Ebay Link
Did we establish the nature of the article in this magazine? Isn't this the one where some unknown people claim how they built the batmobile?

I don't get the joke, but this was obviously a bogus article. I think the guy who wrote it (H. G. Nelson) is a radio DJ or a comedian or something like that. Maybe our resident Aussie will know.
I'll have to look at my copy again but looking at yours (jpeg) it looks like that car may not even be really in that photo.

Not my copy.
Someone gave me a link to the new ebay auction.
www.batmobile.net used to have the article from this magazine in one of the sections as if it was real.

The Batmobile.net had it on there sight for years. I think I copied all the pages. I can look for it if you would like. Since the sight went down I have not been able to contact the web master.

In the article, they claim that they were inspired to the design by a fish...... Aussies..... good luck with the Ashes... god I hate Cricket.
A little song, a little dance..... Batman's head on a lance.

HG Nelson and his sidekick rampaging Roy Slaven are icons of Australian sport and involved in all sorts of Australian things. (note my tounge in my cheek here!!)
During the Olympics you may of seen them presenting "The Dream" which was a total piss take on the olympics. They have done the dream and the ice dream since the Sydney 2000 olympics.
For more info on these two or to catch a webcast of their show checkout ABC.net.au and find the JJJ link.
If i can scan the story of how they built the '89 and it comes out ok I'll post it as its quite funny. I am not sure if the seppo's will get some of the humour but I know that our pommy mates will get all of it!
Oh and BTW that photo is not real!!! The 89 that arrived at Movie World got here some time in the early '90s. There was never an '89 down here that I know of prior to that.
Cheers from down here!

Just emailed DH the article. This copy appeared in a book of HG Nelson's collected magazine articles and stories.
Anyone that doesn't understand Australianisms is more than welcome to ask for a translation!
