Sept. '08 Classic Motorsports Mag - Z content

[bigoak]

Has anyone found the Sept. issue on the Magazine Racks at retail outlets yet? Every magazine stand here is still selling the July issue. Of course no one that works at these places has any idea of when to expect anything to arrive.

I've tried Boarders/Barns as well as the usual Drugstore/Grocery store racks...

thanks,

Clearwater...oh...wait...

Hi Chris / bigoak

Thanks guys, I'm glad to hear you like the article. I feel really good that more people will be able to see it and perhaps learn a bit more about BRE and DATSUN's Off-Road efforts in the late 60's and early 70's. They didn't get too much coverage in the period Sports Car Magazines, although covered in the Off-Road media.

Since then Mr. Brock found another picture from the 70's - this one in color.

Originally, BRE didn't have the front parking lights/turn signals installed - but I had to put them back in to get the car road legal and licensed.

We got to see what was more or less the final draft ahead of publication. Mr. Brock and I reviewed it with the author, to assure that everything was as accurate as possible. I was impressed with the story line and writing, as much as the authors efforts to get everything straight. Sometimes stories get totally screwed up along the way....

FWIW,

Carl B.

Yes, it was nice to see a Z article that didn't reference the integral role a german designer played in the in the development of the car...
