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.

Well thanks everyone for the replies. I will see if there is any local interest in them, if not off to the green can they will go.

Several years ago I tried to donate boxes of automotive related magazines to my local library, hospital and nursing homes. All told me the same thing, "We can't accept them because of insurance reasons". I asked, "What's going to happen, someone get a paper cut and sue you", they just wouldn't accept them. It must be a New York thing because I finally donated them to the Speedway Museum in Lincoln NE. Now I do what 1934 does and give them away at car shows to kids and people that are interested.

Other suggestions over the years has been to take and place them in Care Facilities, barber shops, dentist and doctor offices.
You will be surprised how much the older generation (oh, that could also be us) really appreciate seeing pictures of vehicles that they remember from their lives.

I have been a subscriber for 40+ years and save some of the issues with articles I'm especially interested in,
including my own articles and stuff about 1934 Fords.
Otherwise I take them to car events and give them away to people who are interested in Early Ford V8's and
are to cheap to subscribe or are new to the hobby. Like National Geographics they are timeless and don't
age out with time. I still have some from 1972 and even bought some older issues about 1934 Fords.

Lots of looks but no comments. This question has been posted here before, and as I recall, there is not much, if any value or interest. I think they are like old National Geographic Magazines that we collect, they end up in recycle. Just my opinion.

I have been cleaning out my garage and have about 40 issues(maybe more) of V8 times ranging from mid 80's to early 2000's that I had saved from being thrown away after my wifes grandpa passed away. Also a few years of member rosters.

Is there any interest out there for these? They all range from poor condition to pretty good depending on where they were on the shelf relative to the workbench. Not looking to make money off them and would hate to see them go waste.
