How cool is THIS?

So, my good friend HIsashi Masui, a photographer and contributing writer for the Japanese publication "Nostalgic Hero", asked me a few months ago to help come up with a feature title for the next issue... something that would translate well into English, but that would appeal to their Japanese readership.

He gave me the gist of the feature article, and the "feeling" they were trying to convey... and the Editor liked my idea!

So, here's my contribution (they were gracious enough to send me a copy!):

If you've never browsed through a copy of Nostalgic Hero magazine, it's amazing... A huge, glossy, well-produced magazine that's more like a coffee table book... the photography of old Japanese cars is impressive, and there's usually a couple gorgeous 4-page full-color fold-out posters inside.

Definitely check it out!

Check it out - I got to do another one!

Same deal this time, they told me what the feature article was about, and the "feeling" they were after... and the Editor liked my idea again! :)

That's very cool. I would have loved to have contributed a banner phrase but I doubt any of mine would have been accepted. :)

For example, having a few family friends that bought that cover car new (old 60's Toyota Corona), I think an appropriate good "feeling" phrase might have been "more than passing gas" or "surprisingly quick...downhill.", or "yes it feels tinny, but it's LIGHT!"
