Just got my copy of EXCELLENCE! Great write up! Congratulations to everyone that made it happen!!:cool:

Agreed. I probably won't see mine for another couple of days. Maybe the mailman takes it home for a day or so before he delivers it... :D

Gosh, I don't have a look at the boards for a bit and look what I miss! That's a helluva car...subscribed...duh:)

finally!!! It arrived a few minutes ago! Now to find a quiet corner or room to imerse myself in this issue...
Bob

COOL! I got mine today too. Congrats Matteo, Keith, etc. Great article. Seeing the car in person made it all the more special.

Nice to hear descriptions of some very cool roads too. My Grandmother lived in Clatyon, GA for many years when I was younger. It did seem like we stepped back in time every time we visited.

congrats Matteo!

I read the article, very nice! Kudos to you, Zuffenhaus and the other contributors. It didn't mention Peter Dawe, unless I missed that.

Has the eagle landed in the UK so you can do your own first-hand evaluation?

Excellent article, and stunning car. Enjoy it.

Great write up and pictures. (I could always use more detail pics but that's me)

Matteo, if you haven't yet seen the article I think you will like it. Congrats and enjoy that beauty.

I have not seen the article yet.

I spoke to the writer (Bob Chapmann) and he was very very excited abt the car. One of the things he liked the most was the note of the exhaust (and he didn't really push the car past 7,400rpm as the motor was new).

I am still waiting for my copy of the magazine.

I do not know if Bob did write it in the article but I would not have engaged in this project without the Pelican Forum.

Cars like BBII, Tom's, Doug's and Rdane's, Scruffy, Porsche Doc's creations etc all gave me an inspiration. Plus they showed me it could be done.

Then again I was super fortunate to have guys like Keith and Aaron around the corner.

So really thanks everybody for having taken part to the ride and for your suggestions.

The car is not here yet. I do not want to look at the date of the 1st post on the thread....

It will be my Xmas present!

Keith

as soon as the car's here I have my wife (she's studying to become a pro) take pics of every little detail from the list above and I could send you a CD with them.... if you want.

Great car!!!

I will finish reading tonight.

Matteo

The article is sitting on my night stand. I have not has a chance to read it yet but the pics look great.

Congrats on a great car and a great article. Hope you get the chance to enjoy it soon.

I'm dying to see this article! No joy here as of yet.

Congrads to all involved...it is an awesome car!

sorry for the confusion... haven't had time to read the last 3 issues
I just got the november issue, so I guess I'll have to wait about another month

Teo:

Great car and article. I've always loved the IROC. Sorry to be a wise guy, but after reading the article I'm confused. What part of the wreck was reused? It sounds pretty much like build from scratch.

I have to say that it has been so, well, cool to have followed this thread through the interminable twists and turns - and to open the latest Excellence Magazine to see the Mexico Blue beauty in all its glory!

I found myself showing the pictures to other friends and saying "See that? See that? I know that guy!!! ... Well okay, I don't know him, but I sure as h*ll know that car!"

What a trip, what a saga, what a pleasure to watch the story unfold.

Mateo - thank you for the vicarious thrills. You got some serious auto-motivating a-coming! :)

Cheers -

Teo have you a date the car will be landing in the UK yet ?

Not necessary, having seen it in person I know how much more detail there is that just couldn't be put into the magazine. Have a Merry Christmas:D

Now you can get 911 & Porsche World to do another write up!!

Congratulations Matteo!! Wish you many miles of happy driving.
