Yeah, remember I asked you in another post about your car in EuroTuner? There are some nice shots of your car and good story behind it.

Congrat!

I'll have to check that out - I gave up on Euro Tuner because they seemed not to realize that there are other car-companies in Europe besides Audi, BMW, and Volkswagon.

They used to cover a lot of BMW and MB modded cars. New editor (about a year old) seems to like VWs and Audis more.

We won their Grand Prix in 2003 with E46 M3 and came in third with my C32 in 2004. This year it was only VW and Audi invited to participate.

that is because not enough MB readers are behind them. =(

yah I bought a copy yesterday, and let me say that your car is hot. its to bad that eurotuner only focus on VW and Audi, they sould call the magazine eurotrash! its funny how they mod a VW or audi and spend $10000 and just get 400hp. I say MB & BMW still rocks over VW and Audi...

They must have lost some many subscribers over the years for not featuring MB's. If they would just feature MB's they would probably raise their subscriber base by at least 20%.

BTW -- I sent EuroTuner the specs, details, and photos of my car and this was the reply I got from their editor.

---
I have forwarded it to Les Bidrawn at European Car Mag since it's more
suited to them.

Thanks for your interest.

Jerry, who did you talk to and how can I follow in your footsteps? Can you please PM the details? Thanks my friend.

All large circulation media like magazines, newspapers, TV, radio, etc. exist to sell advertising. The content of that media is therefore generally determined by what the marketing dept perceives as being interesting to their target audience. VW's and Audi's are big sellers in Europe right now...got it figured out now?

Les is cool and that magazine a 100X better than Euro Tuner.
I was on the cover of Max Power back in 2000.
Then they changed the name of the book to Euro Tuner.
Silvas car is more of a Euro Tuner car.
Dragons car is more of a performance car. So I can see why they would pass it to EC.

C32
thanks guys for the comments.

the reason why eurotuner doesn't feature MB is cuz they dont get enough MB modders. the last time they had a MB on cover it didn't sell too well. so thats why that green VW is on the cover instead of me. =(

hey dragon, i will contact you with their info once i get back in town. =)

My C240 was in Euro Tuner (02). The car did not look that great though.They wanted me to use some parts from their advertisers that I did not like.

Here is pre-TFATF and this was the first Civic ever in the real MAX POWER (uk)
1998 (keep the ricer comments low, this was before the term was used loosly, back in 98 this was the ****, I was in 3 different wings west ads to and the car did SEMA and was in Super Street too. HKS Turbo, 80 shot Nitrous. 12 seconds all day. They were used for **** Star feature cars)
