As the end of 2021 looms large, we’ve repeated last year’s act to bring you another 13th issue! The second-ever Street Machine Yearbook is on shelves now, and comes with the world’s coolest 2022 calendar.

When digging through the archives for our ‘Best SM Special Features’ retrospective, we found a huge amount of great content – too much for one mag. Part Two lies within, covering our favourite stories from 2002 to now.

Dominating the cover is Shaun Scerri’s off-chops HQ. Shaun took the real-deal GTS back to factory specs years ago, before changing his mind and chasing power. We’re glad as hell he did! The Tangerine sedan now packs an 8/71-blown small-block combo, good for 800hp.

Dom Luppino’s ZD Fairlane was bought new by his father, so it’s oozing with sentimental value. The Dandy Clevor-powered yacht is a serious streeter, having survived the fires of Drag Challenge 2019 in style.

We haven’t forgotten about you Val lovers; here’s Tim Haddock’s super-neat CL-fronted VJ ute. There’s more than meets the eye, with a 383-cube big-block Chrysler donk and five-speed ’box hiding underneath alongside a raft of factory-improved touches.

Mat Brown’s ProCharged XE ESP hides just as many goodies, with a tough Windsor and pro touring gear to boot, not to mention a gorgeous factory-look interior.

This Drag Challenge battler lays down the rubber road to freedom courtesy of big-block power, with HQ aficionado Mark Sauer behind the wheel. Very toey!

Trevor Owen’s 10-second, 202-powered LJ streeter blew minds on our YouTube channel earlier this year. We’ve now got a full feature on the car, looking at Trevor’s incredible ability to extract bulk speed from the humble six-pot.

On the topic of hot 202s, remember our Grunt Hunt special from 2000? Turns out it’s been kicking along in a UC Torana hatchback for 20 years! In this month’s Time Machine feature, we run you through a bit of the donk’s history, and its life outside SM.

Flick to our Legend feature for a great chat with Aussie street machining legend Geoff Paton, as he takes us back to the 80s.

There was action aplenty at Palmyra Dragway for the Sugar City Powerfest. A great variety of cars turned out for the three-day bash, and we’ve got bumper coverage from Ash Wilson and Iain Curry.

Stateside SM correspondent extraordinaire Matt Reekie headed to Wildwood, New Jersey for a dose of sand and salt at The Race of Gentlemen. Homebuilt jalopies and grassroots racers hit the beach in pursuit of heads-up racing and old-school fun.

Of course, there’s all the usual goodness too, including a cool tech yarn on 3D-scanning developments and a look at a massive, blown 510-cube big-block Chev from the minds at BG Engines.

So get on down to your local newsagent or supermarket for 2021’s lucky 13 issue. It won’t be around forever!
