I actually found out through TFbM.. and I e-mailed the photographer/reporter.. and he came down to take the pictures... to be honest, I was a little discouraged at the first article my car was in, cause it only showed my engine and interior, althought the comments on them were reassuring But now I am in disbelief... I'm buying a few copies of the mag for sure... gonna send one to my mom in Nova Scotia and just put a sticky note on page 66.. not even going to call her and tell her.. hehe

Oh... Denis, you gotta start logging yourself off.. lol

ME TOO

Hey that Hi-Perf Pontiac guy Huw took a bunch of pics of my Formula last September. He said we may be seeing my car in the mag by summer '03.

It was interesting doing a photo shoot of the car we ended up with a bunch of passers by watching -- including some dork in a 5.0 doing a burn out nearby.

Who knows we may see my car in the mag too ?

adious,
RP.

That would be way cool!!

Huw took the pics of my car in late May I think (brain is getting rusty, like my Ford) So about 9 months for the article to be born sounds about right!!

Thanks for the flattery Kaz

I just wish I could make it have that "wet" shine look again

Also living up here in the north country stone chips are a major problem (lots of good ol' boys in pckup trucks that like to ride the shoulder).

Regards
Mark

It's to bad your so far away. Giving a car that wet shinnny look is what I do....Here is my most favorite example...

I used to own an 99 Extreme, but mine was red.

I got stone chips too Had the car painted last December, and some punk kids decided to do donuts in the appartments parking lot, naturaly i became very vilent towards to punks, not that it helped any except to relieve some agression. In the end the landlord has now had the lot paved and those guy's take off into there apartment when they see me, but i got mass stone chips up the front of my car, u cant see them from a distence but up close they depress the heck out of me Met a guy thats mary'n an old school friend of mine that does detailing, and he thinks he might be able to buff a few out, gunna try it this spring if i can get ahold of him as i cant aford a nother new pain job
