Hey guys, i recently saw the cover of an Hot 4's magazine, i'm not sure if it was the new one or not, but it had an article about "importing or maybe buying an fto"... has any one read this article...
I'm asking because if it's good i might buy the mag, since i'm not a huge fan of that mag... better quality reads out there...

are you sure it was an article on importing and buying an FTO? there is a feature on FOULZ's car in the February issue, on the front it says "Import: Mitsu FTO"...its not a buying guide or anything, just a feature of an FTO...

Foulz car is in edition 106, pg 88
In hindsight, he should have put a "for sale" sign on it, probably would sell his car faster that way

yeah, probably would have worked, if they had have let him...
quite silly really, they say theyre the best four-pot mag, all about four cylinders, then they go and feature a beaut V6 like the FTO...

I thought the same thing HellSmurf, until I bought it and saw that they have changed their name. In small letters, less than one-tenth the size of the large font they used for "HOT4s" is the wording "& Performance Cars".
So it is no longer just a 4cl mag.

Ahh, ok. Sorry guys.
Well, maybe i didn't read the cover for long enough...
I think next show that FOULZ enters he should just put a for sale sign up there. He is trying to sell to a very small market. I think it might work, better than doing it the normal ways... with a show car...

Hey Borya, why don't u be a hawker like most people and read the mag in the shop without buying it
Unless it's sealed in plastic

And if it is in plastic just "accidentally" stick your finger thru the plastic and then "accidentally" turn it upside down and it will "accidentally fall out and then you will have to check all the pages to make sure its not damaged...
