It's a half page add, asking for people to write their own reviews etc for a new feature. It includes a couple of little pictures of previous magazines. One is this years GTI special opened on the page that yours was on.
This is what the email (and the add) said.
Volkswagen drivers wanted!
For a new regular series, in the pages of Volkswagen Driver magazine every month, we’re looking for a cross-section of VW owners to write in with their own experiences of driving Volkswagens, or any models from the other Volkswagen Group marques for that matter.
Ideally, we’re looking for the sort of first-hand anecdotal feedback that was featured earlier this year in the GTI Special issue (July 2012) or the T5 Special issue (November 2012)
Whether you want to write about your previous history of driving Volkswagens, or a detailed account of your current model, it’s up to you. There’s no limit on the number of words; your account can be short or long, and it doesn’t have to be perfectly written, as we'll sub-edit it and get back to you to check any details or ask for additional information if required.
It is quite important, though, that it is accompanied by a small selection of good quality photos to illustrate the item, either conventional colour prints sent by post, or a couple of high-resolution (approx 1 Mb is ideal) digital images by e-mail or on CD.
So, if you’d like to share your VW driving experiences with other readers and see your car featured in an internationally published magazine, then please write to us or e-mail: vwdrivers@autometrix.co.uk
Don’t forget to include your full name and postal address, so that we can send you a copy when it is published.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Neil Birkitt
Editor, Volkswagen Driver magazine
