Great writeup on Hanks Mondial in recent FORZA mag. Finally a well written & accurate overview of this unique shift actuator system. The car looks fantastic too Hank. Bravo.
Hey Michael, I didn't want to say anything about the article here on FChat because I had no clue as to which issue it would be in. I just saw your post so I ran out the the mail box to see if it was there..... Our photo shoot day with Matt Stone, was pure fun. Maybe tomorrow Cheers, Hank
It was neat actually seeing Rachel in print. I've been reading about her on Fchat for a long time. Great looking car Hank!
Congrats Hank! Well deserved for Rachel! Who'd a thought 5 years ago we'd had our Mondials in a magazine?
Congrats Hank, I do remember you mentioned a photo shoot in Forza back in January! Gotta rush out to get my copy now. All the Best! -Mike
OUTSTANDING HANK! You are THE MAN. But please tell me you really didn't acknowledge "that the Valeo setup isn't perfect". George
This makes several published Mondial reports recently. I hope our cars aren't getting discovered. If mine goes up in value too much I won't be able to justify holding on to it. Congrats on the story.
Well done Hank, your posts regarding the shift times on the order of 100 milliseconds really helped me to appreciate what the Valeo trans. was all about. It's nice seeing your car get this well-deserved press. I'm looking for the next spike on google trends. [ Wonder what that spike was at the end of last year? Maybe Mike campaigning a new data mining tool ] Image Unavailable, Please Login
Taking a sample from just eBay, it does appear that Mondial prices are much higher now than in December when I was browsing inventory. Whether it was winter vs spring/summer prices, maybe, but lets all agree that good article write-ups on Mondials just bring more light to a great car that is soon becoming a collectable classic!

Hank, that is fantastic. I am so happy for you. I can't wait for the issue to arrive. It's great to see Mondials get some good press. Lino
Ted, you can try calling them to ask but I could not find FORZA or Hemmings sport & exotic at B&N, but Books-a-Mil did list Hemmings sport & exotic but showed empty for Forza on a serach: BTW, the Forza issue 118 June says out May 1 in stores ???

Im standing in line with my copy at B&N. Wow, page 43 the read begins. Can't wait to get it home. Looks like a Great Read with lots of beautiful pictures. Way to go Hank. Unfortunatly they do not have the June issue of Hemmings. Sorry PV
I'll tell you - there is one picture I really wish I had. That would be one of Rachel, Rod and the kids, and my Rachel, back when they owned her. That would be too cool. Rats - - still no FORZA in todays mail - - maybe tomorrow....... Cheers, Hank
If anyone can find that picture, mr soucorp can. He's our Jay Leno of the lost archives. Come on Mike, dig that baby out.
