Published! RetroCars (UK) October 2006

Hi everyone...

A little bit of self promotion if you don't mind...

My Z's been published! Yeah!

It's on the cover of the October issue of a British mag called RetroCars which I have seen commonly available at the local Barnes&Noble.

I just found out and bought a couple copies. I'll scan and post pics tonight as the mag doesn't have any online coverage...

Now if only I can get the car to feel as good as it looks in the pics....

Congrates Eric! Always nice to receive a little recognition.

Someone beat you to it-there are some nice scans here, although I will be off to Barnes & Noble to get the real thing!

Congratulations, from the look of things, you deserve it.

Ha! I hadn't seen Alan's posting.... sorry guys...

And I didn't find out about the magazine until this past weekend...

Remember those "...Dietrich?" t-shirts I made a while back? The ones that had to do with Stefan Eriksson crashing his Ferrari Enzo on Pacific Coast Hwy 1 near Malibu and the insane story that followed?...

Well on another forum (ferrarichat) I posted that I was going to be going down to the Crystal Cove car show with a box full of t-shirts for all the interested parties. I put a pic of my car so people would know how to recognize me. That led to www.zacharymayne.com emailing me out of the blue asking if I'd be interested in having an article written about the Z.

How could I refuse? He lives in AZ and while we re-scheduled a couple times we did finally meet at the end of July on Rocky Peak which separates the San Fernando valley from Simi valley here in Los Angeles. It was one of those 115deg days we had... Hot hot hot... For the "action" shots (not picture in this article) he had me drive back and forth on the twisty road behind the Rocketdyne facility with the windows rolled up... Needless to say I was sweating like mad by the end of it.

I guess he also submitted a similar story with other pics from the shoot to Grassroots Motorsport - but I haven't seen anything published yet. Fingers crossed on that one too...

Yup, recognition is always nice!
