Despite my valiant attempts to fend off the papparazzi, the Aristo finally made it to its first debut in the nation's largest automotive magazine. Not to mention making it to the cover too, courtesy of its next owner, ASIK.

Well, I have a sweltering feeling of pride deep inside even though I don't own this baby anymore. Hell yeah!

First the cover:



Then the centerfold story:



And finally the last page:



I love the title of the story too: "This is REAL VIP!"

It's in Indonesian, bro. You sure you want a copy? I think the street price for this mag is around USD 5 for 200 pages in color. Pretty cheap.

who are you again?? What car????

J/K Jon !!!!

I do have to ask you , though:

Do you feel somewhat slighted by the fact that it was all YOUR hard work and planning (not to mention $$$$) that went into this incredible ride, only to NOW make it into a major magazine under another owner??? I think I remember you saying that the guy who bought it was a friend of yours, so I guess that takes the "sting" out of it somewhat.

Just curious.
