got in the car and advised everyone to stay clear of the exhaust vents
while he fired up the engine.  It started with a low-pitched howl but
slowly grew into a shrill whine as the turbine came up to power.  As
he pulled out of the parking spot and down the aisle towards the
driveway he was followed by a crowd of photographers and people
that just wanted to get one more glimpse at such a special car. 
Hopefully Jay will be back soon with another unique and amazing
car from his vast collection to share with the automotive faithful that
gather in Woodland Hills every Sunday.

 PROJECT: 1969 FASTBACK PAINT AND BODY

What could I do,

she had kept a picture
in her wallet of a 1969
mach one for two years.
I came across this 1969
Fastback and I had to
surprise her with it.......

I called Gary at Bristol and told

him of our ideas about painting
the Fastback. We stripped it
down and called Jeff at Century
Tow to bring it over to get the
paint and body done.
Primered and Blocked, we are very
close to paint. Stay tuned!

Preparation for
paint. Gary’s crew
is straightening the Another happy Bristol Customer

 Magna Charger’s
2010 Camaro

Magna Charger Camaro ZLs™ 

Like the iconic ’69 ZL1 Camaro, the new Magna Charger ZLs™ equipped
2010 Camaro features an all-aluminum 500hp engine wrapped in crisp Gen
1-inspired sheet metal. However, that’s where the similarities end. Chevrolet
sold just 69 of the highly coveted ZL1s and virtually none of them ever saw
the street. By contrast, almost anyone can build a Magna Charger ZLs. It’s
as easy as bolting on a new Magna Charger MP 2300 TVS supercharger
system. While the original ZL1 was reported to have more than 500hp and
450ft.lbs. of torque pushing the car to low 13s @ 110mph, the ZLs is even
more powerful, and capable of 12.5s @ 115 mph. What’s really nice is that
you can drive the Magna Charger ZLs every day without a penalty in fuel
mileage or low-speed driveability. Where the original ZL1 was a
cantankerous 8mpg anachronism, the ZLs is smooth, quiet and clean –
equally ready to deliver top EPA mileage figures or smoke the tires in any
gear – your choice!

      Magna Charger’s new MP 2300 supercharger technology is the same

used for the new ZR1 Corvette. The four-lobe rotor features a high-twist
160º helix that has improved efficiency (less power to drive), cooler
discharge temperatures and is much quieter. Additional efficiency is the
result of the unique bypass valve that reduces parasitic drag during normal
driving. The Magna Charger also interfaces seamlessly with the GM Active
Fuel Management system (some models) that cuts the engine to four
cylinders at light throttle.

      The Magna Charger ZLs system comes complete with a new, patented
high-velocity aluminum intake manifold, integral water-to-air intercooler, and
all necessary brackets, connectors, hardware and any needed specialized
tools. The supercharger has a self-contained lubrication system that is
maintenance-free. Calibration is included with a handheld computer
programmer that re-programs the factory ECU and stores the original
calibration for possible future use. A full instruction manual with color photos
makes the step-by-step installation process easy to follow.

   All Magna Charger supercharger systems carry a Standard 3-Year Limited

warranty on the supercharger system, and Magna Charger also offers an
optional 36,000-mile/3 Year Powertrain Warranty. For more information
please contact: Magna Charger, 1990 Knoll Drive, Ventura, CA 93003.
