If anyone wants any other info. just let me know.

Yeah, I know most of you old pros have probably seen this article already, but it was interesting to me!

[John Walko]

I would love to see the article.

[JONKATHY]

I've received several requests for the article today and I'm happy to oblige.
If someone has the ability to scan it and put it on the web, I can fax it Thursday.
Let me know.

I have the article... I will scan it tonight and post it in PDF format. It is pretty cool to read.

Just saw this post for the first time. Any chance of still getting a copy of this article?

[JONKATHY]

I've got the article right here in my office. I can fax it to anyone but am unable to scan/email it.

Just let me know.

[Charles Warner]

I have a copy of a May 2001 Wheels comparison between a Porsche Turbo, Ford V8 Supercar and FFord.

I can fax a copy if anyone wants one.

[B Burke]

I'd enjoy seeing copies of both articles, if possible. The FAX number is 480-802-7656, and thanks.

[ThinkFast]

What's the chance of these faxed images being posted here?

[EffTooKay]

Please fax copies of both articles to Jim Dopirak at 519-944-9260. Thanks

[JONKATHY]

Doug has informed me that he'll be posting the DB-1 article here shortly.

I had some technical difficulties with the scanner last night. I will be working on this tonight, and should have it posted before you go to sleep, if I am lucky.

Took longer than I had expected but here it is...

This is a 6+ meg file, and is a PDF, so you will need Adobe Acrobat to read/print it out. It is 150 dpi so it should print ok.

Thanks Doug, no problems printing. Have not read it yet, saving that for my 8 AM meeting.

$21,000 was a LOT more money in 1984, than it is now.

[EffTooKay]

Hawke, received your fax. Thanks

[JONKATHY]

Any chance someone could send Doug the other article mentioned above so we could all view it online too?

[Charles Warner]

I have just scanned it and emailed it to Doug.

This is 2.6 megs... it was as small as I could get the file.
