Feature Car: Marion Breski's Ford Mustang
625rwhp 8/71-Blown 369ci Windsor
There is a handful of workshops scattered around the country that seem to live in rarified air, pumping out machines that seem to consistently rise above the rest of the field. Some critics may sigh when they see yet another feature car bearing the Pro Flo badge, but no one can deny the sheer quality of their output. The fact that they’re also incredibly prolific just makes it all the more incredible.
One of the latest machines from the Pro Flo shop that I’ve been lucky enough to photograph is this 1967 Mustang coupe belonging to Marion Breski.
Powered by a 625rwhp 369ci Dart-based Windsor boasting an 8/71 and injection, this Pony is an incredible mix of classic style and potent modern mumbo. The shoot was featured in the February 2025 issue of Street Machine.
Feature Car: Sam Caruana's Chevrolet Camaro
Whipple-Blown 416ci Dart
Sam Caruana’s 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is an absolute beast as far as street cars go. Making over 1000hp thanks to a Whipple-blown 416ci Dart-based small-block, the car mixes brute force with a killer stance and a ton of classic style.
My photo shoot on the car was featured in the January 2025 issue of Street Machine magazine.
Front Cover: March 2025 Street Machine
Scene Legend Torana Returns
I photographed ORSM – the green Holden LJ torana, pictured here – for the cover of the March 2025 issue of Street Machine magazine. The car has been around for a long time, having been formerly piloted down drag strips around the country by the late Sam Fenech.
The family has returned the car to street duties with a full rebuild and it is looking smoother than ever. Grab a copy and read the full story now!
Feature Car: Darryl Penton's Toyota Hilux
Slammed and Blown Toyota-V8 Stunner
I got the chance to photograph Darryl Penton’s blown V8-powered Toyota Hilux minitruck for the 2024 Street Machine Yearbook. This truck has been an ongoing labour of love for Darryl for some time and it is riddled with detail.
From the snake-belly stance provided by the airbags and big billet wheels filling the massaged guards, to the smooth bodywork and swapped front end, the truck looks the business. Check out the smoothed tray area, too.
But step inside the you’ll see a Summernats-ready show interior that’s matched by a smooth and stout blown Toyota V8, proving this machine isn’t just for looks.
Feature Car: Peter Bonassi's Holden Commodore
Blown and Injected 420ci SBC
What has 980hp, 22x13in rears and a ton of attitude? Peter Bonassi’s Holden Commodore, that’s what.
This VK was Peter’s dream car from his mid-teens, bit it took almost a decade to make his dream a reality. It’s not every day you find a small-block making this kind of horsepower, either.
My photo shoot was featured in the 2024 Street Machine Yearbook. Enjoy a few photos of the car here.
Front Cover - Dom's Holden for Street Machine
Insane Skid Shot Makes Cover
Who doesn’t love a good skid shot?! I know the team at Street Machine sure do. And from the feedback I’ve seen online, many readers do, too.
I got to shoot Dom Luci’s Holden for the cover of Street Machine’s January 2025 issue. The skid shot was the last thing we did during the photo shoot. It took mere seconds to finish off the sticky rubber at the back and the smoke was instant.
Believe it or not, this was actually the only viable frame I got from the skid. I had set the car up to make best use of the sun, and set up a couple of flashes around the car to fill in some shadow and light up the smoke. The car had other ideas. It immediately kicked off to the side, Dom went out of view – hidden behind the bower – and the flashes were no longer in their optimum positions.
After that, the car just disappeared behind a thick cloud of smoke, noever to be seen again. The air was quite still that afternoon and there was no moving it. Despite that, this shot still ticked almost all the boxes and the cover came out great!

Feature Car: Chris Schembri's HT Monaro
Blown Dart Iron-Block 408ci LS
It was great to see my photo shoot on Chris Schembri’s HT Monaro finally make it into the December 2024 issue of Street Machine. I’d shot it several months prior in a newly finished shed that belonged to a friend of his – both the car and the shed looking a million bucks apiece.
Powered by a supercharged iron-block 408ci Dart LS, this classic Aussie coupe is absolutely no slouch and Chris isn’t afraid to bury the boot in it.I don’t think you can ever get sick of HK/HG/HT Monaros, can you?!
Feature Car: Mark Caruana's HK Holden
Flawless 700hp N/A Beauty
Mark Caruana found a unicorn when he stumbled across this genuine 11,000-mile survivor that had already been through one ground-up resto. A truly ‘only driven on Sundays’ situation, much of this car’s interior is actually original!
It was a quick build, with the final rush from painted shell to Summernats taking just three short months. Find a copy of the November 2024 issue of Street Machine to read all about it.
Feature Car: Al Vella's Ford Capri
1000hp 468ci N/A Carbon-Bodied Racer
Al Vella is no stranger to drag racing or to Street Machine’s Drag Challenge. But his latest Capri build will decimate everything he’s achieved before, thanks to its monster 468ci naturally-apirated small-block build and light weight carbon panels.
Making a stout 1000hp, this little British coupe runs on 15x14in rear wheels and 315 radials. Despite all the horsepower and racing influence, the car has been beautifully finished, with the panel work handled by the talented crew at Image Vehicle Manufacturing.
My shoot was featured in the November 2024 issue of Street Machine.
