Default My first ever magazine featured car!

It took me a while but I got there in the end! It probably didnt help that I like my cars standard looking and fast, but most mags like them pretty and eyecatching. This was probably the reason why I got a polite, but definite knock back from every mag I sent pictures of my M3 powered E36 to.

So with that in mind, I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Will of Practical Performance Car for featuring the old girl in this months issue.

its only a small feature, but its a feature none the less. I particularly like the way they made the most of what I gave them and exclusively used the drifting pictures
So yeah, my first ever featured car. Blap!

I had my Hartge Mini Cooper S feaured a few years back. Was in several mags, Autocar, Top Gear, Evo, Car, Auto Express etc. I managed to get some trackdays out of it (Goodwood, Rockingham, Top Gear track) and replacement tyres/brakes etc (as it had a bit of a thrashing from the road testers!)

Found a couple of links to it:

Evo

Auto Express

Custom Car
