Hot VW's magazine

I would like to clarify what was said earlier. I was asked to continue being a contributor to Hot VWs, as a freelancer, not as a full-time staff member. I'm happy to work with Shin with their new venture, and remain a small part of this publication. Dean Kirsten

"There were layoffs/rehires going through the ownership changes. Deano posted on the CLL that he has been asked back. Unless something has changed within the last couple of months, some good friends of RK told me he was NOT asked back. I guess we will just have to wait, and see. There definately needs to be some content change to keep me as a reader. If they are ditching some that have made the mag what it is today, that will be the last nail."

Speculate no further and buy a copy yourself. It is a very fresh magazine. Layout and photography is up to date.

I didn't see a reference to the date (year attended) of the article on BBB- but when has the former HVWs EVER covered an event in print less than 2-1/2 months after attending it? I don't recognize a couple of the photos from last year- so I'm guessing it was 2017 unless someone else knows for sure.

I don't understand griping about a mag missing April. It was clearly a time of crazy havoc for all of them. That will be my only issue missed sine 1985.

Still no April...

kind of messes up a lot of ppls collections...

then again...knowing some are out there is going to drive the price of that issue sky rocketing!!!

No April, and still no May for me, very disappointing.
I have a subscription so I called and asked what happened to my April issue? They said "we are sorry it has been delayed". So i asked if it would be coming soon? They said.... "no, it has been delayed" Brick wall

I asked if i would eventually receive it? They said...."no, it has been delayed" Brick wall

I started to explain what "delayed" means but realized quickly that it was hopeless.

I can't wait to call back about May.

If Randy and many of the "regulars" are still working there, why don't they push to help us subscribers get our PAID magazines? It seems as though there is no follow through for us supporters. There has to have been a mailing list, was this just thrown out? Sounds like it if they shipped out store copies before subscribers. I just tried to call and was shifted around to finally "Goodbye".

On page 21 in dean's post there is a email address for shin if you did not get the April issue, probably use it if you don't get may, I got mine last week, no April yet though, but I only emailed Thursday

Shin(s) have announced to re-print the April issue for the current subscribers. You will receive it in the same mailing polybag as the June 2017 issue.

I got my May 2017 issue in the mail over the weekend, just started it. I did notice that shin felt his relative's VW was either a 1973 or 1974 when he was a little kid; looks like a 1974 to me because of the seatback shape in the photo.

I have decided to re-subscribe to Hot VWs for one year. I had until 2013 when I let it lapse. Time to try the new mag and see how it goes. tj
