Hmm, they clearly didn't want a silver one then... shame!

Who does? Just kidding mate

 

[Jerry*]

C'mon mate - everyone knows that silver ones are the fastest!

[AntneeUK]

Ha ha, good one

 

[jonathan_phang]

All the best with it PAS. I'm wondering if they are going to have some form of clean there though, surely if its for an indoor shoot, they would want it looking slick for the lighting. And its a nice black one - kudos!!!

Cant wait to see the results - get pics of the day if you can.

Well the sun us shining on me today, literally, it's perfect car cleaning weather! They did say they'd have some stuff there to give it a spruce up but as I haven't washed it since before Christmas I'd be embarrassed to turn up with it as it is.

As an added bonus, the car was booked in for an interim oil change on Monday at a VAG specialist. They wanted £90 but when I realised I was going to be making a 300 mile round trip tomorrow I thought I'd get it done today at good garage a bit closer. I picked up the oil and filter from Leeds VW for about £30, the garage fitted me in between jobs and then the guy says - "that's just cost you... a copy of the magazine. Bring it in when it's out".

What a top guy! Cheers Martin at Andy's Motor Repairs in Bradford

Right, back to the cleaning...

 

[AntneeUK]

Nice way to make us even more jealous... have fun

 

[ZBOYD]

Have fun Paul, I look forward to seeing the finished article.

[Andrewcupra TDI]

as long as its not false pretense , when you find out they write something like a chavtastic car etc

should be gould tho with a reputable mag ye ask them to get an online version to post up or a PDF version or the likes

 

[speedinsaxo]

EVO have always liked the R so should be a good write up.

 

[EmDee]

Evo say:

+ Cross country pace, practicality and value

- Not as thrilling as some

4 stars

Yes i do know it by heart

Nice one mate, get your car in a magazine and engagment party on the same day! bet you really were a happy bunny yesterday!

I guess the big question then (apart from how sore is your head this morning!) is how did it go?? hope you had a good time and have some good pics to stick on the fridge!

 

[AntneeUK]

Yeah, did you get any photos of your own on the day? You have a forum full of people wanting to know! And let us know when the mag is out so we can see it

 

[flappy]

I look forward to seeing this. The car looks like a great example. Hope the shoot went well!

 

[Three Leons]

Sorry for the delay people - engagement celebrations took priority I'm afraid!

I'm also massively busy today with having taken Thursday and Friday off work. So I'll post full details and pics later, but to prove I was there and to tease you a little, here's one of the pics I took (and this is one of the worst ones - there are some awesome ones and they're not even the final touched up professional efforts ).

 

[jonathan_phang]

OMG - that one just looks so cool, just because of the empty room that its in - car looking nice and shiny mate - Cant wait to see the photos, they sound like they are going to be awesome...

[GlanzaV]

Jealous!

 

[tomb_smith]

...Nice!

 

[AntneeUK]

Looks like something's been edited out of the car? Is that right?

 

[ZBOYD]

Yes, PAS has his business details on his car, just some small contact info decals on the rear doors.

EVO will paint this out. I presume they will do a better job than this preview image.

If not give us a call EVO
