Audere est Facere

A couple of months back I got an email from a friend of mine whom I haven't heard from in a couple of years.  Jonathan Wooley, editor of S3 magazine, hit me up after hearing that I had finished my latest swap in my S12 - an RB26DETT.  After exchanging a couple of emails he was committed to putting me into the latest issue of S3 that was to come out within a couple of months.  Come mid-October he gave me a call and we talked on the phone for quite a bit.  It started out with him getting an idea of my build and how best he could write and me sending him information.  It ended with me helping him with random advice and discussing other S12s that may fit his needs for future features.  Giving me the information needed, I uploaded the image files to his hard drive and sent him an email with the information he was looking for.  Interestingly now that I think back, the other cars on the hard drive were the ones that are currently in the latest volume of S3 (vol. 19).  I was indeed a late addition but thankful that he was willing to do add me as a last minute addition on such short notice and with him leaving for Hawaii not a day after he called me.  It was also a couple of days before I left for SoCal to assist Nikolay Konstantinov and his efforts at Formula D: Irwindale.  Great fun that was as well.

The following are scans of feature.  Also included in the magazine are: coverage of Import Alliance, an RB26 E30, a 500hp Civic, and an SR20 Datsun 620.  Well worth the mag.  If interested, I have a few spare copies and can be reached at: il.draconis.li@gmail.com or head over to S3 and pick up a copy there at: Current S3 issue, Vol. 19 (Dec. 2010)
