Trust me to NOT be able to distinguish the Chinese Newsagent's accent when he says "9th" instead of "19th"

I'm allowed to say that haha.

[jrm]

I think that's probably my real big frustration with HPI to be honest. I read articles about stuff and sometimes it's very much 'huh!? what are they talking about' and then realise it's about something that occured 6-9+ months ago - and it's only now that they're finally through to publishing stuff about it. It really doesn't give the magazine a very up-to-date feel.

Does anyone know if there's any plans to try and improve that? I've been a long-time subscriber of many years, and I love HPI (and Zoom) but yeah - frustrates the hell out of me with the 'lag' in the publishing...

Yeah as Paul said.

There's about a 3-4 month lead time for articles

[NZM.031]

i thought that with articles like the japanese events they were up to date and fairly recent... but feature cars and random articles are just slotted in when they can??

Gold, Terry.... GOLD!

[GTR-N1]

lol I had fun writing my column for that one...

Your current Imprimatur column has a lot of meat in it Kristian - congratulations on a great effort.

One thing bothers me though.

How come you know so much about the Yakuza ?

Still got 10 fingers hehe?

[Bakes]

Bakes, your car looks awesome mate...well done.

Cheers man.

I couldnt be happier with the feature. The pics came out great. That full weekend I spent in my garage scrubbing and cleaning/detailing everything was worth it.

I even look pretty good, LOL.

[PM-R33]

Will have to go get a copy tomorrow, dying to see the feature on your car Bakes

[Swiper the Fox]

Awesome car to work on Bakes.

lol, we lived in Daikokucho when we first arrived in Japan, I later found out the whole suburb was inhabited by Yakuza...

...they also own most of the car auctions, so they turn up to keep an eye on proceedings every few weeks. Not hard to spot

[Astro Bear]

Just picked up a copy of HPI. Where the hell is the IMPUGNATION section? Outrageous!

The annoying thing about these mags is you spend sooo long preparing your car for them to make money selling issues and you they do not even give you a free copy

I had car back in 1994, made 6 different mags and not one free copy

Now Bakes, hurry up and send your GT-c's to me.

Can not wait to get them on my car
