Next month's GRM arrived today - I really enjoyed the article on the At-om.

Thanks Andrew. Maybe I'll get my copy tomorrow.

I made comments on a draft but haven't seen the final article yet.

I got mine too! Incredible job Jon. They even gave a link to your build log which I found a bit shocking.
Noobs click here to see it. :P

So what does that make, three times you and your cars have been featured in a big fancy car mag?

Awesome! :cheers:

Thanks Chet.

The writer was a freelancer from CA. He called me and let me blab. He must have been taping because the whole conversation is in the article. I was surprised by its length.

I'm not surprised he included a link. I try to plug helpful info sources. I feel like a pusher. I want other people to think they can build a car from scratch. Let them also slave away in a garage in the heat and cold to complete one of these. They deserve it.

Just kidding. It's been a very satisfying hobby so far.

Yes, it's three features. There were also another 3 or 4 articles (including Automobile mag's article on the Lotus 7s on 7-7-07 at the Tail of the Dragon) where the Locost 7 was shown in photos and 2005 Challenge results. I guess my 15 minutes of fame is about over.
