HAHAHA! This shit has been pushing me away from the car show scene for many years. |
I feel guilty for the number of times I make big circles to avoid cars when I see the owner perched in a lawn chair behind them. It's a repellent. I could not make this up but just last month someone had a "time out" kid propped up to their car at Kelley Park- a diuretic I did not need. |
I always am tempted to kick those little somebiches---------but if I did, with my luck, it would turn out to be an actual live little kid. |

The reason is that there haven't been any major shows with OG cars yet so they'll hold off until those happen. If you'd like I can post a photo of the article....(copyright?) _________________ '67 Beetle L41

I'm glad I'm usually right. The latest issue (Aug) arrived in my mailbox yesterday- and it is a follow up to everything I saw from the previous two issues. Great photography and lively stories about DOING things in VWs rather than just looking at them.
The best part? My old friend is back writing for the Transporter Talk column. _________________

Curiosity caused me to buy the current issue at a major bookstore. I liked what I saw. I was a subscriber for well over 30 years but dropped it about five years ago. I am considering becoming a subscriber again. |

I am also liking the newer version of the mag, but quite a price hike for subscriptions! _________________ '63 Ragtop |

Somebody over there is for sure listening. The new format is much like the European mags. There's even some back-row patina stuff thrown in here and there!! |

I tend to believe that you get what you pay for. But I think that the previous HVWs owners kept the price down to keep subscribers rather than to improve the quality of the magazine and charge a fair price like the new regime. So far, I like the "easier to read" format changes and the direction the magazine is headed. _________________ 67 Beetle Build Thread

I agree, the new format is an improvement. I suppose I'll buy a subscription to help out the hobby. I didn't catch the new price though, how much is it now? It has to be better than $10 like the Euro mags. _________________ "In any racing engine, the nearer you are to it disintegrating, the better it's performance will be"

I picked up the August issue in Missoula on the way to a midweek campout last month. Read it cover to cover, and I have to say I am impressed. I already passed it onto a friend to read, but I seem to recall a yearly sub was in the $20 range, give or take a couple of bucks.
My only gripe with the new mag is some grammar/writing style issues. No big deal really. _________________ nothing |

All print magazines are struggling. Playboy was once the largest subscription magazine in the USA and today are in financial trouble. The Internet is killing all forms of print media, magazines, and newspapers. Hot VW's today is about 50 pages smaller that it was 10 years ago. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK
