Hello everyone!

My name is Shawn, a writer for SoloAutoMag, and I figured you guys may enjoy this. We just launched a new issue of the magazine up on our website.

In the newest issue, we feature Taryn Cotos’ Merkur XR4Ti, John Detrick’s “rat” Volvo , we put Gran Turismo 5 through it’s paces and do a heritage article on RUF.

Check us out! You may dig it!

Long time lurker,

Alright, we'll work something out. If you still have my number (I lost your with the new phone), shoot me a text a week or two before the next show (local, you know I'm poor

) you plan on attending.

There was a LOT of work put into it. The guys who founded the site/magazine put endless amounts of time into it; I can't wrap my mind around how much they work.

Oxer · 04-28-2011, 10:38 AM

Not really... Pretty sure that interface is Downloadable...

To be honest, its a shame to see The era of magazines go digital. Just doesnt compare.

We're working on getting some of the unused shots up in "The vault", the gallery section on the site, in the next few days. I'll be sure to post them up here once we do!

Right now it's just available online. We have talked about offering a limited number of prints in the past. If you'd like to read it on a mobile device that doesn't display flash or you'd prefer to print it for yourself, we have the pdf available for download at the bottom of the page.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It means a lot!

I'm digging the look of the magazine. Awesome work; can't wait to see more.

That being said, on the cover, it's expatriate.

Ex-patriot: Somebody who was a patriot (a lover of one's country) but no longer is.

Expatriate: Somebody who moves away from their home country and takes up residence in a new one.

Spatakula · 04-29-2011, 10:15 PM

Noted!

Thank you good sir!
