FTO in Motor Magazine

GB · Post by GB » Mon Nov 10, 2003 12:45 pm

Howdy all,

For those interested the December issues of Motor Magazine, due out sometime this week, will have a write up on the FTO. Should be an intersting read!

Is it going to be in the Past Blast section or whatever it's called these days in the back pages of Motor?

Nice excuse to buy a mag!

Yep,

It'll be in the blast from the past section.
It will be interesting to see what they have to say about it 'cause in the past they have been a little critical of the import market.

Yeah, I would've thought an article for an FTO would appear in the sister mag Speed.

Excellent...thanks for the scoop.

Yes-This is my car (before modifications) in the mag. Not too bad a write up.

Cheers

Well at last some recognition from a "local cars" mag

I read it on the train this morning... Yes its in the PastBlast at the back, I noticed a few mistakes and the writer seemed to struggle to fill the 3 pages... all in all a good introductory article for those unfamiliar with FTO (too bad they couldn't find a manual example). But it would be really good to see a proper write-up in a mag like "SPEED" a 3-way comparo with local rivals like Integra Type-R and Celica ZR would be even better... although there was one in Hot Imports (DC2 vs GPX) quite a while ago

So Tania did they send you a free copy?

Congrats Teania on getting your car in the mag, nice clean example of an FTO. Love the front on pic on the 3rd page

i got dizzy just reading that... hahaha

they tought your car was a 5 speed tip!

did they at least wash and polish it for ya??

Teania · Post by **Teania** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 5:52 pm

I wish it was a 5 speed tip (actually I really wish it was a manual.... but *sigh* )

Mmnnn - wash and polish, that would be nice.... nah, it didn;t need it, I'd only just recently had it done. GB reckons I treat the car better than him.... (which is probably true!!!

)

I tried to get them to put the web address in as well - but no joy on that one, at least the club did get a small mention

yeh bought the mag and read the article myself... not a bad read, got some really good cred and photos... (also good to put another face to a name, hehehe)

but i think the journo was confusing himself between a GP and a GR, and the power figures were wrong for the GR as well...

...but yeh, good job in the free-plug for the club!

CHEERS!
