Hot VW's magazine

[c21darrel]

It was a rumor that got started like most rumors do with a pinch of truth and a bunch of "fake news" lol mixed into it. I heard that a couple editors quit, the truth part. Now the mag is quiting April 1, thats the fake part. Dont think it had anything to do with their traditional April fools joke.
My subscript expired around the end of last year, I didnt even notice for a couple months. When I re-upped they told me 6-8 weeks to start receiving mag again. Yeah, thats r e a l l y slow.

People should consider subscribing if they do not already, we in the VW community need to do whatever it takes to keep the interest in VW's alive, if we don't there could be a death spiral for the entire community. A subscription is a cheap way of showing support.

can a moderator please take down glens selfie....... I stoped years ago on the mag subscripts,too much fluff, all adds, no reporting, toomany go zillionare cars gracing the pages and they may not of even run. kinda like the buggy around hear that wills lots of car shows...and has to be pushed in&out of the trailer befor and after the show. how useless. after about 10 years of subscrpits...I gess i had enough. Ive bought a few at the book store or wally world when that had them. they did give me a year after they printed a tech article I wrote. go figure Im in print...Im published!!!! whoo hoo.... and think some people live for that shit.

The Volksworld mag has a much better mix. You can stoll tell that their primary clientelle is the "rat rod" crowd....but they have a good mix of history, "found vws" from all over the world.....printing and material standards that make glossy well built car photography stand out.......and their "how to" articles are very well done and photographed.

Really HVW's could just have 50% of the mag dedicated to really well done how to articles.....and photography ....and correct photography is 9/10s of that game.......and not pages of pictures of too many trailer queen cars that are over accessorized......and pages of race stats.......and they would Probably get more subscriptions.

If you want people to buy a physical magazine....it needs to be full of visually interesting to stuff that they cannot more easily just pull off your website. Ray

If i could go back in time I WOULDN'T

Growing up in Anaheim,CA. and knowing most of the contributors to hot vws
as well as reading it monthly it's like any other thing in life. Time for the end
of an awesome time of my life and all i saw and learned from the many
contributors to that mag.

So,so many important people made hot vw's magazine an important part of
daily life there.

At 67 years old and having 16 original binders full of the old issues dating
back to the beginning i feel glad i grew up where & when i did.

When you are 17yr's old you don't look at the people behind the mag but,only
the contributors..

I had the opportunity to meet most of the staff and also most of the contributors too. All are Stars in my eyes.

Thank You for Hot VW's magazine.....
