Well, just got my copy of JP, and overall, it's got good coverage of the event, but whilst I appreciate it's a "Jap car" magazine, the event WASN'T just about Jap cars !!!

I was amazed to see that the Fords, Porsches, Vipers, and infact all non Jap cars had been totally excluded from the feature.

Half the fun about this event, was that we were compeating against the Cossies, and others, and they should certainly been given some space. Especially since there was a GT2, Escort Cossie, and Saphire Cossie in the top dozen cars.

It would also have been good to show that the Jap cars are now giving the Cossies a good run for their money..........

Mark.

One small pic' of my engine bay. As you know, I was keeping a low profile with the mag's.

With hind sight, and LPL, I'd have probably gone for one of their "bijout" (sp) write ups Next time.

Nito, Neil, and Michael have nice little write ups though, with Michael looking happy in his pic', Nito trying to look like he's busy and as for Neil, **** knows what he's got on the top of his head

Mark.

i thought it was a v good feature, but they did make it appear that no non jap cars were there! half the fun was in the jap vs rest!
also now getting people asking for battle of the ballistic vids!

"ten-of-the best" it is folks!

apparently the mag gained loads of feature cars from the event so expect to see many of the jap cars over the next few months.
