One of the reasons that Kit Car contains too many typo's is because we're always chasing our tails. The artwork being completed minutes before it's required by the printer.

Loads of people suggested that they'd be willing to help out by proof reading, so I thought I'd take you up on those kind offers.

There are about 12 features in each issue, so I thought that around 6 of you proofing 2 articles each would make relatively light work for relatively few people.

Volunteers by e-mail please. Acrobat proof copies should be arriving tomorrow. Results back to me by e-mail and you could point out any funnies on here and even review the articles if you want.

Thanks for the advice, traction.
It evidently doesn’t work though .
Nigh and Neigh don’t bring up a red squiggly line
Anyway, I thought that a few PistonHeads would enjoy doing Microsoft out of a job

is this paid?


Sorry but no

It’s a labour of love

Two proof readers have ‘signed-up’ so far

Brilliant,
Thanks all!
I’ve signed up 8 or 9 poof reeders so far.

However tombs is worried! He thinks he’ll be out of a job and is worried about industrial espionage. He imagines that my distributing copies of Kit Car about 2 weeks prior to sale might cause loss of sales and more worryingly the thought of espionage entered his sad mind. I think he imagines Fib’s signing-up to get his hands on Kit Car’s hottest news!

I’ve reassured him that you’re an honest bunch .

Alan (supersixfan), you've obviously qualified!

I did send you three articles. Honest!

But I've since had another go!

Spartan Andy,
Tombs was right when he said my sending proofs now would cost sales later.
Well, I can live with that!
I hope you enjoyed reading them.
Anybody want more?
Finally, who asked for the SVA article? I’m snowed under with the sheer number of e-mails.

Den.

I'd also be interested in Proof Reading articles. Feel free to e-mail me.

PS
Problem is that I can’t send attachment’s (ie proof copies) via the site’s e-mail facility.

So, please e-mail me.

Den.
BTW I’ve tried to send proofs to a couple of folk but because they’re big they’ve bounced. Sorry
