Tom, fantastic article. The one thing they missed is how much you are giving back to the Vintage Ferrari owner.

Tom,

Outstanding article. I'm very glad to see you get recognition for a job well done. I have to agree with 8339 that there could have/should have been more about the impact of your website in the vintage Ferrari world.

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone!

It's nice to be recognized how much this site helps us Vintage Ferrari Owners, but I always say that this site would not be anywhere if not for the support and participation of all of you. I thank you all for that as well.

O.K., now that I have my car out there for the world to see in the Forza article, I see a bunch of issues with my car. These are nit pick things, but lets have some fun and see if you can spot the problems.

I'll give you the first one. On the cover shot, the grille rubber is coming off the bottom of the grille. This has since been fixed.

Congratulations on the recognition and a fine article about your adventure! It is long overdue. Maybe this will inspire others to do more of the work themselves.

I finally got my copy last night. Good job Tom! I will look at it again over the weekend for outstanding issues on the car. That will give you something to do before the fall event.

Great article - one of the few that I've enjoyed reading since getting Forza. I wish it had been longer.

Finally got the magazine. In my opinion, it is one of the better iswsues of Forza!

Michael,

Besides the downgrade from a 330GT to a 330GTC, what did you think of the article?

From my perspective, though very complementary, the author's comments on performance of the two cars were very similar to every other write-up I have read comparing the two models. From your previous commentary I was expecting stronger praise of your car's performance. I is also was surprised that there was no comment made regarding the C4's front bumper - I guess the author wasn't an expert and it just looks right in body color!

Regards,

I tried to buy it at my local B and N and it was sold out!

I'll have to try borders.

Thank you, Art and Yale. I just received my issue yesterday!

What a great article, Tom. It is nice to see you get some well
deserved recognition for your efforts and contributions. Good for
you!

The August 2008 Forza issue is the tomyang.net tribute.
As a force to be reckoned with, we own this one.

Thanks everyone! And congratulations to everyone else who was published as well!

Hopefully with this issue, we'll collect some more Vintage Ferrari fans that will check out the website. I've already gotten some e-mails from owners I've never met before.
