The next issue of Fourteener Motoring is mailing out. It took us a little extra time to get copyright permission on some of the photography. But, it was worth it. I think you will like this one.
- PMB Performance Feature - 2017 Build-Off Challenge Round 1 results - Werks Reunion East - 356 Club of Southern California Swap and Show - 1972 Project Car - News - Tech Tips We spent considerable time implementing a new distribution tracking system, that we hope will take the kinks out. Also, like I mentioned about a month ago, we shifted the dates of the magazine. Previously, they were released at the end of each season - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. But that caused considerable confusion because it made it seem like people were receiving it late when they weren't. So we shift the dates on them so that the "published date" coincides with the beginning of each season. So what would have been the winter 2017 issue (end of March) became the Spring issue (end of march). It doesn't change the number of issues a subscription receives, or when they get them. It just affected the season printed on the magazine, as the current issue became the spring issue. I hope that makes sense. :-) Attached image(s) |

Well done Steve and Julie its not easy doing something for nothing, some people like to complain maybe they should help you guys. Keep up the hard work I look forward to receiving further mags. Hmmm, I paid $29 via PayPal, doesn't sound like nothing to me. Listen, I understand that this is hard, if you go back a few pages you'll see me defending Steve to another guy who was going off on not getting issues, so I get it. I've emailed the gmail account and hope that resolves the issue but I don't understand how if I'm paying for a product then I can reasonably expect to receive something in return. Now, if this was indeed a something for nothing, and maybe some of you are getting this for nothin, then okay. But $29 buck is a bit much for one issue. I agree. Everyone receives 4 issues in their subscription. If someone didn't get all 4 issues in their subscription, let us know and we will send them to you. We don't have any comp subscribers. We send extra issues to vendors. But all subscriptions are paid. I think the above post was referring to the fact that this is a nonprofit endeavor. But that doesn't change the fact that if you pay for a subscription you should get your issues. I take responsibility for our past problems. I will stand by it and make sure we make good on it. My post above just outlines the changes we have made, to resolve the distribution problems moving forward. Have only received one Mag as yet, the Summer 2016 edition. I know I'm behind a couple. You had to get involved on the first issue sent as well. Can you help here ?? |

Steve,
There's some guy named John Chesworth casting aspersions on your business acumen on Facebook Porsche 914 page. Apparently he subscribed and didn't get anything yet. |

Hi Steve, forgive me if this seems curt, but I will be direct to the point.
Many of us have talked on different forms about what’s up with the lack of distribution of the magazine and seeming nonexistent replies to communication attempts. I for one have voiced my concern over your well-being, as I think many have also considered as a reason for no communication and no distribution. So, now to the point. If you are not well, or are dealing with some life issue, and are unable to put the attention into the magazine, please formulate some statement here on 914 world, and ask us to disseminate that information. And if you need specific assistance with some certain things, again ask the forums. With all the horrible crap going on in the world right now, I think doing nice things for one another, is a nice diversion from all the worldly crap. I like Michael’s idea of doing an annual or maybe twice a year publication. However I think that should probably sell for about $15 US, have about 6 segments, separated by advertisers who are preferably 914 resource providers, and gets distributed quickly. I also like the idea of using Fourteenermotoring.com as a paid members forum to offer content to forum moderators for possible inclusion in the annual or twice yearly subscription publication. Else, the content posted on the site following approval. All of this may be too far down the road for you to consider, if your having a “lock will “turn in the barrel”, which I hope you’re not, but we would like to know how you are and what’s up. |

Was a nice idea - but I gave up as well (though I did receive the issues I subscribed to after some "where are they" emails)
