I think Andrew was happy-a little hard to tell. As Paul once said " If I understood what you where talking about I'd comment on it!"
He was certainly a character and good for a laugh and I think it all went well.
Oh and Paul-the Suntor man wasn't on his own....... :roll:
Or did you mean just for that particular photo???
Otherwise I agree with your character breakdown-and very polity put Paul.

I stand corrected! But every time I saw him he was!! But that was when the photos were being done 8)
I just liked the way he ignored what the Photographer told him to do
A good day apart from the temperature which slowly got to me in the end, but thanks for the Marina heater we thawed out on the way back

You aren't the only one, in the run up to the photo-shoot, Andrew said that he would be quoting me, but I don't know what about exactly as we talked about all sorts of stuff.
Fingers crossed.

Cool 8)
Easy to spot a Blaze and Citron Marina on the cover so I should not miss it
Andrew was missing some info on a 440 Van when he rang me a month ago. The only 2 people I knew who could help with info were Frank or Peter woods!
I hope he got what he needed.

Not at all, over the years various owners have got their cars into the mags. I for one was very proud that I got a small picture of mine at the NEC show recently.
When you show the car in future you'll be able to leave a copy of the mag on the dashboard so the punters can see it.

You're not sad at all,
When my TC was in Classics Monthly two years ago, I couldn't wait to get hold of a copy. In fact, I now have a copy at home and a copy I keep in the car! Andrew Roberts is a real character and was complimentary about my car, so it should be a good feature. I got the impression he has a soft spot for BL products!
I will be buying a copy on Wednesday.
You all should receive a free complimentary copy, as I did, that is why I have two copies of my car feature.

Not sure they know my address or name as I did not tell him, so if no ones else mentioned it then I doubt I will get a free copy then! :?
He knows my telephone number which I was contacted by 2 days before the shoot!
