Awesome thanks :) Need to go get a copy ourselves. The chap is coming to see it tomorrow for the second part of the write up :)

EDIT, awesome 5 pages - didn't think there would be that much :D

Didn't they send you a free copy!!

Hopefully, the'll take some nice professional shots.

You might want to mention a couple of small corrections. The article says your donor was a BMW318 (although it's clear later in the text that it was an e30 325i) and that you used the donor's brake servo.

Yeah its a good article, only a few tiny things not quite right :)

He gave us some free copies today, I did mention the servo :)

Well done!

You'll be on Top Gear next... :madgrin:

Some say he has an extreme liking for the colour blue... And that he likes getting mucky in the garage. All we know is he's called the St... Patrick.

:lol:

Last month's issue was certainly a good issue for Marlin; the Sportster build article, along with the Mallory article with Ken, me, and others looking slightly jaded - plenty of (free) positive publicity!

It must be very pleasing to see your car being written about - it's a good article.

Yup, got my copy tonight on the way home.
Great article and some nice pictures. Terry must be pleased with all the free publicity.
I bet your Mum is quite proud as well!!
Also, nice to see Madabout getting listed in the credits :smile:

I was feeling is a good mood when I gave the ratings... ;) Did you notice the add for specialised Paintwork on the page after the article - one of the shots the mag took.

Yeah it's great to see, would like to put scans up on the website but i think I'd upset the publisher.

Yes, I had a snigger at the ratings and no mention of the w*****nes :laugh:

And yes, I saw the advert. Did you get a fee or maybe commision on each paint job?

I think Terry should donate you a free hood for the positive advertising(hint, hint).
It would be a great publicity stunt after your comments about no rain gear.
