Re: copy of original 1600 road test...

The article is now up on my site at http://www.turbophile.com/media.html and yes I can certainly vouch for the 'crumple-ness' of the 1600 shell!   Thanks Cameron, the new shell is coming along well, we got the motor in last week (images - http://www.turbophile.com/our_cars/charlotte_1600/update_pages/130702.html) and hoping to get the wiring completed this week. It should hopefully be ready for the long trip down to the Dat Nats in October (fingers crossed!). :)   From: GREENBURY, Andrew Robert Subject: Re: copy of original 1600 road test...

I found it very interesting reading - a reflection on how people's expectations have changed. * "easily the fastest and most accelerative car in its class" * "the whole shift is so good that it is as much as anything which makes driving the 1600 a pleasure" * "Nissan's medium-sized sedan" * "isolation of road noise has been closely considered" * "body designed to crumple on impact" (anybody whos been in an accident can certainly vouch for this bit :) And my favorite bit from the ad - "Super Sonic Style". Wouldnt be too out of place even in a modern day japanese mag :) Andrew On Fri, 12 Jul 2002, Charlotte wrote: > Hey Andrew I can host them on my site too, they'll be under the media > section of Turbophile when I get around to uploading them. > > The article was great reading by the way!! :) > > - Charlotte. > > > Hi List, > > A friend sent me a copy of the 1600 road test in Motor magazine > from March '68 and the print ad when it was released. > > For those who are interested, Ive temporarily put it at: > > http://opax.swin.edu.au/~185404/motor_mag_68/ > > Andrew > (ps let us know if anyone wants to host it as I cant leave it here for > too long...) > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
