[snowtracdave]

Got mine this morning - something to peruse over the hols . Loads of interesting stuff again this month . Bad news - the price has had to go up .

Interesting letter from a US veteran commenting on last months article on the M151 & his experiences . :shake:

[Rick W]

The local newsagent hasnt got it anymore, all down to WHS I suspect. Shame really as he will be losing out on my business.

Well, I'll tell you what I do with those magazines. I bring them to our old wooden cabin into the mountains. There they stay, so that I can re-read them whenever I'm there. Just imagine: the fireplace burning, me sitting in my rocking chair and it's all quiet around.... Ahhh...

This is of course true.This is allmost imposible to answer as everyones idea is bound to differ.

We have breached the subject in private,i dont know if its been covered before on HMVF as i am just a new moosh.

Without setting out to upset any one working for the military comics,oops magazines sorry.My personal opinion is the magazine needs to be imformative/educational,run by enthusiasts who are not trying to make a comercial success out of it,i would rather pay more for such a mag than less for what we have now.As i havs said to you during one of our tug of war discussions off forum,the mistakes are many,and the photos a lot of the time seem to be chosen for the wow factor rather than historical correctness.very often a vehicle chosen as the ferret on front page of a recent mag,will be a poor picture photographically,enhanced to get round the problem,Standard practice tho now sez snapper.Also supporting kit from different eras,Many years ago a photo i desperatly wanted of myself on a wilderness trip was not printed by a lab due to the negative being too thin,it was a night shot.I went out and purchased the whole kit to develop this myself,this was in the early days of colour for amatures,i managed the picture and was very pleased ,i dread to think of the cost.but it still makes me smile now.I tell you this so you understand i do have what i consider a resonable knowledge of things photographic

As that picture still pleases me, when i pick up an old mag and look again

its nice to say wow now i know why i kept it ,its really good.i dont feel this happens with modern mags.

I think we got as close to the best we could in its time with Wheels and tracks And Bart.What would it of been like if it started now we can only guess,So Jack make your MAgazine a modern version of Wheels and Tracks with as little comercial advertising as you can get away with,make the facts correct,use a poor picture that is correct rather than good pic that is incorrect.I think six copys a year about a tenner a copy.

Second thoughts this generation will never buy it,PS and definitely dont chop peoples heads off and plant them on others bodis.

Jack i think you would of liked it all those years ago ,we had the best of it compaired to now.All that freedom,Off roading,finding stuff that didnt cost a fortune.Ruddington sales,the list goes on and on.can i go to work now.cheers CW.

[Guest catweazle (Banned Member)]

It was in Glen affaric in the highlands,we drove the s1 the 600 miles then walked about ten to gain access to about ten monros we wanted to climb all over 3.000 ft.

before you ask we never did them all.

I was thinking the photo was taken on the road to Marrakesh.......but it was closer to home then.

[Chrisg]

Been called many things but never a Pixie

[LarryH57]

Was that first photo taken during your tree living eco-warrior days protesting against the Reading bypass?
