914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT - My Type-3 got featured on HMA

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Aug 13 2015, 07:24 PM

A couple weeks ago Josh and I took Friday off and headed down to Turn 10 Studios in Redmond, WA, to tour their facilities. These are the guys that make the Forza racing games for X-Box. We were there to meet with John S. who is the editor of their Heavy Metal Affliction column. After seeing their facility and talking about all the mods to the car, we headed to Marymore Park so John could take some photos of the car. It was a really fun experience and John was really great to work with. He is a TOTAL car guy who lives and breathes cars. Plus he's a VW guy who currently owns both a Beetle and a Porsche 911. He also recently sold his type-3 Squareback.

Anyway, here's the article he just finished about the Squarsche. I think he absolutely nailed the spirit of the build with my car. We are grateful and completely humbled by the whole experience. . .

awesome recognition

That's some nice recognition Nate...very well deserved. Too bad you couldn't take the Squarsche out on the velodrome during the photoshoot. That would have been a hoot!

Actually saw it on the forza site first and came here to make sure you got credit, Nate. It was fun to see a car there that I actually knew!
