Reply to "Longchamp, now w/o rust"

Hi, I managed to get my Longchamp in the biggest (=only) classic car magazine in Denmark. I’ve talked to the “journalist” about my Pantera a few times, but he was a lot more interested in the Longchamp, due to its rarity, most readers wouldn’t know what it was.

We spent a few hours together on a sunny day, interior pictures parked in one place, exterior in another place, and then he had me drive back and forth on a country road 15-20 times while he took pictures. In the end, he asked if he could drive it back to my place, and he did with me in the unfamiliar passenger seat. And he liked that. Until he drove it, he had been very nice and polite, and I had told him about the excellent handling. Not sure he believed me. He liked the sound though, a lot. But after he had driven it, he was very impressed with the handling and the steering, tight etc., and smiling a lot. A lot better than he had expected he said… Smiler

The article is pretty good I think. There are AFAIK no factual errors as I proofread it before he printed. His angle is of course the rarity and the Italy/US thing. He was also very interested in the fact that I used it as a daily driver for 18 months some years back, he thinks cars should be driven, even in our climate.

So now a lot more Danes at least know what they’re missing if they don’t have DeTomaso Longchamp

Fame, ain't it a bitch...? Wink Cool
