I don't think the article did it justice. weird mention of loads of crashes. and did they get lost?, no lake gardia on our saturday drive. Still good photos and 3 pages, can't complain.

I didn't think it was too bad a piece to be honest.

They slightly misquoted me, nothing too serious, I guess just making my quotes fit in with the tone of their article.

The 'lots of crashes' bit was a bit disingenuous, but to be honest I feel that the crashes brought more charachter to the meeting, it made it more human, more real.

The one thing that annoyed me was that they did not name check either Furio or Beppe. In the quotes I gave them I made specific mention of the Italian guys on several occasions and mentioned the huge input that they had.

Overall though, like Scott, I feel it is a pretty reasonable article.

Fame at last.

you will see part of the German Way Down team (and all of the Garda 6) in the main pic.

If you look carefully I am in the snow scene....with my green hat !

I agree but I guess in the limited amount of space they need to make it relevant to the UK readers. The Italian club did get almost a mention though.

Does anyone know if any of the Italian car mags did any articles ?

Teee heee! there I am in my yellow tshirt in the middle of the big pic! Ok, there's only a few pixels of yellow - but it's there!

Agree it somehow doesn't capture the magic. They should have had at least 1 photo of the cars in convoy taking in the hairpins....

I thought the article was poor, but hey it was better than nothing I suppose.
Nice to see the Garda 6 in the photo

what the heck are you all on about??? it obvious the camera was clearly focused on the big fat head in the red baseball cap right in the centre of shot....the rest of the picture is superfluous

of all the pictures, in all of Trento, in all the meet...the main picture is... the Garda 6!!!

what are the chances eh???

clearly the snow carpark pic is the main one. I think you might see a few pixels of black behind me...thats Mrs AndyS2000 (aka Maryam).

If anyome wants me to sign their copy...... (I think the fame is going to my head.......)

They should have mentioned the clutch casualties !

Guiness, hope you manage to get a copy of the pic.! good luck.

I have finally heard back from Auto Express regarding purchasing individual copies over the 'phone.

This can be done by 'phoning Dovetail, their fulfilment company, on 0844 844 0026 quoting the issue number 1,062
