Germany want me

[Al Wilson]

I got a telephone call earlier this week from the guy who wrote up my feature in TVX saying a magazine from Germany wanted to feature my car! He had told them about it while doing freelance work and they became interested. I personally did not think the German scene was big wheels and 'bodyart' (I will not call it a kit as arguments will start lol!) I am having it photographed on Wednesday for Opel Tuning.

Anyway, just thought I'd say. I'll post up the magazine whens its published.

Sorry for lateness in replies.

Had shoot on Friday just gone, nice weather and location (near me thank god) so photos should be good. The guys sending me a copy of them so I'll see then.

Slight mishap though....

What with positioning the car and moving it around, opening and closing doors etc for the different angles I left the bonnet pins off! I managed to survive driving around for a day before I went on a faster main road on Saturday afternoon and the wind took it up.

Result - Cracked and bent carbon bonnet, two completely bent hinges, bent and rippled scuttle, bent and broken single wiper and scratched paintwork.
No broken widescreen (the single wiper saved it) so everyone's a winner!

[Al Wilson]

^^^ lol

I can be repaired but it just won't look as pretty. I can't afford/have the time to get another one made at the moment so I may have to result to a 'commoners' metal bonnet with.... er... paint on it! lol

[epo]

gutted to hear that al

[Al Wilson]

Gives me an excuse to do something else.....
