    Was sitting admiring the Christmas tree when Donna said "Dad, your Dino is in Forza again." I hadn't gotten around to opening the magazine so couldn't figure what had happened. Read the story about Aldo Brovarone and how he designed the original Dino. Great story! 34 years at Pininfarina designing great cars for all kinds of clientelle. Ferrari kept the design team busy but Maserati, Peugeot, Ruf/Porsche, Alfa, etc. also benefitted from Aldo's work. Forza's editors had pictures of the original show car and picked my car (at speed with me driving) to illustrate the final production Dino. Same picture that was used in a prior article. I am tickled about the picture and know all Ferrari owners will enjoy the story. Funny ending. Aldo never has driven a Ferrari, closest he got was looking at the cars parked just below the second floor design studio. A shame.

    Hey Jon,
    I was just about to send you an email to let you know they used a shot of your car, but you beat me to it. It was a surprise for me too! Color is a little off, but other than that looks great.

    Zach,
    Too bad they didn't credit your photography and the color IS way off but it is a great shot. Thanks for great work in both photography and writing. Folks really enjoy your work. My friends cleaned out the two Borders after the Dino profile, only shops in SB to carry Forza.
    John
