Our resident star writer, Phil James aka BossCerbera has finally got his journals up to the point where he can introduce his pride and joy in all its glory: www.auto-journals.com

Enjoy, and if it's your first visit to A-J, take a look at Phil's other journals.

(Yes DJC, we will be putting up the second part of your intro shortly, sorry about the delay; we are being swamped with new entries! )

Hehe, kewl, I always enjoy reading Phil's stuff.

Am redoing my 2nd lot of stuff, have covered 3000 miles in 5 weeks in the 'Gris, up and down the country and with a brief foray into TV, so am writing it up as 2 entries for you.

Absolutely! We are trying to provide a platform for budding car photographers as well as writers.

Well it was a tongue in cheek comment mostly, but seeing as we all like to have our ego's massaged I might just drop you a mail .

Out of interest David, what is the policy on the same cars being covered, I am a fellow Cerb driver like Phil. Mine's a lowly 4.2 - do you think you have the Cerbera already covered by Phil's 4.5 and now the Boss or would you be interested in more? If so I might put something together.

Absolutely; the more the merrier! As you can see we have 2 E30 M3s, 2 VXT220s etc.

In fact the idea is that over time Auto-Journals will develop to become a genuinely useful resource for peeps trying to work out the "real story" about running a particular car; either just for curiosity or because they are thinking of buying an example.

That can only really be done if we end up with multiple journals running of the same model so that readers can interpret an "average" picture of the long term ownership reality.

I will, but not on top of my last one

Phil's fiver Cerb is His FB5K report will be great I'm sure . . . But since we're a year behind it'll be end of this year before we wil see pics of the Boss blasting on 'God's own driving road' . . . and the anecdotes to match.

Any chance on some soundbites David?

Knowing Phil, I suspect he was your ride David, I know I was from 2 cars back hooning across London in the early hours. Be very interesting to see you doing a write up on there for your beastie... any chance

Cheers TC, what a fantastic hoon that was across London. I had no idea what to expect when I turned up but that's it I'm hooked I can't wait for the Eurohoon in September now I would be very happy to do a write up, maybe about my experience to date - deciding about the car (which took a while,)watching it being built at the factory, selecting the spec and the adventures I have had since and the reactions from people. I must admit that I'm not that technical on the engineering side of life but what I do know is it's a fantastic car, I still can't believe I actually own it and I enjoy sharing it with everyone. What do you think Godzilla? Sounds like you might be a bit swamped with offerings but let me know if you think it would be of interest.

Hi David, (there are far too many Davids on this thread! ) of course we'd love to feature a journal on your Mosler! Was it you that brought it to the Fairmile pub in Cobham last year? We met briefly then if it was you.
We do have a lot of entries coming in, but that's a nice problem to have and we intend to make serious progress on our backlog over the next few weeks.

Please either email me at david@auto-journals.com or apply via the site at www.auto-journals.com/s2/content/become_a_writer.html and I'll send you the guidelines to help you get started.

cheers, David Yu
