We emailed them out initially. But it was an admin nightmare. You can download the latest version on the website though.

Yes and no. About half have mailed. The post office was closed yesterday. And again today. Snow the sign said. Charlotte isn't used to snow.

One of my old time sailing buddies is holding a position as professor at Durham University. Currently, the whole family is in The Netherlands. Guess what we saw on the news: footage of the highway exit to their home covered in snow, snow, snow.

Average max snowheight for Durham is 1.9"... That number has been topped.

To be honest, overhere in Holland we've not seen serious snowflakes since December 2011. I suppose life will grind to a halt too when it really starts snowing.

Back on topic: the magazine is great. The issues you've mailed me are on the coffee table at the workshop where we repair and restore classic cars. Clients grab the magazines and always start talking about the 914.

Thanks. I really enjoy putting the magazine together. We have redesigned it quite a bit, added 8 pages, and continue to try to strike the right balance between features and technical content (this issue is probably a little too technical). It also has a lot of event coverage and some Magnus Walker 914 info and pictures. I think it is the best issue yet.

We are always looking for more people to write. Hint, hint . . . .

I like the magazine's content although I would much prefer a standard magazine size vs. the smaller issues. Although I appreciate your efforts in minimizing the subscriber's cost, I would rather pay a little more and have the standard size magazine. You get what you pay for. Looking forward to issue #4. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I am glad you enjoy it.

I hear you about increasing the size. Although the size does cut down on printing costs (it would almost double the cost to double its size), it helps in other ways as well. So to change the size would be very difficult, given the small 914 niche. I tried all year to figure out how to increase the size. I'd also like to increase it to 6 issues per year. But, we will see. We are working on some ideas. But it will be a few weeks before anything is final.

For the January issue, we added 8 pages, and tried to use the space more wisely. I think this issue is the best yet. And it is full of content:

Editorial
A featured six conversion
Okteenerfest
Rennsport reunion V
A conversation with Magnus Walker about his 914s
The Build-Off Challenge
How-To Rebuild the Bottme End of a 914/4 engine
Project Car
914 History
914 Tips
A new classifieds section

The next improvements will be to always continue to improve the quality of the photographs on features, and further increase the number of people writing articles.

Thanks. That means a lot. That's our goal. We have been working hard to get the balance right, improve photography, improve writing, etc. And I think we may have some news coming related to other improvements soon.

I asked for the email version and got the first issue. I see that you don't email any longer - but I don't see how to download a PDF off your site?

Yes. The email was a logistic nightmare - too many bounced back emails, etc. plus we were having to send a low res version to get it to fit in the email, etc. I'll PM you some info on the pdf.

I love it Steve, keep them coming. My only complaint is they are too far apart. Once a week would be good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Got mine today, sat right down and started reading, before going out to the barn to work on the build off project. It one of the very few things I'll stop to do when I get home before doing the job I really enjoy!
