evo #63 - evo Car Of The Year 2003 (Complete: 14 MB)
 

Ok, here we are.. this year they changed the concept a little bit. The eCOTY is splitted in two parts: the first one is to test "affordable" thrills: cars under the 30'000 GBP mark... 3 days with them on Scottish roads and then the 3 best ones will be pinned against the "greatest cars of the year" w/o price limit ;), in Italy :)

So far I read only part 1 since it's a pretty long article and only part 1 is 20 pages and 6.44 MB ;)
So enjoy the reading and part 2 will follow tomorrow :)

PLEASE, AS ALWAYS, SINCE THE PICS ARE HOSTED ON A SITE OF MINE, DO NOT POST THE URLS USED HERE OUTSIDE JW. OF COURSE YOU CAN HOST THE SCANS YOURSELF AND POST WHERE YOU PLEASE, BUT NOT MY LINKS ;) THANKS

And a cute wallpaper here (first read the article maybe ;)): http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost...ywallpaper.jpg

wow...Thx TT, they are as great as the videos u contributed =) :D

Wow, THANKYOU TT! That Spec C WRX looks amazing, that's the first I've really read about it, don't hear about it much in America. I really want the Sabaru, and I can't believe how fast it is, and fun to drive.

Excellent! :D

WoW
Amazing test.
I'm glad that result was a bit different from TG & CAR.

thanks a lot TT! :D
Subaru Impreza Spec C is such an amazing car
looking forward to Part 2 of this article~

Awesome...Thanks TT :D
we don't have Evo magazine in Vancouver :(

Check your local chapters book store, I can get em here in Ottawa.

Incredible!thanks a lot

The first post was edited and now all the 44 pages are up!

I am so in love with that silver Gallardo!!!! *drool* I have this on paper and it was hard to keep the pages dry...

UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!
Porsche 3 years in a row :)

Not in a row ;)

That speaks volumes about PORSCHE.

Holy Crap, you're crazy, you know that :P Scanning such an article must take you a whole shitload of time!!! But I'm glad you're crazy because I love these articles!

so thx a lot TT!!!!

I hope all the pics are still working.. since somebody smart enough to think he can post my links somewhere else w/o me noticing, I had to edit the names of the pics and thus the topic.. I think everything is ok.. let me know if a link is broken, I don't have time to let them all load now ;)

Useless to say that if somebody will post again the pics outisde JW, I'll remove them for good...

thanx TT, got back from my hollidays and now back with the good stuff!

Scanning all of that has taken time ... and it is more than worth it. As usual, the text is a pleasure to read and the photographs are simply superb. and the results... well the results are the results. It must have been so cool to drive all of those cars... just for the sake of automotive journalism. Thanks TT!

The links are dead - anyone have a copy please? I'd be very grateful.

WTF, of course they are dead, because they are veryyyyyy old :roll:

I think now we are at evo 83/84...

the previous post was over a year and a half old...would that be a new dead-topic record? :roll:

Whats age got to do with wanting to reread an article!?

I'll assume you two can't help then? :roll:

I'll assume that nobody will help you :roll:

well its kind of annoying to see people bumping up dead topics just t omake a comment...with you things are slightly different, u actually have a sort of valid reason for posting here...but im sorry no i cant help you, i had the article copied to my computer but i removed it when i had a clean-up...maybe u could PM TT and ask him in a really sweet voice if he's still got the scans, and if he could send them to you...or see if issue #63 is still available in the evo archive and order it...

I had the mag back in the day myself, but don't keep them all forever. I think the GT3 RS won though, and I'm now trying to pull together all the articles on the RS that I can so this seemed a good place to try.

I'll try an PM TT - thanks.
