i knew i'd be happy going to borders tomorrow. i haven't bought a good (ie english) mag in like 4 months. I feel like going on a $50 mag spending spree

oops.....sorry, went off track there...


thanks

I know there is no discussion about colors and tastes but this interior ...

[McLaren Mike]

Have to agree with you there

it looks really good up close imo. It suits it. Btw, it wasn't at borders. 4 mags and $32 later...f-ing rediculous.

Thanks for the heads up, I usually dont go to book stores but I will definitely get this issue pronto!!!

jkbon, i have to agree with you there, i didn't like that blueish either, not in real life as well, for those who don't know, this is the T&C car..

This link is old, but in case anyone forgot or just never saw it, there are more pics of this F1 taken on the street in London at this link:

I'll register my displeasure with the blue interior as well. It's probably still better than the descriptions we have heard of the interior in Rowan's own F1 though.

I recall hearing something similar from another source as well.

Picked up my copy of Evo. A good artical. The blue is horrid though. So is this car #49?

Oh man, I am unhappy. I also went to borders, but they have the May issue, not June. Apparently they are "very strict" in regards to prematurely putting up issues for the upcoming month. I guess I'll have to wait till June.

My guess is that this copy of EVO won't be on US magazine racks for a few more weeks. I have a friend with subscriptions to EVO, CAR and Autocar at his work and they generally run a few weeks behind getting their's as well.

As for the chassis number - I don't recall if we had any suspicions before, but I'm certain one has yet to be confirmed for this F1 so far.

I have it down that this car, 'N884 PWV' is #49 in Mercedes Brilliant Silver, is or was for sale at T&C and the owner as reported in a different article is Juan Barazi.
