FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

I Take car magazines to the hospital, Hot Rod, Street Rodder, Good Guy Gazette and V/8 Times. I am told that the V/8 times gets stolen first. The Times promotes the club and is good advertising for us

I wonder what liability issue arises when you give someone a car magazine to read? Unbelievable. My doctor doesn't see a liability issue when I leave my magazines at his office. I think if someone told me that, I would ask them to tell what exactly was the liability. This liability stuff has gone over the edge. The biggest liability is too many lawyers.

I save all my magazines throughout the "off season", and when I attend one of the larger car shows I place them on the tailgate of my "Woodie" and offer them to people for free. I figure it's one way to promote interest in our hobby. On the subject of donating them, I tried several places in my area to donate hundreds of auto related magazines and was told that they could not accept them for "liability" issues. I guess someone would get a paper cut and sue them!

I tried to send old magazines via media mail and the post office said they don't qualify because they have advertising in them. With weights over 20 pounds, I find FedEx or USPS cheaper. And I, like Kube, got about $5 per year.

I agree that back issues do not have a lot of value. One of the things you can do with back issues is donate them. Our older generation who are in nursing homes or veteran's facilities would probably enjoy them immensely and it will bring back a lot of memories for them. The other thing you can do is give them to young people who are just getting started in the hobby. It can have a great impact on keeping the hobby alive. When you go to a car show you can hand them out to potential new members or kids who are at the show with parents or grandparents. Good PR for the Club and it generates some great conversation. I also belong to "Goodguys" and I take those magazines to the doctor's office. Guys need something to read besides "People" magazine or "Good Housekeeping". It's funny because when I go for the next visit the "Goodguys" mag is gone but the old "People" and "Good Housekeeping" are still there. I mentioned this to my doctor one day and he said that the good magazines somehow "grow legs" and walk out of the office. Anyway just some ideas on what to do with your old V-8 Times.

Hey Super,

When I advertised my issues on eBay, the rosters were included with the respective years. Still, little to no interest, even at $1 per complete year.
I think there are simply too many collections "out there" to make these have any significant monetary value.
