MUSCLE CAR

This 1980 Trans Am, with a 400 Chev Motor gives new meaning to the term ‘Muscle Car”. Wayne Howlett, a gym owner from Tasmania and brother Shaune are Ronnie Coleman mad.

“My brother Shaune and I are huge Ronnie Coleman fans, and have had the privilege of meeting him on two occasions.” He tells IM.

Wayne thought what better way to honour their favourite bodybuilder, than display the Mr O on the bonnet of his pride and joy.

The airbrush work that had been done on the bonnet took 25 hours to complete, and Wayne says, “I love the artwork so much I have had the bonnet sitting in my living room since it was completed, the artist Jeff Elliot has agreed to cover the walls in my new house with bodybuilders.”

Now that’s a muscle-head if we’ve ever seen one! The brothers own Xtreme Physique Gym in Tassie.

International Bodybuilding Competitor Jim Kotantonis yesterday visited Xtreme Physique Gym.
Jim has been a great help to Wayne and Shaune Howlett over the last year or so with invaluable guidance on their training and diet.

Jim and his friend Laura who is also an established and well-known NABBA Competitor both visited Xtreme Physique Gym and were both impressed with not only the gym itself but the professional manner in which the gym is run.
Jim has even offered to add a few pieces of equipment to the already impressive collection of equipment here at Xtreme Physique; members can expect a new Standing Calf Raise Machine and a new T-Bar Row.

Gym owner Wayne Howlett says that the thickness through the chest and width of Jimmy’s back is truly a sight, unbelievable! Jimmy will be working with Wayne in the lead up to the Tasmanian Bodybuilding Championships in 2006 where he hopes to win the open title.
