THE MAGAZINE ROOM A Little Introduction If you re reading this there s a real good chance you re in the SIN City for the greatest show on earth, SEMA. Or maybe you have finally rested up from you long week of making new contacts, vendors and friends at SEMA. Either way I m glad you have made it to the greatest online custom automotive magazine on the web. We publish a new issue the first of every month and feature rides ranging from Mini Trucks to Hot Rods and everything in between. Show coverage covers all regions of the United States and beyond. We do all this with 12 photographers and staff members and another 10 contributors. Also at the end of every article there is a link to click to see the hundreds of photos that were taken during the photo shoot or weekend of shooting. When you are done flipping the pages, click on the website and take a look around. You will find links to every issue dating back to 2002 or you can search though the features that we have run in the past and check out some past show coverage. Now let me tell you about the November issue. We start out with the Stunning and hot Gauge Girl Barbara shot by Nick Means on the cover. Our features begin in Las Vegas with Greg Jones My Girl 1969 Chevelle that is one mean machine from top to bottom. Next Aaron J Photography captured Troy and Lisa Pentland Indiana Pride 379 Peterbilt that is defiantly a head turner. Back to the Westside in Colorado, Illusive Dreams Photography caught up with Koeal Braxton and his 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII aka Kristal . To round out the features Brad Walker ran into James Carswell and his 1948 Pro Street Chevrolet Pick/Up at a show down in Tennesse. Shows in this issue include Texas Heatwave (always a great time) covered by Brad Stillwell. Next Chris Barnes, Ryan Hartley and I go to the Buckeye State to catch the 15th Annual PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio; this is one of the largest shows of its kind. Out on the west coast Robert Rosales checked out the Los Angeles Hot Import Nights show and brought back some nice rides but even nicer ladies of the show. Last but not least Las Vegas resident Chromey gathered some great shots of the Last Call show put on by Severed Ties. That wraps up the November issue, hope you enjoy the next 180 pages of quality coverage and features from Coast to Coast and everywhere in between. Until next month, gamble what you can afford, keep your rides clean and remember Christmas is just around the corner! Dan Double D Davis Editor ‒ Gauge Magazine
