Hi all - work has taken a slight slow down, so you now have the pleasure of my company again :D

I know you have all missed me... :lol:

So have i missed anything important? any track events or are we over for this season... I did a day at curborough a couple of weeks ago, gave the gt3's and 996's the run around too... my car is immense, very very happy with the final setup and my skill of course ;)

I think i prefer sprints to track days if I'm honest...

here is my fave pic from the day...

So how you all been keeping?

Matt - the picture's a good one. Now that work has quietened off you should write an article for AT about all the "Mods" to your car. It would make for good reading :thumbup:

hiya matt, after talking to you at last months club night and mentioning boxsey's 964 project on boxa.net i see you were both at curborough :) i think boxseys running report is ace but it scared me off going down the 964 route. writing takes time but if you did put something on here or in AT i'd look forward to reading it, oh, and i don't mean to blow wind up your ar5e but i'm with you on the pink :wink:

Difficult to say how many words. Best thing is to write it up and then see how many there are. If its too long for a one off article Tony might split it across two editions or he will chop it down to fit space available. Make sure you use pics as well. If you decide to have a go and need any help just drop me a line

Paul :D

The secret to getting on the cover is to have some really, really nice photos! Cover shots need to be portrait not landscape, if you know what I mean - and it helps if there's lots of space above the car for the area where the magazine's title goes.

That aside, it would be really, really great if you fancied writing a piece about your car. Quite a few readers have been asking me to feature more powerful, modified, or track-focused cars. I can only do that if somebody who owns one has a go at writing about it!

Feel free to ask for help if you need any - from myself, from Paul as offered above, and if you’re not sure about getting photos yourself, there’s bound to be another member living near you who’s a dab hand with a camera.

For reference, a double-page article tends to be around 800–1,000 words once I’ve left space for big sexy photos. If you end up needing double that, or even more, there’s always the option of splitting it across more than one issue and making it a wee series.

No, that’s ‘a wee bit serious’.
