I just got the latest issue of Ultimate Northwest in my mailbox, and there’s a piece in there that I wrote about usable SUVs. I finished the article in March and had almost forgotten about it.

Road Trip!

The March/April issue of Ultimate Northwest is on newsstands in the Portland area today, with my article “The highway, your way” on page 74. I picked eight vehicles, from a Harley to the latest Town ‘n’ Country, for taking on the great American road trip in 2008.

Thanks to the Alfa Romeo Owners of Oregon

Last night, at the invitation of fearless AROO leader Marty Schneiderman, I gave a presentation entitled “Sports and Collector Cars in the Eco Age, or Why You Won’t Have to Give Up Your Alfa Any Time Soon” to the members of the club. Marty warmed up the crowd for me by running the regularly scheduled meeting while the rest of us ate barbecue. It was a great time, I met a lot of new people (not all of whom shared with my interest in alternative-fuel technologies), and I wanted to say thanks to Marty and give the club a plug.

If you’re wondering how I got invited in the first place, you can read my article about Alfa’s 2009 return to the U.S. market, which was published in the December issue of Ultimate Northwest, here.

I never did scan in the holiday decor article I did for Ultimate Northwest; on reflection, it was a last-minute assignment that was pretty far out of my area of expertise and not my favorite article that I’ve ever written. It’s pretty good for being an automotive writer tackling ways to make your home sparkle, though. (My tips for shining chrome didn’t come in handy, no.) If anyone is interested in seeing the article, it’s still on newsstands in the Portland metro area, or I could be persuaded to scan it in and post the PDF if editors clamor to read it.

I’m all over the latest issue of Ultimate Northwest

In the December 9 issue of Ultimate Northwest, I wrote articles on holiday decor (”Breaking out of the tinsel trap,” p. 30), toy collecting (”Kidd stuff,” p. 35), home and garden gifts (p. 72), automotive gifts (p. 80), and the return of Alfa Romeo to the U.S. market in 2009 (”Alfa’s alpha car,” p. 107).
Now I just need to find the time to scan all these in and post the PDFs on my clips page.

My next article for the NY Times, on the National Electric Drag Racing Association, is on the schedule for November 25, and the issue of Ultimate Northwest with several articles by me will be out December 9, it seems.

It only seems like I haven’t been working. I’ve actually been busy working on weekly auto reviews for Izmo Autos, a couple of articles in the November/December issue of Ultimate Northwest, and a book editing project. As soon as I have clips, I’ll post them to that page and stick a post up here on the front page.
