Fast fours magazine RX 8 review

While at Wakefield I was approached by a photographer who was taking shots for an upcomming issue of the Fast fours mag.

I got a call last night from a represantative of the mag asking for more information on my car.

According to him the magazine is running a 5 page special on the RX 8 and it is due in 5 weeks

So keep a look out for it. I understand a few others at Wakefield where approached as well.

Yes, there have been other follow-up calls as well. I guess it will be the Jan '06 edition?

They wanted a pic of me standing by my 8, but I refused. The women of Australia don't need that "I want him, but I can't have him" kind of frustration.

After seeing your legs in the shot on the couch with your beer and trophy, I would imagine them wanting you to be the cover girl draped over your car wearing nothing but your stig helmet

I would not have made it had it not been washed . The effort paid off.

In its early days, the mag was called Fast four and rotarys. Read the fine prints of the fast four mag now and you can still see the word "rotary" in there.

and because there werent enough decent ratoray cars to be fveatured, so they changed to fast fours only..... it saves the spaces and inks too
if they send the pix and wordings to the printer, it shoud be out is about 4/5 weeks time..... the "other" magazine will take upto 3 months to get printed
