VW MAG - Ezine it is.. SEND SOME ARTICLES!!!
Ok guys and gals... well it looks that it's an ezine that everyone wants (phew!) so i'm gunna start to put one together.... Now it will be
done in issues and not all at once - that way we can have new material.
I need a few articles to get me goin, and by a few i mean alot and by alot i mean EVERYONE SEND ME SOME INFO AND PHOTOS OF YOUR RIDE, no matter what
stage or style or condition it's in... people just wanna see other people's vw's.
even if it's a few paragraphs about what you've done to it, what previous owners have done, when you bought it, specs, future plans,
experiences in you vw, etc.
anything you can think of relating to your ride, write it on an email and send it through... must be accompanied ith pics. if you don't have a
digital camera, scan them!, no scanner? send me your pics to my address (will email it to you in private) with a reply paid envelope (if you want them
back) and i'll scan em for you.
Thanks in advance,
Remember, this magazine will be as successful as you the readers want it to be. so put in your 2 cents and let's show everyone that the vw scene
is here to stay!

Good point rhys, anything less than a meg... if the image looks shitty try taking another photo at higher res then reduce it.
a tip for people using digital cameras... if you take the image in high resolution on your digital camera, you can always reduce the size when
it's on your pc.. this ensures you get a great res photo that you can play with and edit on your pc.. if you take a shitty res photo on your
camera, it's hard to get it good quality on your pc...
ALSO, people who live in the fine city of sydney, i can organise to come over and take photos of your car.... BUT, you must have the car ready when i
get there, aalso, i'm a broker by trade and have another 2 jobs, so my time is mostly on the road and with work, so organising is hard, SO use me
as a LAST RESORT...
get them articles rolling in!

I'm in! coming your way.
Come on everyone - get out there and kick start this off. Many hands make mag work. It's not much and with a few sponsors it might even make some
money for the forum, it's editor or even some prises for contributers in the future.
I can't wait to catch up with my missing mate with his White and Green twincab and so a story on him.
Cheers Yianni.

VDUB2c what suburb are you actually in? I've been contemplating doing something like this for a while but the other half seems to always talk me
out of it because it will eat into our time together. But shared thats different. I'd be interested in getting involved. The behind the scenes
stuff. You know chief editor or something. Joking. What are you thinking for printing? I can try and find out some prices from a print management
company that my girlfriend used to work at and still has contacts there. Of course I'll have to ask her nicely. I have thought of many things for
this. LIke how are you going to distribute it. Approach newsagents? Well the company that supplies most of their stock. Forget who it is but could
find out. Anyway let us know. Again would love to be involved, not just contributing. I'm sure if all the VW shops around were approached with a
prototype that they would throw some advertising cash at it. Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Yianni, whats the best format for pics and whats the word limit on the articles or minimum words for an article.
What format for the written part, Word Document?
Did you want a tech box type thing made up for the car article. You know, with year, engine type, size, mods, ect all listed as bullet points.

ok documents can be sent as anything, word or even notepad... i will be reformatting the words and all that wonto the webpage with the pic strewn
throughout.
pics are probably best as .jpg or .gif file formats, as they have good qality and low file sizes.
if you could include and article and at the end or beginning, have a few stats.
such as:
your name:
the vw's name:
year and model:
colour:
body mods/kits if any:
suspension specs and mods:
brake specs and mods:
wheel style:
gearbox and engine specs and mods:
interior mods:
any other mods:
special thanks:
hope this helps.
