Issue 15 is now up on Patricks site guys and believe me things were well worth waiting for and are only going to get better!!.There are several beautiful,beautiful installs from the day including Mark Hendersons Harmon and JBL Ford Pop and Audio Arts absolute masterpiece XR3i with stunning PPI amps and Quart and Denon drivers.This install really raised the bar back then and would probably stand up in todays competitions.Graham Marlows 325i is also featured as is Mark Fukudas Chevy Blazer that you SPL boys will be keen to see.I think I have a full review of this car somewhere if anybody wants a scan,let me know.
The World finals,Head unit shoot out and a power charging write up are also featured so this really is an issue not to be missed.

Just heard from Ian about Paul's death last Monday on his motorcycle. Apparently, he hit a tree after coming off on some oil on a bend at only 40mph. A real horrible shock.

Truly shocking news :(

I intend to re-host pauls hard work and scans as a tribute in his memory as a permanent reference and slice of history for TA users.

I've updated the link/listings on these as I reconfigured the server a while back which broke the listings system. Link is still:

http://www.caraudioa...e.net/magazines

The PDF files have moved and been renamed. It's very basic at the moment, if anybody would like to pick up where Paul left off the scanning the space is there just let me know. We did have plans to turn this into a bigger site and it still can. However I don't have the time to do the scanning - or any magazines for that matter.

Imo i'd like to see some of the senior guys with mags contact Patrick! and continue the great work started by the OP. I'm a young guy and would hate to see the history in these pages disappear :o).
