    Default FOR THOSE WHO KNOW ME.....

    I am only on here to post my possibly last magazine feature (it feels good being retired). This is my 2nd car and third mag feature. I want to start off by saying thanks to IA's own Jaime Robledo for snapping the pics. I had contacted alot of qualified IA photographers but Jaime was the first one to get back with me and the pics came out great. Jaime is really good, first we did a preliminary shoot and then a week later we did the real shoot (intense but fun) especially with the security issues at Discover Mills. My scanner is a little dusty so please forgive that. also i made it big enough so that you could read the article more pics can be found at: http://www.pasmag.com/index.php?opti...651&Itemid=105

    The magazine hit the shelves yesterday and i picked up a couple of copies. In my original shout outs i gave to the mag i included people from IA and some of my family members and friends but the mag did not put any of those names in there. So without further ado i want to thank the following just for being there.

    Thanks: Nitro, Ron V, Patrycja, Madhavi, Sprayglo-Lilburn (not duluth), Armando, Team Elite, Team Allstars (john, gregg, jeff, Trycja, etc...), Ren, Pete, Tom, fellow rx7 owners that i have chatted on here, and to everyone else that i have a positive experience with (i just cant remember everyone's name).

    The car has been sold to a guy in canada. i only bought it to build it up to get into the magazine. i will be checking this post for a week only (til may 30th) to respond to questions or things i may have overlooked and/or acknowledged.

    and no im not changing my signature, im only here to post the mag feature and to say thanks to all those involved. oh, i really dont care if the car is not your style, not your taste thats why this post is "FOR THOSE WHO KNOW ME....."

    Thanks again
    Marcell
