Magazine Article
« on: October 18, 2007, 07:37:08 AM »
After months of waiting I got some preview snaps from the editor of the article that had my car in it. He's sending me out copies now.

What's odd is that they called my car a GT  ::)

It's Auto Tuning World.  They're in Sweden (Close to Stockholm) from what I remembre the editor saying.  Or he may be close to their and the magazine is Polish.

Great looking car!  I'm not sure I'd have the "hood ornament" on it though!  I'd be afraid she'd leave a few dents!  But it looks like she's carefully posed.   However, rather than making the car look better....I think she takes away from the car.  That is one gorgeous automobile.

She was very careful.  I helped her up with no heels and she put them on after she was on the car.   Cars getting repainted this winter anyway but if it had already been re-painted we wouldn't have done that shot. heh

Congrats!
Are you going to get "extra" magazines?
Some of us can't find that mag out here.

Some people consider the Firebirds a GT (Gran Touring) car.

Actually the editor browses FQuick.com for a lot of it's feature cars.  I was featured as the Garage of the Month on Fquick.com and the editor hadn't done a 2nd Gen TA or Camaro yet, and contacted me.
