At a guess 2 Porsche and 3 M's (z3mc, CSL and gotta be an E30 ;-)

Look forward to reading mine, hopefully postie will deliver today then if it's out.

Have you read the story on Guy Martin, bought a Vantage V12 but started out in a CSL - another thumbs up for it. Seems a decent guy too.

Not related to the Sunday Times article by any chance? If so then it is one each.

Ah-ha! I knew the plate seemed familiar. How was the day, did you let them drive her? There is some fuss on PH at the moment about Malton allowing Journalists drive a coupe of cars that they had on SOR and a blue 993 which was damaged (front end driving damage) by Parr whilst it was in for a service. Slightly different I know, but it makes you think about letting others drive your car.

Looks excellent, always good to see a CSL in mag articles. Good 'ammo' to beat GT3 owners with!

Not a bad day, an early start required to get down to Goodwod for 9am !
Lots of standing around, but some interesting cars to look at and friendly owners to chat with.
The Evo chaps opened up a tab for food and drink at the Goodwood cafe, so we didn't go hungry !

The weather held out until early afternoon, then it rained and rained and rained . . . .

Evo insured the cars as they drove them on the road (more often than not accompanied by their respective owners) I got to drive in formation around Goodwood, and also got to take eight or so passes at one corner for a panning shot of the car cornering (just as the rain started) :thumbs:

Henry Catchpole took my car for a ten minute drive along some of the roads surrounding Goodwood. His driving was incredibly smooth (and quick too) He seemed a genuinely good bloke.

The two photographers were excellent and though under pressure to get good photos retained their sense of humour.

I offered to write an "owners view" for the feature which Roger Green agreed would be a good idea. I Emailed it to him a couple of days after the photoshoot but heard nothing back from him. The courtesy of a response would have been appreciated :smt083

The car's been featured in three mag photoshoots now :thumbs:

Finally got my evo delivered, nice article for the collection!

Did evo send you any hi-res pics for your troubles? I like the one of it in the Goodwood pit lane..

I got mine at the Airport few day ago. Without sounding too "Booee" not overly impressed with the "Special.Need." article presentation and there's nothing in the CSL text of any great value (to us on here anyway) The cover shot shows how NOT to "Photoshop" :hahaha: just look at all the fake shadows and smudged pebbles in & around all the cars then go to DPS 064-065 and see where that cover shot was actually done (same shot). Apart from all that, it's OK :whistle:
