The Car Room

8/31/2009

The Car Room Magazine has the ability to keep every diecast collector entertained and enlightened about the diecast world. It details a wide array of diecast with exquisite photos and page after page of detailed reviews and recommendations. The magazine is composed by a group of people that are incredibly enthusiastic about the hobby, which makes it even more fun to read.

On top of putting together an excellent magazine, The Car Room also offers reviews on their website. We recommend you check out the Playing With Cars videos, where Joe Kelly, Jr. gives you comprehensive reviews of numerous diecast.

Over time, we will be hosting some of their videos on our blog so you can see for yourself why we’re enthused about The Car Room. If you would like to learn more, be sure to check out their website at http://www.thecarroom.com/showroom.html."

Eric Bana directs and stars in this personal documentary about his 25-year, deep-rooted love for his first car “The Beast” – a 1974 Ford XB Falcon Coupe. This film begins in Eric’s family’s garage in Australia when he decides to restore and race the car. Bana, along with the help of his 3 closest friends, enter “The Beast” into the Targa Tasmania Rally, a notorious, dangerous 5-day off-track motor race. On the fourth day of the race, misfortune strikes and Eric has to struggle with what he has done. This real life drama explores Bana’s relationship with the car he admires, tragedy and a lifetime of friendship. Also included are testimonials from Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and Dr. Phil. Watch the trailer and look for it in a theater soon.
