KIPVW 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Nice little article on the three peaks Jim. just shows that a feature can be about anything and not just purely car. Get the notebooks out you lot :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 19, 2012 Well the link was the Scirocco there but I accept it was a bit tenuous! :) I wouldn't have written about it if I'd done it in a Land Rover or something! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Loving the period VW advert (a US one judging by the phone number on it). Edited December 19, 2012 by Portent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Loving the period VW advert (a US one judging by the phone number on it). Indeed, nice touch. Bought the A4 version at Stanford Hall a few years ago, now gracing the wall of my study. Yes, it is indeed a US advert, as also shown by the US-G60 on the picture :) Wouldn't know anyone who's got a US-G60 :lol: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 19, 2012 Loving the period VW advert (a US one judging by the phone number on it). Indeed. I'm hoping we don't get in hot water for that... but I figured it's only advertising the car, and too small for anyone to want to reproduce it to make a poster / make money out of it. I hope to include similar such pictures / adverts in future issues as a bit of a novelty :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Really? I never knew that... First time I hear it, too :lol: Those adverts are indeed a nice idea as a bit nostalgia. Was watching an old Karmann promo video last night that I had lying around dating back to when production of the Rado started, lots to Rado content and Schwebe in one scene :) Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billzeebub 1 Posted December 19, 2012 I am going to endeavour to be more proactive in 2013, attend some events and make a contribution to Sprinter. Was wondering if there was any chance of getting some more of the old Sprinters up on the CCGB site? I think it's important to keep the latest edition in paper, hard copy format, but it would be excellent to get some back issues up on there. I can only see 4 up on there currently... Not being very techy I am unsure as to how viable this would be to do on a larger scale? Easy or difficult? Or can I purchase back issues still, and who from if so?

Jim 1 Posted December 19, 2012 All the copies I've produced, it's very easy for me to export them in a 'friendly' format for electronic download. Older issues however will require hand scanning in of every issue, as well as cleaning them up and formatting them in such a way that they can be packaged up in the same sort of way. I believe Dave did start on this and I was pretty sure there were more Sprinter copies up on the website. I'll have to have a butchers when I get a few minutes over xmas!
