Blimey! That was quick* I only sent the article to Andy just after Christmas. Although I think that picture on the front shows the original roof, because I haven't had the 8-spokes on since I did the conversion confused

  • not as quick as putting the roof up though laugh

Well done Joe it is very good and detailed, and even I was impressed how quickly they published it...Guess they need to get the S articles evenly spaced out in the isuses...ready for the next one, eh Glen wink

Steve,
Where on earth did you get the pic of the cover of the March issue of Sprint in February?????
Don't tell me you have your copy already!!!
I never get my copy until at least halfway through the month of issue. Usually about 10 days after Han! wink

All praise to Joe for his roofing job, and getting the article to print.

Andy, as you know, I've submitted the text of the Tour de FranSe write-up, but still waiting for a response re using some of the photos. ( copyright issues frown )
Hopefully I'll get the permissions soon...

Every month I post the cover with a few notes about the content on the TVRCC Facebook page.

We've been managing to catch up with the publication dates the past few months type so the magazine is already printed and should be at the distribution house today. smile

So hopefully you'll have you copy on or before the coming weekend. thumbup

Wow! I shall look forward to that David! bounce

I did try to go on Facebook back in January, but I had problems with it.
I managed to get my profile picture uploaded, but then it sort of filled all my details in incorrectly. It even said that I was educated somewhere oop norf. This is obviously patently untrue! Moi? Educated? They must be joking! wink
Then Jay Kay ( whoever he is ) wanted to be my friend. yikes
When I tried to correct my profile details it all went completely blank and it won't let me on at all now frown They must know me.....


I'm not very good at this I.T. lark. frowntypebangheadirked

Best photo we had of the car at a good angle - so it went on the cover (Pre conversion - yes smash)… its the before shot with the inside being the after photos smile
We did the best we could elsewhere with the photos supplied.

Cheers Jon

Very many thanks Jon. I'm afraid the photos weren't that great. Mostly they were taken on low res devices for convenience, and just as reference photos. I'd never expected the roof to get the star treatment otherwise I'd have used my SLR. Hindsight is a wonderful thing laugh

Thanks again.
