Got my first issue today, thanks! Very nice layout, really enjoy it!!!
Great job!!!!!!
Grassroots Motorsports is yours? I got a free copy in the mail last year and thought it was good.
Thanks. No, I just worked with them about a decade ago on some projects. I've known the owners since they founded it in the 80s. One of my 914s was on the cover back then. Grassroots and Classic Motorsports are both great magazines.

They have been sent to the printer. Waiting to get them back. Then we will mail them out. It turned out to be a good issue. We made some minor improvements. We are trying figure out how to make the centerfold removable.

We made quite a few changes for issue 2 - centerfold, more modern look, full bleed photos, more tech stuff, improved how-to layout, more cars, more events, and in Issue 3 we are starting a series of articles on the history of the 914. I'd still like to get more Subaru conversion stuff, and more about the people behind the cars. But it's a work in progress.

The electronic/PDF version has been a challenge (go figure?). Bounced emails, bad emails, large file, etc. We didn't have an efficient way to send out such a large number of emails at once. I should be able to get it on the website today. The currently thinking is to put it up on the site and let people download it, rather than send it out via email. It will, however, lag the print version a little.

Ya, that's what we are working on now. Sending out a thousand emails didn't prove to be efficient. Too many bounces back, etc. We are working on making it a downloadable file on the website after the print copy of each issue is mailed.

Over the years, the readership of this site has benefitted tremendously from the wisdom and sage advise given by the late John Larson, aka Cap'n Krusty. What if you were to publish a special glove box booklet devoted to the topics he responded to?? I would be ready to shell out a decent amount for such a project. It would preserve his legacy. We could even designate part of the income as a donation to his favorite charity.
How easy would it be to extract the information from 914world archives? Are there any copyright hurdles to overcome?

First, let me say thanks to everyone for their patience.
The print version distribution went smoothly (until I went on vacation. But, then again, my wife deserved a break, and as the CFO she funds my 914 fun. :-) The system we used to distribute the email PDF version, however, didn't work well. I have been involved with three magazines in the past (One I founded about a decade ago, Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports). But, with those we didn't do email pdf versions. So, we are still figuring that side of it out. Also, normally, subscriptions ordered after the drop date of an issue start with the next issue. But, with the first issue, we had a lot of people request that first issue even though they subscribed after April 1st (understandably so). And we want to accommodate those that want the first issue to have a complete set. Moving forward with future issues, the deadline for subscriptions to include a particular issue (other than ordering a back issue) will be the print date of the issue.
Anyhow, long story short, we are working through the bugs, and I appreciate your patience. I will verify all orders of magazines, shirts, and posters, etc. this weekend and make sure they have all been fulfilled. I think they have (with the exception of the lady's Save the 914 shirts and lady's The Other Woman is a 914 shirts, both of which should be done next week)
Here are the print dates for the issues in 2015, etc.
Issue 1 - April 1st. We still have some extra copies. If you want one let me know.
Issue 2 - July 1st
Issue 3 - October 1st
Issue 4 - January 1st
And so on.
I think we now have a system in place to distribute these smoothly. Thank you again for your support and patience. We couldn't do it without you.
BTW: The stories we have for issue 2 are great. I hope you enjoy it.
I figured I would also let you know.... I did receive #1 print version.... but nothing else after that. No email version, and no 2nd issue.

I wanted to make sure that you everyone saw that the downloadable PDF of the July issue is available on the website. Just go to -
FourteenerMotoring.com - and click on - Read Issue 2 in the menu. Right now, I think this is the best way to handle the PDF version. It will lag the print version by a few weeks for each issue. But, then it will be available to download on the website.
The print version of the October issue goes to press September 7th, and will be mailed October 1st. We have moved all of our deadlines up to make sure these go out on time, in addition to making changes in an effort to automate our distribution system. If you want a subscription to the print version of the magazine, you can
subscribe here.Finally, if you know anyone with a 914, please tell them about the magazine. The 914 community is a relatively small one. Whether it is the print version or the PDF download, it is our goal to have everyone involved and receiving the magazine. Spread the word.
