scottsoulby Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 A really weird thing happened, I was looking through sites about the dc sports exhaust I have when I came upon this http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolong ... _350z.html that is actually my car, ov53ypa!!! Crazy this article must be some years old, I thought I'd post it up as it was just something really strange to see!! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 so you've got the old evo long term test mule Quote
scottsoulby Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 It looks that way!! I just found it really strange that I saw it there, and it does look like my car was the one Evo owned!! Pretty cool, I'm having a look through the differnt articles to see what else they did to it Quote

Pretty cool, I'm having a look through the differnt articles to see what else they did to it Pranged it, blew up the engine and then rolled it on track IIRC.... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 didn't they do a piece on cut and shuts with that car? Quote
scottsoulby Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 Bugger off This is what they did http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolong ... _350z.html apparently it was used for the gran turismo 4 tv advert, that's cool Quote
Stew Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Would be worth an email to them as they have just got a 370Z long termer. They'd maybe like to do something on the 350 too..... Quote
bronzee Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 You should print that off and keep it as a bit of history about your car. Even contact them and see if the writer/long term driver is still at Evo. Quote
Toon Chris Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Bugger off This is what they did http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolong ... _350z.html apparently it was used for the gran turismo 4 tv advert, that's cool ...after a most enjoyable morning exploring the Z's appetite for donuts (considerable) at a practice day for the OPT Drift Club ...I watched the speedo climb from 110 to 140 with real vigour, then slowly edge up to 150 and finally to just over 155 ...as we lapped Millbrook's banked bowl at a true 151mph. No, its been treated like a little kitten Quote

scottsoulby Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 i got a reply from peter tomalin hes said the car is still looking good as it did when he had it etc etc, hes passing it onto a Henry Catchpole whos doing the 370z review Quote
smudga Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Interestingly enough my missus had an Integra Type R which was featured in Evo mag before she bought it from Honda. We contacted them & they sent us the issues it was featured in FOC. Still got the mag but the car has since long been sold. Its exciting stuff really ... hope you get it featured again perhaps Quote
lamby Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 thats cool m8 good to hear about the history like that. well at least you know who had it before you hope you get the mag issues that will be a nice touch Quote
