Bad Bish (II) on the Cover of Japanese Bonzai Magazine !

It all started when I took the photographer of Japanese Bonzai Magazine for a ride in my Evo and he said it was the fastest street car he ever had been in. I asked him if he ever rode in Simon Norris's car and he said he had no idea who that was. Kind of funny for a UK magazine.

Anyway, my Evo has already been on so many magazine features its too played out to cover and looks more like a race car so I told him about George's Bad Bish and it seems the rest is history as apparently the famous Buschur Built Bad Bish is now featured on the cover of one of my most favorite UK car magazines "Japanese Banzai"

It was funny as they say "Sleeping with the Bishes" a reference to "Sleeping with the fishes" apparently making a play on words, anyway it was an inside joke - we'll see what they say in the article



Here is a link to the magazine's web page

Here is my video of my meeting with the photographer from last summer (it took a while till the article came out)

Many thanks and props to Buschur Racing for building such an amazing car for the original owner Pete.

Hopefuly the Bad Bish (II) will head to the track this spring

The original Bad Bish is David Buschurs personal Rs

This one built for Pete and another built for Tom Powell are copies which also have carbon fibre body parts and seats and are very lightweight

George K bought this car from Pete

The car is undefeated in private racing - but has never been to a track

Duh! That's why I'm wondering why you recommended a copy of the original for a mag shoot, and not the actual original bad bish?!?

Becuase the guy was at our facility in Stamford, CT doing some shots on other cars we have (not in Ohio) when I basically opened his eyes to the world of Evo Power!

Its interesting that this month one of George's other cars = a BMW twin turbo M Coupe which makes 730 whp on pump and meth is on the cover of another UK car magazine - Performance BMW



A good month for George - but he has about 30 cars that have been featured in magazines to date
