Ride of the Month
We’ve got another T-shirt from Black Forest Industries for our ROTM. We’re giving it to Jose for the photo of his sweet Cabbie. As always, we’d like to thank everybody who entered Readers’ Rides and encourage you to keep entering your cars to readersrides@eurotuner.com. We had some great cars and photos this month, so we must also commend Josiah, Steven, Matt, Arash and Andrew. Remember, every entry is included in the mag, provided the photos are big enough. We need all your details as seen here, so email us ASAP. For more info on BFI range of apparel and VAG tuning parts, log on to blackforestindustries.com
