reb Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I may have only been "here" for 6 years, but I've been around AS for a lot longer than that. I know we don't have many members who have been here the whole time, but I figured I'd try this anyway. An amazing prize* for anyone who can correctly identify the source of this picture: Note, I mean the publication it is from not the car. I will be very impressed if anyone gets it!

reb Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 From the same publication. This was written by a prolific Shiter, but who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 @Conrad D. Conelrad's excellent publication! The full name escapes me (old age...) but it had Tin in the title. It was brilliant. Lacquer Peel and reb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 I've had it in my possession for a number of years now, but came across it when I was looking for something else the other day, very good timing as one of my many stupid ideas is a print magazine and I've been looking at what I can do to make that happen. I've very much enjoyed reading this issue, would love even a PDF of the first issue. If anyone wants to write something, anything, for the magazine project I'm working on with a few folks, feel free to PM me. Or don't. It's up to you.

Timewaster Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I still think AS is what an online version of Jalopy would have been. All my copies were donated to a member years ago when I had to clear some space. Would be nice if they were scanned and uploaded somewhere.

Discussion forums and magazines (print or otherwise) do fundamentally different things though. There's a lot of content on here that I'd love to read in a magazine, but is just buried in the noise.

All true, there is lots of other stuff going on, but collection threads, rebuilds and general reminisces are in a similar style to Jalopy stories written by the readers. tooSavvy and reb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. I don't see either as being a replacement for the other, more complimentary. Magazines are good because you don't need to filter through to find something interesting to read, someone's done that for you already. tooSavvy and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rml2345 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have both copies of Original Tin somewhere, having found Peter Conelrads excellent BL Tin website sometime before Autoshite. Pity it didn't get beyond the first two as I reckon it had great potential. chaseracer and catsinthewelder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Hayburner are struggling with rising costs, and I suspect there's rather a lot more money in the old vw scene than in the "Jalopy" target market - who would advertise in it?
