Got the latest Ferrari publication yesterday , the qtrly one they send out. Not very impressive knowledge really, there is an article with a chap in America driving a silver TDF F12, and his wife is seen in 3 pics driving a 458 speciale, in each pic it states 'mrs blah blah drives/gets into /leads the way in her 488 pista'....bid odd for what you would of thought was a well proof read article!..

Yes, how hard can it be to check something before you present it to the public? confused

tbh, i'm surprised and disappointed that you didn't pick up of the use of "of" to mean "have"

in fairness posting - often from a phone - on a car forum is slightly different to an official publication. I just checked, the word is actually proofreading - did not know that - oops

That's not a magazine mistake.
Removing the multi-pile-up from Escort was a mistake.

Dinoboy - the magazine is "Ferrari" the official magazine which you get foc when you order a new Ferrari and for about three years thereafter. You can also pay to receive it if you don't qualify for a freebie but it's an arm and a leg job. Hope that helps.

Ah right, thanks for that WW. Didn't think of that, still think of those as yearbooks.
