Magazine stuff

[normski]

Something some may have thought of before now! I have been caught on this one, but I recon I should pass this one on. Before you agree to put you car into a magazine for an article ask how much you are getting. I think it’s disgusting when one considers the time effort and money owners put into there project, that a magazine will not pay a penny for the article. Almost everyone else gets paid. The photographer, and the writer. Contry to what these greedy people will tell you they make a B**** fortune. Don’t forget, without our cars, they would have no magazine. Make the monkey pay for it. If you say no, they say so what, if we all say no they are in trouble.  

I did not even get free magazine when you thing went in :2Mad  How crap is that

Oh right , are you famous?.........this wasnt hello or heat magazine!!! and your name isnt david beckham.

Ok you have spent **** loads on your car, but that was your choice, and not the magazines!

Most people appreciate it when their cars go in a magazine for all to see,.....you obviously dont!!

Shut up moaning, and just sign the copies to your adoring fans when it hits the shelve

You could have said no to the car going in the mag!

I dont think they make a super fortune, check out J-Tuner the magazine is no more beacuse it failed to make a profit.

I think its Kudos to get in a magazine, I would luv to see my car have a proper article on it something to show me mates, plus you have people recognise your car on the road makes you feel proud, so I would not bitch about it Normski its obvious you dont need the money as you are own a 3 Rotor

Maybe we should all chip in and pay for full Membership for Normski sounds like he needs the money lol :rollin

I think you are being slighty hypocritical Normski, People have put time and effort and into this forum and club being the organisers and members without them they would be no forum ! but we dont winge about it if Non members post on here or use the forum. But yet you winge about not being paid to appear in a magazine!!!!

yet you cant stick your hand in your pocket and pull out 25 quid for membership which obviously you can afford, with the way you go on about how wonderful your car is and how much money you spent on it!

I know a lot of non members are short on cash and cant even afford to run the Rexys correctly and they in my eyes can be excused, you my friend should stop winging about small stuff, they are people out there who can not  even afford to feed or clothes themselves, oh yeah you been flamed :flamed  btw

I am sure you are an ok guy in real life but you come across here on this forum as luving himslef (ps I am not the only one that thinks that) so in future re-read what you post.

PMSL....:wiggle ..Suppose that is the scenario some members want,I was to happy to forfeit a days income,actaully spend money to get my lil 2 in a magazine.It was an honour for me to do this and the payback was so cool when I actaually got the mag in print.!!!!:Thumbsup! Also I made a special friend in Carlin.....:Thumbs-up .In my life I would never have asked for money or anything of such nature.If he had said...bring your car to Manchester I would have done.....after all these years I am still an eager enthusiast,almost child like !!!!!!!

Ha I knew that would set the car among the pigeons! Some interesting points. Magazines are there to make a profit, there not there to supply some odd service to the car community, like a charity. Most of the big magazines, Top gear, Jap performance, Banzi and alike are doing quite nice for themselves. So, if it’s all about the great rep you get from the article then why don’t all these top models do it for nothing. Why is it they get paid silly money for an hours work. The reason no one gets paid for the right ups, is down to one fact only! This being, cos they will get any number of other Muppets to do it for nothing. As said, if on one done it for nothing, then you watch the sods pay up then. It’s rather like you work for nothing and I will make the profits and drive my nice new M5 BMW, Luvly money! Come now why should you not get aid ? The, simple fact is, without your cars in them they would have no magazine that anyone would want to buy! It’s nice that people enjoy to look at your car, Of course, it feels great, Nothing wrong with that, But why should some parasite of a magazine make money out of it for putting in absolutely NOTHING! You don’t’ and you put the money in! DUrrrrrr!         :Typing
