Max Zimmer's article in Aug. Kit Car Magazine

Yeah. 

Very cool!  

Jack, you beat me to it.  I just logged in to say pretty much the same things.  Max knocked it out of the park once again.  I feel the same way every time the Carlisle weekend winds down and he put it all down on paper. 

Also thanks to Jim Youngs for the super two-page centerfold of the showfield crane shot and mention of the gathering.  Super job of the Porsche replica coverage too. 

Great job guys.  Thanks!   

Kudos Jack. I could not have said it better!

Just think, go into work tomorrow and tell your colleagues you are in the centerfold of a major  magazine!

If anyone would like to see the article I can scan and email Max's article  to you.  Certainly one of the best issues ever.

Yes please. Me, Rich.

Please include me on that list as well, Jack!

Me too, please.

I'd appreciate one too, please Jack. Thanks for doing this.

Me 3, please- al 1560 at telus. net

Will do this morning.  I hope I have everyone's email address.  Please be sure yours is on your profile page!

Jack, I know you & I have had our moments, butt as much as it pains me to say this, your post at the top of this thread is spot on, I do not subscribe to "Kit Kar"

so please add me to the list above.....

Awwwww Between Vince, Jack and Max's article, I'm all teary now. But does anyone else remember the name of the little boy that yells "Shane, come back Shane"? But thanks Max for another great article!

Me too please

Jack,

   If it is not to much trouble, please include me. I tried to find it on the local newstand, to no avail.

Chuck

Wow, Jack, thanks so much for your generous words. Bruce, Nolan, you too. Just want to stress that there's much more to the issue than my one page, and I think you should consider getting an issue right from Jim Youngs. There's coverage of us at Carlisle and some individual cars, like John Eastman's new Cab. It's a real Porsche issue.

Thanks again you guys. It means the world to me when this happens.

Max

Jack:

I thought of asking for a scanned copy, but I think I'll try finding a copy of the entire magazine at my local Barnes and Noble, first.  I owe the hobby (and it's supporters) at least that much.  If they don't have it I might hit you up, but I'll let you know.

Here's the deal.  I scanned and emailed the article plus the group shot and one other page to several of you including:

musbjim

Rich D.

Al1560

Vince

Tom B.

For others,  I need an email address or your email addess has changed since we last emailed. If you will email me at:  hsbroker  AT  aol  dot com  I can send you the kit Car Builder material.  So I need emaio addresses from:

edsnova

pmossberg

Gordon

Lane

Chuck M.

Dave S.

I believe we all should have our email addresses in our profile.  If you put it like I have mine, above,, you won't have a problem with bad guys harvesting your web address

Anyway--email me and I'll get the pages right out to you.

Jack

Thanks Jack. Got mine. Now I feel all guilty for not going out and finding the elusive magazine.

Hi Jack ~ You're the best! Thanks so much for sending everyone copies of the article. Yep, it really was a tear-jerker, but in a good way!

Hey Toni--good to hear from you! Yes--definitely in a good way.

00Hope you are well.

hello jack,

could you please add me to the line for the article.

thanks very much.

onlycafe@twcny.rr.com

By the way...

That's my sweet (disabled) speedster being off loaded.

I'm just to the right, cropped out of the photo, pulling out what's left of my hair!!!!!

would love a copy.....tr316atbellsouthdotnet

thanks in advance

Jack, no need to send a copy, I subscribe!

future reference though for you and everyone: edwardericsonjr ++ATSIGN++ gmail ++to the++ dotcom

Nice of Jack to offer copies of Max's article but come on, guys...buy the magazine!  Support the cause.  This is the one and only Kit Car related magazine still on the market and there is alot of Porsche replica related articles and photos in this issue.  Plus a two-page centerfold of the Carlisle showfield crane shot.          

I'm glad you said it Bruce, because I was going to.  It's well worth the price and I doubt that there is anyone on here who can't afford it.

Thanks for that, Bruce and Troy but I'm about 40 miles from any reputable news stand and when I've tried before, they can't get a copy anyway.... :-)

Jack, thanks...but I subscribe.

I agree 100% with what Bruce wrote.

With friends that make their living from copyrighted works, be it words or music, I feel pretty strongly about it and it deserves to be repeated.

If you want a copy of the article, you should buy the issue or subscribe.

Jim Youngs and his wife are great friends and supporters of our hobby. It is not fair to them to redistribute their work for free.

And if your newsstand won't carry it, I'm sure KCB will sell you a copy. Heck, they might even send you one for free. But that would be THEIR decision, not ours.

Just my two cents.

I'll shut up now. ;-)

Il go buy it, since I couldent be there to be in the pic and the mag had somebody there so I can now enjoy all the fun you guys had without me....... I just wish the mags had something in them other than addvertizing.........and some butt ugly kit cars addvertized at that.

I'll keep my copy so when someone asks," what's this Carlisle thing all about, why do you make a 1,000 mile round trip every year?" I can just hand them the magazine and if they don't understand that's their problem.

I definitely plan to buy a copy --- if I can find one locally.  I let my subscription lapse when I started to notice a boring sameness to the issues - except, of course, when they talk about us

Sending out a couple of pages out of one issue is a far cry from "distributing their work for free".  They hand out the magazines at Carlisle as samples and I felt that sending a couple of pages was also a sample.

In my original post I did write that I believed that every owner of a Speedster, Spyder or MG should subscribe to Kit Car magazine.

I am a huge booster of the magazine and would only do anything I could to boost them and feel that this publicity for KKM was nothing but a plus for them---which I am certain is the case.

Sampling = Marketing 101.

I have been a subscriber to KCB for years and plan to continue each year as long as I am breathing.  Jim, Queen Bee, Max and all the contributors are like part of our family and I think we should support them the same way they that support us; the current issue underscores that support.  Sure, there are months that are not as interesting as others, but I always get something out of my reading.  Those mentioned above are must reads, always. 

I understand Jack's generous offer but I think that a better gesture for those interested would be to pony up for a subscription or, at least, the current, splendid offering.

FYI, subscription copies are out but this issue will not hit the newstands until July 2.

Barnes&Nobel, the largest book store in the area doesn't carry Kitcar magazine. They have an automotive section with about forty periodicals...But not Kitcar!!!

I'm unable to establish two way communication (via Google) with the publisher to find a vendor in the area...does anyone have an email address, or even a tel# that I can contact? 

Carl, the subscription link is on this page: http://www.kitcarclub.com/

Jack, we obviously agree that we should all be subscribing!. But as far as redistribution, copyright law would consider scanning articles from a copyrighted magazine and emailing them out as "distributing their work for free". And as far as samples, if the owner wants to give out free samples, that's their choice. I still don't think it's our place to make that choice for them.

At the end of the day, we know Jim Youngs is not gonna come chasing you -- although Queen Bee might! ;-) . But that doesn't make it right.

uncle!!
