Title: PerformanceVW mag, they no love us
Post by: jv on 14 February 2004, 16:20
Just got the March 04 PVW magazine. Top read as always but I am starting to thing they don't love us :( There is a whole page devoted to 'webmasters forum special' and do we feature? No - siree.

I mean obviously the big boys like ClubGTI and Edition38 are on the list but Dub-Club (no offence meant in the slightest) get a mention and not us! Don't 340,000 hits in Jan 04 count for anything?

Never even managed to get www.golfgti.co.uk listed in their 'web listings' either :( Could we have a more obvious web address?

Humpf.

Speeking of mags, Has anyone see the MK2 golf 1.6 AUTOMATIC! in the last issue of REVS??? A 2 tone paint job with the most ugly bodykit, shaved handles and sitting on a stock engine with an AUTO Tranny! YUCK!!  :-X  And whats worst is its owned by a Writer in the mag! I would of hoped working with cars would of made him capable of making a good car!

Title: Re:PerformanceVW mag, they no love us
Post by: jasonpi on 15 February 2004, 14:28
email sent aswell ;D
tell me what you think


just to let you know that this site is one of the best golf websites there is and to my knowledge you have not featured the website in your magazine. I personally would recommend you do so as they alone have had 300,000 hits just for January.
I would even say that the site is much more friendlier than some of the well known golf sites.
hope to see www.golfgti.co.uk in your magazine in the near future.
kind regards

Hi i know i'm new here but i think its damn cool and alot less pretentious than the other so called VW forums. So to show that we are all worthy i am going to send an email, a letter and i might even phone them to tell them that we are here and we are proud, We will fight on the beaches and we will never surrender!!!! And that they should do a 2-4 page spread on the site and invite all of its followers.......

Long live GOLFGTI.CO.UK  and God bless us one and all.


Oh my god it's happening again!
P.S My pictures are coming soon.

Post by: AdamB on 17 February 2004, 12:40

Sent an e-mail myself as below.

As a regular reader of your magazine and an avid VW Golf fan for about 20 years, I have to say that I am disappointed that as yet you have not mentioned the www.golfgti.co.uk site and forum. You mention other sites, but I must say as a new member that this site is friendly, full of VW golf nuts and a credit to it's administrators. There is a link on the golfgti.co.uk homepage to your magazine, so come on PVW, lets reciprocate and give it the mention it deserves. Thanks.

After all this there must be a mention in a forthcoming publication or I'll eat a corsa nut by nut !!.......or at least a snickers bar nut by nut !
