Re: Look familiar?
I wonder which popular monthly motoring magazine he photocopied there...
Any news on how his pink bmw has gone down at the TG office?

Re: Look familiar?
Looks extremely familiar, the write up is pretty well boll*cks though, it's a 750 and one of more than 80 still on the roads in addition to the 50 or so 700s and maybe 18 600s, many of which I've also owned at some point.I'm having me a screen dump of that.
Now, how does one go about the business of claiming royalties?

Re: Look familiar?
The worst of it is that I sent "after" pics of the car to PC back in March '07 as well as that "before" one, and getting gelcoat to shine properly takes flamin' weeks, I know, 'cos when I used it daily, it looked more like this:
(Well it did until someone washed all the shine off after I sold the poor thing).
Top Gear shot now added to my digital photo frame 'cos I'm sad that way.

Re: Look familiar?
Can't believe some of those stats though,only 12 Porsche 914s on the road ?
And just 8 Lada Rivas ?

Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.
Re: Look familiar?
The image shows a Riva right enough, but the statistic (probably also short of the mark) relates to the earlier Lada 1500, come on Matt, get them right.
Now that's a Lada 1500, even if it was found under "FSO" on Google. TG's art people must have labelled that one too.

Re: Look familiar?
Ah well,at least he's introducing some classics into TG magazine,which may broaden the appeal and possibly get more folk into the hobby.
Not a bad thing

Re: Look familiar?
Indeed not. Who else, I wonder, remembers the Teal Blue, 1972 Marina Coupé that TG mag gave away as a competition prize a few years ago after they'd saved it from a scrapyard, got it MOT'd and used it as a staff car for a few weeks?
Seriously, they did all of that and raved about the condition and general appeal of the Marina. How times change, eh?
