The Early Days of this Aussie Car Bogans Auto Awesomeness 


James kicked off his motoring journey with more passion for car guts than a roo has for hopping. Back when mullets were cool and cars were just cars, he started off with his first car, a 1998 Nissan Pulsar SSS before beginning his mod journey with a black AU Falcon.  Starting off, he was all about cranking up cars and pushing the limits…. This probably included pushing his parents buttons too.

This Aussie car guy started to become more sought-after than a shaded parking spot in summer.

Then came the next chapter, where James really put the pedal to the metal. He started playing around with turbos, learning like a kid in a candy store, revolutionising how we think about our beloved rides. But it wasn’t all about the gears, gadgets and Christmas wrap; James was also keen as mustard on Falcons, building his now well-known red Ford Falcon with a modified turbo that shoots flames from the bonnet. It’s more popular than a cold tinny on a hot day.
