Please excuse the mistake, the exact issue is the November issue (which came this month) and the title of the article is "That 70's Road Show." I'm not sure where you could get a copy, but i'll try to post it if someone would tell me how! ;D

I have not seen it yet, I'm still looking for that issue in the book store.

I don't think we can post it on the site, we need to let them make their money for supporting our hobby & then after that I will ask.

November issue of Automobile Magazine.

I was going to hook up my scanner and post it in the thread I started (beat ya to the punch BlueGoldPinto Ha ha) in the general forum. I thought about the conflict though and didnt do it. I must say those Pintos are a couple of the shiniest Pintos Ive ever seen.  ;D

Hey Scott,

As soon as I got home from our weekly non-denominational car show tonight, I saw this post. Had to run back out to the local bookstore and pick up a copy! Nice press for the site and our favorite little car. Congratulations!

Yes, I could hardly belive it myself when I saw the article, but there it was," the man" himself with two VERY shiney Pinto's in the background. At first I just read the article, and said, hey that sounds familar, but then I saw the website name and Scott Hamiltons name and thought, Hey, that's the guy that made that website I go to. I would have had no way to get the article on the website anyways, as I don't have a scanner. But I thought it was well woth posting it here, after all, you don't see any chevetts or vega's mentions in the article, do you!!!!?????(HA!) ;D

Nope, no chevetts or Inferior Chevy Inferior Chevy Vega's....

A friend met me in my office this morning with a copy, It's IS cool!

I really hope it brings our hobby 'out of the woods' so to speak and generates more intrest in these cars...

Thanks,
