Airmighty #07 (currently at the printers, then will be bound, then packed & shipped to the shelves) will include coverage of the Great Canadian VW Show 2011!!!

6 glossy, thick pages!! 30 full colour, high res photos (27 by the very talented Alan Uyeno and 3 by my girl Lori)!! 500 word story (in 3 languages...english, german, french) covering all 3 days events (strip show & smc, cip1 breakfast, the cruise, the bp meet, and of course the big show & swap)!!

this one is going to be a keeper for sure!! we're talking vault status!! this issue also includes features from ebi4 and bad camberg, komori's black heb, and alot of other cool stuff!!

plus...it will have 2 seperate covers. 1 cover will be of the heb (for sale on the shelves) and 1 cover will be the limited edition collectors cover (see pic below...only available if you subscribe, a little pricey, but well worth it for the quality & content)...

check out the printing process of issue #07 here...

hopefully AVR will have these in stock when they become available (soon), so i recommend you contact them directly or pm number3 (rob frose) on the airspeed forum and tell him you want one!! or invest in some good reading for the next year (plus the cool limited edition cover) and subscribe!!

spread the word...tell all your friends, tell all the local clubs, let all the local acvw merchants know...make sure everyone gets a copy of #07!! let's sell this one out!!

for those not familiar with this magazine...it is a quarterly (4 issues per year), is printed on thick, glossy paper, usually runs about 160 pages per issue, covers events and cars from around the world from contributors around the world, is printed in 3 languages, and is the ACVW version of Rodders Journal!! quality is number one!! read more about it here...

*disclaimer* i have absolutely nothing to gain from this except the giddy feelings i get when i think about our local scene getting some wicked worldwide coverage in the best, highest quality magazine on the racks!!

I have contacted Airmighty to make sure we get enough copies for this issue. I will post as soon as I have confirmation of the number of issues they will send and when to expect them. PM me if you want on the waiting list.

jim martin · « **Reply #15 on:** March 03, 2012, 09:34:59 AM »

i thought this was really cool and something not many would know .last friday myself and Silas were talking about this mag and i mentioned that i never new someone from airmighty was over for the great cdn.what he told me was he was in contact with the magazine staff and in the end they used pictures that Alllan had taken and Silas gave all the details they would need to go with the photos as well as the weekends information .so congradulations to Silas for his effort and Allan for his photos .
3 gold stars for both of you

The Airmighty issue #7 was shipped out at the end of last week. I assume they should be at AVR in the next couple of weeks or sooner hopefully.

Good news. I have tracking numbers. Bad news is they link to the Dutch postal site. I can see they are coming but I can't understand anything else since my dutch is really poor........actually non existent.
