I\'m told my RX will be in the next issue of Retrocar, so look out this Jan.  It isn\'t the cover car (think it appears on there tho), but it has a 6 page feature or so they say. :driving

Nice one Don! sounds like your ebastie(car that is) is going down well. It would be a shame to sell after all of your hard work and perseverence. With the low price of FD\'s these days I would think that it would be hard to get a deserved price for your car. It is the type of machine that in my eyes would be worth £5,000 but in the current market..... who knows. Hence the reason for not selling it. Anyone see my logic?

  Anyway, I am not off island until friday week away,(damn ikea trip..grumble, grumble..) so wont be able to see the magazine until then.
  cheers ,michael.

If you are thinking of selling, drop me a mail, a mate of mine is looking for something a little different as a second car and he read the retro article + liked the look of the car. markparmstrong@hotmail.com let me know what you are after £wise

Hey Don, finally got off the rock yesterday for a trip to the big smoke and picked up a copy. The article was great and your car looks awesome! Not too sure about the dodgy lookin dude in front of it though! :)

I\'m still trying to find this mag. Can anyone tell me what common high street stores may stock it?

I\'ve tried in the City (London) and a couple of M4 services today on my way back from Wales but no luck as yet! Really want to get my hands on this issue before it disapears! :yes

Got mine in smiths, was reading it before i read this post, knew it had to be someone on here!! No mention of MRC?? :p mullins, if u want a copy I can post u mine, ended up with 2 (g/f bought me one as well!!!)
Title: Retrocars
Post by: Don Pamponi on February 07, 2006, 09:22:42 PM
I did  mention MRC, unfortunatly they didnt include that part but did put in some idle hearsay that wasnt meant for printing (like that bit about tim refusing to fit power steering - that was a joke!).
