Located along the Atlantic seaboard, the ’Times C area is comprised of four Canadian provinces including Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Known more for its stunning sights and outstanding seafood, customized automobiles in the area are few and far between. However, the region’s best kept secret (before the Trailer Park Boys exploded) is Serge Leger, who has single- handedly put Maritime tuning on the map with the release of this fire-breathing 2004 Nissan 350Z. And he’s not just jumping on the bandwagon with this Z, as Leger has owned the arguably sexier predecessor, the time- lessly styled Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. Leger is very involved in the Maritimes’ sport compact scene, customizing cars for about 15 years. He owns and operates Henry’s Auto Body and Xtreme Motorsports in his hometown of Shediac, New Bruns- wick, and the shop has hosted an annual Fun Run show ‘n’ shine since 1998. Back in May of 2002, we spotlighted Leger’s custom ’95 Acura Integra in our pages, the first ride from the Canadian East Coast to ever grace these pages. That car was Best of Show winner at SCP and the Darknights Nationals back in 2001. Leger is an automotive artisan, who has mastered SOUND & AUTO PERFORMANCE the knowledge and craft behind automotive body and paintwork passed down from his skilled father.

    Issue 94 March 2013 AED 25 1 The end of an era, and a start of a new one! March of 2013 is a crucial month for us at Top Performance and a mini jubilee too! First of all, it marks the eighth anniversary of our magazine and it also happens to be our last printed issue, as we make the switch to digital format. Yes, the time has finally come, and the April issue will be making history as our first digital magazine. As much as we are going to miss our first baby, the printed version, we're looking to the future and are so excited about going digital. The new format will broaden our reach, multiply our readership and give us the flexibility we never had with traditional media. Best of all, the magazine will be offered at no cost, making it accessible to everyone here in the United Arab Emirates, the Middle East and beyond. So, without further ado, I invite you all to check us out online. Come 1st of April 2013, Top Performance will be available to both read on- line at www.performancemag.net or to download to a device of your choice. Let us have your feedback and help us make your favourite magazine even better. [email protected] See you on the other side! OUR TEAM CONTACT US INTERNATIONAL MEDIA AGENTS Chief Editor K. M.
