Patrick and Richard are stars!
I picked up a copy of Complete Kit Car on the way home from work tonight and found an article about their Sportster build!

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.

Well done!
You'll be on Top Gear next...
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.

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

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
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.
