Title: Hurricane in KitCar mag
Post by: Dougget on June 07, 2007, 10:49:01 AM
I don't recall seeing Hurricane in Kit Car.  Just wondering why?  Seems that all of the well known and discussed Cobra replica companies have ads or articles in the mag.  Why not HMS?

Thanks,
Doug

I have seen them in there before so I know that they have been.  I am hoping on having mine in there once I am complete as well.  I have had other cars in magazines before.  Its nice bragging rights lol  ;D

We have had several articles about our kit in Kit Car Builder Magazine and we advertise regularly there (a full page ad inside the front cover). We are working to get a feature article in Kit Car Magazine as well as expanding our advertising there. Maybe Dan will be the first!

I'd be very interested to read the articles you mentioned from Kit Car Builder.  Do you happen to have scans of them available?

Thanks,
Eric

Hey..here's my 2-cents!

I think Hurricane Motorsports should partner with Ryan Cassidy to get his car into one of the magizines..ASAP.  Ryan has all the pictures and has each step detailed so the information is there.  
There are most likely other builds out there that would also make great examples of a classic Hurricanes...but my vote is for Ryan's.

The best to all,  Bill   ;D

Good luck on the sale Ryan.  I didn't think you would sell that work of art.  Are you getting itchy to build another one?

Dan.

Ryan,
I think I speak for the group in that we were all following your auction to see how it did. Unfortunately, looks like they were trying to steal a deal rather than truly bid on the vehicle. Looks like high bid was $25,600 - way too low for the quality of car you offered. Like I said, I think the bandits were out, hoping for a steal.

Out of curiousity, would you mind sharing your reserve amount with the group?  What $ would have made a new owner?

Ryan,
Talked to Brian Smith (editor of Kit Car magazine) at London about your car.  He said he is interested in doing a shoot of your car, however, he does not get to Atlanta very often. Might be worth it to fly him out there - I think your car would be great in the magazine. Keep bugging him and maybe he will do it.
