Just starting work on our annual GTI Special issue, for publication before GTI International, and I'm looking for a few Mk 6 GTI ( or R ) owners who'd like to write a first-hand report about their own GTI + supply a few good digital pics that we can make into a mini-article (or maybe even a major article..? Don't have to be radically modded or show cars (although that doesn't exclude them...), daily drivers are just as welcome
For more info, please email me with a bit of basic info / sample pic at Neil.Birkitt@autometrix.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you :)

email sent :D

I did this last year and it was great to see my car in print along with my old MK2. If anyone is up for meeting up to do a photo shoot en masse then I'd be up for it, this way we may stand a better chance of a "major" article.

You mean like the R meet we had a few weeks back :wink:

Yeah something like that!
-
I'd be up for something like that, as long as it isn't too much of a trek from me.

My outlaws live in Newton le willows so I can be in Wigan in 20 minutes!
-
winner!
I'll give you a shout when I've arranged to take some shots
-
I'm only in Horwich and I would be interested :smiley:
-
I'd be up for that! as should be up in Bolton for a weekend in a couple of weeks. also can bring my camera and a few lenses.
Wouldn't mind to do a write up but would need to find some time to actually sit down and do something constructive. lol
-
I also did it last year and was amazed to see my ED35 in it... :smiley:
-
I could think of plenty of things to say about my GTI, but I doubt they'd get published :tongue:

I've only had one Mk 6 GTI owner write in about their car so far, so hopefuly you can find time to make a few notes – doesn't need to be anything elaborate, just anecdotal comments plus a couple of decent pics. I'll sub-edit it and check any details ;)

I'll scribble something down in the next couple of days :wink: and get a few shots of the car over to you
I would also be up for a mini meet somewhere and get some group shots for the article :cool:

Just sent you an email :smiley:

ahh nice.
did Neil send you a copy of the magazine?
-
Yes sir, great magazine :smiley:

Appears we have a double pager :)

Obbzi, thanks for the pics mate.
turns out, my copy arrived yesterday but went to next door! crazy ass post man.
really pleased with my feature. all the cars look great.
pretty impressed with the magazine as well. to be honest I don't really bother much with mags, being active on so many forums. but I found it to be really informative. I'd like to say I'd buy it in future, but there's isn't actually anywhere in wigan that sells it! I'd have to travel to either preston or warrington to make a purchase. so who knows.
big thanks to Neil for the opportunity.

If you subscribe anuualy you normally get it posted, I'm going to look into it :smiley:

You can download it digitally via PocketMags. Choice of monthly, 6 month or yearly subscription. I do it issue by issue, so only download and pay for the issues I'm interested in. Only gripe is that publication of digital version seems to lag behind paper version. As said you can also do same but get it posted instead.

Your cars looked good in the VD mag. I have to say I preferred the Mk2 section tho'. :grin:
