Just got my April edition of Roundel and there's Jason's car on page 48. Well, its on a picture of the Marc Cranswick book BMW 5 Series. Congrats! Looks great.

Wow!

I'm not sure if this is a good thing having my infamous beast all over the place!

First people are stealing pictures that I took and now this.

Am I doomed? :p

I just hope that all this exposure doesn't come back to haunt me one of these days.

Jason,

Sell your car and get a different color.

Just kidding.

Please post a scan of the photo from Roundel. I don't get it anymore.
Thanks.

)Jason,

Did you see this issue Roundell? They have an article on Marc's book, gave it a big rip on mainly 2 issues:

(1) Too much emphesis on the U.S. market (Marc is British).

(2) Bad-quality photos and inauthantic (is there such a word?

) descripions of cars.

Purportedly blamed it mostly on some low-rez digital photos with lousy lighting that Mark got from 'some Picture Extraordinare', or 'some lighting guru', or 'something like that'.

I posted this on another thread BEFORE I saw this thread, which is a more appropriate place for this post, so I trans-posted (is there such a word?

) it.

Hey, 2 posts for the price of one. Boy I love this board.

Enjoy.

I did see the issue. I think that they were talking about most of the other images. There were some images that weren't clear enough for print being a bit too digitized. Mine were fine I think though.
