They chose 9 of their favourite 'specials' for a specials feature. Anyone guess how many porsche compared to how many M powers?

Is the owner of 379 CYE on here, I'm sure I have seem the plate before?

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.

I won't say exactly but nope and....... nope!

Just to help, clearly there will be a CSL in there....

**shimmy** · 02-01-2010, 04:10 PM

1x M
3x Pork

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.

He is a great guy (sic), spoken to him a couple of times.

2x M power, Nil x pork!

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

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)

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

The car's been featured in three mag photoshoots now
