    They told me they wanted to do the article because it wasnt done in a high end shop, no magic, no mystery just my garage at home. I agree, im getting tired of the same new car articles and novitec stuff.

    I have to agree, but those are easy articles to write. What -I'm- really tired of is that constantly reprinted "buyers' guide" series that they're rerunning for the third or fourth time.

    Just curious, did you ever meet the reporter or was it all email and pulling copy from your posts?

    They change the prices but yeah the content is unchanged. I noticed the "high" price for a 308GTB is $25K lol. I was thinking about that and figure if they look at only whats selling - say clapped out cars for example - then its accurate. My car wouldnt be part of that equation because i wont list it or sell it for that neither would other great cars, so its misleading I think.

    I didnt meet Aaron the editor, we spoke by phone and exchanged several emails. I sent pics burned onto a DVD and then a fellow f-chat member Lucas Scarfone took the pics for me as he is the pro and then he sent them to Aaron. I had to go over the article a couple times in rough draft and basically approve it before it went into print. It was a lot of fun and Aaron is a great guy, they sent me 12 free copies too.


    Doesnt matter, hey I didnt know you got a boxer?

    Hi Paul,

    the question might sound strange, but it's not that easy to get FORZA over here in Germany. Just to make sure I chase for the right issue: your car is in the #95 AUGUST 2009 issue, right?

    Regards, Robert

    Aha! On their website they describe #95 as their current issue. So that's why your article is not mentioned in the contents summary.

    I will get the right one, anyway!

    Well, your car looks GREAT...but, what a mess it caused.
    I was making dinner last night and trying to read about your beautiful car. Well, the spaghetti boiled over ..twice!
    Now I have a mess and, when I clean it up...the stove still will not be as clean as your 308!!!!

    You did a great job...hope you enjoy all the well deserved accolades.
