Original Tin FREE - Citroen BX Content!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

The story: A few years ago I started a small magazine with the help of 'shiters. It cost me a fortune and folded immediately, but I kept promising to relaunch it online or otherwise at some point. Well that's not going to happen, and now I find myself 'unwaged' it's daft of me to keep paying for the expensive web hosting package. So I've compiled the unpublished articles from the third issue into a PDF you can all download for FREE until that hosting expires in a couple of months!

Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

 

All the people who were supportive enough to subscribe should have been refunded, but the whole thing was a shambles and if you weren't please let me know via PM.

Downloaded and just about to be read. Thanks a lot

 

Pawnote: I actually bought the first issue of OT and really enjoyed it; I felt that it was a latter-day version of Jalopy and Real Classics

Bloody hell. I'd forgotten that the Maestro had a duff wheel bearing, and then cost so much to fix. You've ruined my day (no you haven't, technology has, but that's a grump for another day). I must have written that years ago. It was a crap car.

 

I wish the sums worked for Original Tin. I enjoyed writing for it and enjoyed reading it. I've tried many times over the years to find a financial model that works for such a title. It sadly seems that writing for people who don't like spending money doesn't work, which is why magazines are full of MGs and Triumphs.

Bloody hell Peter, that content must be nearly 7 years old! Well done for finally publishing it mind.

"Our demographics are people who don't spend much money on stuff" would require one hell of an ad sales department.

If I'd been able to publish it bi-monthly like I originally intended, we'd be on issue 30 something by now.

Good lord, that takes me back - those Patio doors have been long gone.

excellent- very similar in spirit to Jalopy magazine. I've have bought this at the time if I'd even heard of it. a shame it didn't take off.
