Magazine stuff

[oldone]

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

I do think Norman that you are abit over the top with your comments.
The REAL world does not pay private individuals to feature their cars.that is reality.
The tuning shops do not get paid to feature their car\'s,maybe sometimes they might get some of their expenses paid,but they do get good publicity for their work.
In your case Pip should get some good publicity for WGT\'s excellent work(I have seen it),and you should enjoy the privelidge of having your car featured.
That is real life I am afraid in the car world,and cannot be compared to modelling of people.
I wouldn\'t mind betting that car manufacturers even have to PAY for their cars to be on Top Gear and the like!

i thought i would be a bonus to get your car in a mag.
That said i would have thought you\'d get a free copy of the mag!

[normski]

Of course your right, We know car Features tend not get any money. But I am asking how much of this a  tradition type thing,( a just how it’s always been sort of thing) ? it’s a kind of double standards type of thing. Cos people don’t get paid, does not make right. Does it?  And your right also, about Pip, he will probably get a couple of mags to a thing on the car, his choice, and it’s a kind of free advert for his work and what he does, which he would normally have to pay for. As we know, marketing can be very expensive for companies, so any mileage they can get (marketing wise is a good thing)  I just look at it rather like you spending your money, time, effort, to get a car going, or to build a car. And some bloke like me comes along and says, great nice job mate, Don’t mind if I take it to do a few taxi runs in it so I can earn some dosh for myself do you. I am sure would agree, !!!! You may say yea no problem, you hire it. Why should someone who is nothing to you, make money off your back. You would not do a rebuild for nothing, and supply parts for nothing to boot. Why should you, It’s your time, your effort, your money. They are not your best mate, brother, sister, or something. As said I agree with much of what you said, these are the facts of life. I am just saying, it does not make it right!

As far as someone else mentioned about losing a days pay to help someone out, there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s to help someone out who is in trouble or in a soup. I would do the same. I am talking business here, different thing altogether.   :Talking1

Or you can give your views on this thread

Significantly reduce the membership fee,  and for those of you who wish to take part in these add-ons mentioned they pay on top. £25.00 for the use of a web site seems a little much to me anyway. As all will know, there are hundreds, thousands of sites out there which don’t want money or at least anything like £25.00 to join the site and participate in it. Yes its fun, good to talk, and communicate with others of the same interests. But £25.00 to do that, is a little harsh to say the least. As far as, rotorstock goes, and the savings, Ok, why not give people the choice instead of press ganging them into membership. It’s sounds like pay or clear off. I am only using the message board, nothing else. If I turn up at the shows, I am happy to pay the normal rate, so it is with any other club activities. As you say, members get those benefits, I don’t, I am happy with that situation. So, why should us none members pay.

To say such things without any form of quailification is a little shallow, don\'t you think! To hurl abuse or make rash derogatory statements without qualification of them first is a little sad! If someone is a fool, then you should be able to justify you’re your opinion, It appears you have not offered one statement to do this, so please allow others the freedom to view life outside the box! So come on then, what’s wrong with this approach, if I am so Anal ! Please educate me on this point!!!   :Snoring

All the more reason the make the site and club more exclusive I think.

Normski kick ass !!

He has a cool attitude, and a cool car.

Please do not be too harsh on him.  It is not his fault that he is foreign, and therefore unable to adequately communicate his visions to us.

Normski, they should at least have given you that free mag..

Very wise words..

[normski]

Think on this one!!!!

All the other sites which have car related topics on, message boards, and alike. all would cost £25.00 to participate.

I just wonder how many members log onto other sites and don\'t pay member ship fees!!!! ummmmm

Insular, attitude... The net is all about information and communication, this site does not have everything, some good stuff, but imagine not being able to log onto anything else ( car wise) unless you paid. I bet that would reduce all your net exploring on different things about the Rex.

[gmogle]

I dont think its appropriate for this thread to end up with an arguement and then eventually being closed.This has happened on a number of occasions recently so please think we should keep this on topic rather than discussing/abusing people for not being members etc

Therefore...

Whilst I agree that it\'s bad there is no payment for getting a car in a mag I dont really see why there should be. You arent building the car for the magazine after all (hope not anyway).

The whole point of having your car in a mag is to show it off to others. I would also love for mine to be in a mag....its been in a few at event pics etc. Have been told that mine is \'too standard\'

As for not receiving a free copy, I agree I think that they could have provided that for you.
