I can't understand why one of those great photos that you guys took on this years Euro tour has not been on the front cover of sprint? Or at least a four page write up inside! Is it likely to happen?confused

Has AutoAndy or Longers primed you? I'm still writing it but been a little tied up since returning. Hoping to get it finished and to Andy this coming week.

So don't worry....it's coming, and one of those pictures will be my first S front cover.

By the way, we are still looking for interesting S articles, so perhaps a life with an S in Spain with some sunny photos would be another article hey Graham.......

And don't forget the rest of you...give me copy! I have got the presses on hold...

Hi Andy,
If it's copy you want, how about gleaning all the best bits from the S Club Eurotour 2013 thread here on PH? Or is there a copywrite issue?

Lots of good stuff, including the Viking Force assault on Stuttgart, the pincer movement taking of Baden-Baden,......the wonderful hospitality shown to us by our German TVR friends in spite of the loud strains of 633 Sqn & the Dambusters themes echoing loudly under the petrol station canopy ( "Ist das zer Monty Pyson muzik? ).......the Battle of the Satnavs in the Black Forest Anglo/Deutsche Joint Jolly..... the conquest of the Swiss Alpy twisty bits,..... my half day ban from the GTS for imbibing forbidden energy drinks instead of Ovalmaltine(sic) or Horlicks & therefore having to drive with the maniacs up & down the Nufenen Pass twice, resulting in my brakes melting, ....... the humble mountain shack we were forced to live in for 2 nights ( what a dump wink ) ,.... Potless Paul's intricate commemorative snowbank carving,.......Maffe's melted tyre valve......and above all, the faultless organisation & logistics & leadership skills of our Commander, Longers.
Plus the fact that every Tiv that participated in this epic adventure made it back home again under it's own steam. ( probably not the best choice of words )
Boring stuff ain't it? Oh well.....

HTH ,
Glen.

I expect that Max will include all that. ..but I will let him to pull it all together as he was there and can give it more feeling than me.

However my request for copy was for other S articles from any interesting characters with something interesting to say....perhaps about running an S all year round....Glenn...?

The mag is a little short of articles at present, so we should blatantly take advantage and give them lots of S write ups to choose from...

Hi Mr. Sprint S Editor AutoAndy Sir bow
I would love to do an article for the hallowed magazine, but I fear my IT skills are totally lacking.
In the old days it was easy for me to put pen to paper & pour out my thoughts but on my phone it's taken me 20 mins just to write this bit.
The screen keeps going black, the text disappears and when I get it back the cursor ( I know now why it's called that curse ) jumps to a completely different part of my composition, and inserts whatever I type into the middle of earlier words. Grrrrrrr!
As for photos, I have mastered how to get them onto this forum,
but only pictures from this phone, and if I could somehow get them to you or Sprint, would the resolution be good enough?
And how could I collate them to fit in the correct bit of the article?

Your advice please...

It's not easy being me.

I sent one in of Joe driving Joseph on the Furka pass for picture this and was contacted by the Editor, but still not been in the mag. confused

I may be biased but it looked far more interesting than some of the static shots of other entries.

Ooh that would be a nice idea. It would be good to get an S on the front of Sprint, no matter who shot it.
