Corvette Enthusiast Magazine TT article
Just wanted to say thanks to Andy Bolig, of Corvette Enthusiast Magazine, that did an article on my Z06 APS Twin Turbo install at Mike Norris's shop, Norris Motorsports, Orlando, FL. Nice article and pictures. It was in the October 08 edition.
Thanks again, Glen

At least he got back to you. He expressed an interest in my wife's 01 Breast Cancer Tribute car, and suggested I talk to him at Bloomington Gold about it. I tried all weekend to meet up, and he never even tried. I sent countless e-mails that were never returned, and even a couple of phone calls...nada. He could have said "not interested" and that would have been fine.
Nice article on your car, by the way.

I've known Andy for a few years now, and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. The entire staff of Corvette Fever are great people, and real car enthusiasts.
I can only guess there was a communications snafu; I'm sorry it caused you some grief.

I too have spent quite a lot of time working with Andy on a feature of my car that is due out this March and I can tell you that he is one of the Nicest people I have ever met EVER.
I would like to give this observation from Carlisle. I did three different photo shoots with Andy as I am now doing shoots for the Magazine.
We could not walk more then 5 feet without someone pitching his or her car to Andy, and he always took the time to listen, and several times he did this when I knew that he had a place to be. We got held up almost an hour for Dinner one evening while he looked over a car.
I promise you he didn't mean to lead you on, or be rude, he is just that busy. If it makes you feel any better I will mention your the next time I speak with him.
Congrats on the feature and I hope to join you soon

He is one heck of a nice guy. He actually found me at CI to talk with me about shooting my car. Took his time and we had a blast!!
Not sure when mine will be in the mag though.
Congrats!!

So, how much did it cost you and was it worth it, I mean is it fast? (dumb question).
