So this is it! … We’re finally alive! So welcome to 01 the first edition of “Octane Fix Online”. Lots of you know we have been wandering around the shows with cameras and video gear collecting goodies to archive for this day. And yes I know, it has taken a while. It has definitely been a learning curve to get this all to come together, so we fully have to thank all the people who have let us photograph their cars and the event organisers who have let us put camera’s where no man or woman dares to go! I’m quietly surprised two of the camera’s are still alive actually! But it’s worth the shot if we get the card back eh! I honestly still don’t know what to call this production. I guess it’s a magazine but the goal is for this to be sooo much more than just a magazine. Being an on-line production only, it means we can do pretty much whatever we want without the problems of too many pages causing costly printing, production and distribution fees!
Meaning …. we can do MORE!!!! You will soon see as you flick through that we will fully load each issue with photos and videos of the events and feature cars with the hope to not miss anything for you to check out. And YES, I did say videos! Throughout the articles you will see video icons on various photos, just click on the icon and you will be transported to the video of the event or car via this strange inter-web thingy like no hard copy book can ever do! The best way to view these videos is to connect your laptop, tablet or whatever you have to your big screen and fully immerse yourself in the event and just watch it on TV. If you can also Bluetooth to your stereo at the same time, then FULLY do that. The sound tracks are recorded with full stereo output and even if you are watching on your tablet, definitely have your head phones on! Bonus is, if you don’t like the music, put your own on and just watch the video and kick back! So this is us! Grass roots car enthusiasts, warts
and all! From drag racing, burnouts, rallies, retro pageants, retro caravans indoor and outdoor car shows to just good ole Sunday cruises, if it looks fun, we’re in! Each issue is looking to be pretty big so as we go, we may split them and issue them every two weeks instead of once a month, meaning even more for you to check out! With the big runs like Muscle Car Madness and the Hops becoming an extra edition all for themselves as they will be huge! Thanks again to everyone who has supported and encouraged this to happen, the enthusiasm and support has been amazing and certainly encouraging! So jump in and enjoy!
Thanks heaps all! Giggles Aka Bogan
