i'm getting published

Well, it's been a goal of mine for a while now, to get published. Well thanks to synth19 and his 350Z, it's happening. It's a French modified car magazine that contacted me through Tunerzine, and it looks like it's going to be the cover (and feature article) of the Feb '08 issue. Just wanted to share the news.

Here's their website

Code:

http://www.modify-mag.fr/accueil.html

You can actually click through the current issue, it's right on the front page where it says "E-Mag" - just click "Suiv" to go through the pages. They told me the mag is not available anywhere in the US. But thankfully they will send me a good number of copies. Hey if you (somehow) know a place to get it over here, let me know!

I personally get them from Quebec which is a french province in majority, I guess the demand is high over there.However, I don't get Modify Mag which seems to be the one you're getting published with.I'll try to get some information.

Your pictures are already in the forums!

thanks for the link - an interesting thing, there are a few people in there saying they don't like the location - one says its "terrible" (I'm reading "spot" to mean location). Guess they might prefer it to look a little more "formal" in France.. maybe a cultural thing.. I don't think I've read even one person say anything negative about the location on any US forum..

ps congrats on 1K!!

you had your chance..

actually you have a nicely setup 335, not quite like synth19's 350, but you never know. I think the mag may like to do a layout on it.

they have cars like yours in there.. they do 2 page layouts with one large pic spanning both pages and smaller pics surrounding. I think we could get you one of those

have a look at the current mag, link is on page 1... click "E-Mag" and page through.. on page 35 there is an RS4 Avant that appears to be stock.

we should do some pics in the city.

I was reading again and it looks like you're right.. looks like they say "terrible" like we say "sick" or "bad" or "nasty".... heh
