Default I got a letter published in EVO!

Hahaha, I nearly fell off my seat while reading this months issue! I thought what I was reading was very similar to what I had once sent them, then I read my name at the bottom!

The letter is called "Crash Courses" in issue 68 8)

Scans, or STFU!

Congratulations, man! It must've been a heck of a letter.

Hahahaha, the letter was edited quite a lot, but that is ok. The letter was about an optional driving course for cars that were over a certain HP, if you complete the course, then you should get a reduction in insurance.

I completely forgot that I sent the e-mail. I now have my name in Print! I am sure when some others get the mag, it may be possible to scan it in.

LOL, nice work jon, and i totally agree on your idea. People who are good drivers (not lucky or old and slow) should be rewarded with lower insurance. And i'd quite enjoy taking a decent test for driving skill.

Congratulations mate - and it was a good edition to be in! How long ago did you send the letter in??

I sent my letter in when the previous issue was published, so around 1 month.
