And just a selection of the many photos taken that day for the magazine feature, not all photos used in the magazine but many really good once in there ....

Just scanned the 6 pages and created a lower resolution PDF ... some interesting reading and angles from the journalists research as well as some amuzing comments 
They also offer a on-line digital edition ... Zinio Digital Magazines
You can "trial it" for free ... limited "zooms" unless you pay and buy it.

You mean it wasn't raining there? Verry Niceee Also the embrodery on the headrest did you have that done? Does the hood pad emblem hold up well? I have llooked at them but just wondered how they would do with the heat in the engine compartment?
Thanks,

We were lyucky with the weather, day before it was pooring down
The headrests I had done years ago by carmotorsports.com ... looks pretty good on there. It's a spare set of headrests so can easily swap back the original ones if I like too.
The hood pad holds up well but depends on how "clean" your engine is and how much oil leakage you might have ... I only drive my car maybe 2000 miles or so per year so if yours a daily driver I would not recommend one. You can clean them off fairly easily.
Only issue I have with it is that the turbo burnet a small hole in it due to excess heat (and possibly contact as it happened after new engine mounts where used and the engine sits maybe 0.5 - 1 inch higher) so need to find a way sorting it out ...

I'm up there already and no nothing I've smoked this time
I worked hard to get the article done and took some time but in the end well worth it, also just for the profesional photos I got it was worth it ... they guy is a professional motorsport photagrapher working for a number of magazines and do a lot of F1 and other motorsport covarage.
So TTA 1078 now been featured in all UK based American Car magazines, all 2 of them :cool1:

Jan,
Thanks for the update on the headrest it does look nice. I might have to check with car motorsports. I am sure they don't do it anymore but they do have the hood pads.
You don't have to worry about mine being a daily driver and damaging the padding in fact the original still looks good not ragged or torn. It has only 16,000 actual miles now since 1989. Spends more time in storage than driven but i keep it up and do drive it in nice weather in the spring, summer, & fall some but not much.
Thanks for the info on the hood pad I may check into that but the only reason I would change it is for looks. I think those look good.
Thanks,

Better PDF version and also included the front cover and the content page/s ... should print nicely as well.
