Ehall,
European Car is a good rag. It could be incorrect notes, or taking sides with their add campaign. I, personally, enjoy seeing cars like mine being showcased within modern cars. Know that it's not personal. It's all about who supports their magazine. A typo favoring someone that pays BIG BUCKS getting some game is not revelant to the heart of the story.
We 951 guys got some press, and that's good enough for me.
The story of our cars is important. Don't let the little stuff get in the way of telling our story.
European Car is not a POS rag. I am a suscriber, and will continue to enjoy their magazine.
Regards,
George

I guess it just irks me, especially after all of the work that was put into this, that they "might" embellish for some dubious purpose. It makes me wonder how "correct" the rest of their reporting is.
I agree about getting our cars out there. That is good for all of us.

Ehall,
Thanks for the response. Sometimes we just have to deal with the cards. I'm a veteran. Never saw action as a Coast Guard Navigator and Vessell Traffic Controller on the Mississippi River. I could go on, but I'm still a man that understands who pays the bills in the context of articles written in a magazine. The author took some risk in placing our car on the front page. Know that he is on the hot seat.
Know that if they are willing to write another article on my car, I'll be more involved in the actual text.
Thank you for posting. I appreciate you and your comments.
I'm asking that you simply enjoy our cars getting some press. The magazine that did the article is a good magazine. They allowed our cars to get some needed press for valuations for all of us.
Can't all of us use some needed increase in resale value?
Know I appreciate you and all you do.
Best to you and yours,
George

Sean,
You know that those pictures are better. Can't wait to go fishing with you, your brother, and father in a few weeks. I promise that you will be smitten with my boat running and gunning way offshore. 50mph on a 32' boat may not seem fast, but trust me....you will have fun.
Being tools just in case.....LOL
By the way, my wife just said that next weekend to Greer is a boys trip...interested in helping me take the new Duramax to Greer? It will be chipped...!
PM me or call.
George
I'll show you men a good time.

When Pablo wrote the article he just asked me what sort of parts were on the car and then he put the story together.We didnt tell him we installed the brakes,suspension,wheels or tires.Those were already on the car so it looked good before it even got into the shop! I think he just assumed we put those things on since we usually install those kinds of things on the big builds we do.

I just got my issue. Looks great George. Awesome car. Congratulations. I know exactly how you feel. I made the May 05 cover. Pablo and Les were some of the best guys I've ever met. Great job you guys. Really great.

True enthusiasts will always spot some error in a magazine article about their own particular breed of car. The important thing is it was a positive article with some awesome pictures and it painted our cars in a very glowing light compared to some very exotic modern machinery. George should be rightfully proud of his steed and Tim will hopefully get some great publicity and hopefully more business which can only be good for our community as a whole.
Well done guys
