What kind of story are you looking for? Like something new that you haven't had many times before?

I'd like to make a general suggestion if I may for additional interesting content.

Would it be a good idea of seeing who may be interested in a section such as 'Club Projects' ? - could be anything from restorations to mechanical upgrades or improvements that members are doing to their cars with pre and post reviews on the products or the outcome of the changes.

The mag is great for events and club happenings but not a huge abundance of project related info. A lot of us like to live somewhat vicariously through others. :)

Suggestions are good, but I think the proven way to get a suggestion like that going is to submit some content yourself.  You've got some great photos and narration of your approach to restoration, if you threw a bit of it together every couple of months I'm sure it'd be of great interest and encourage others to submit more material for that section.

If the magazine is happy to have a retrospective article or series of articles on the works this far then I'd happily be willing to contribute. How's your project looking for contribution?

We could also get Dave Thomas and Bertie onboard - that was an idea brought up by Phil some time ago.

I was just thinking the same thing.  Everybody on this board is bored of photos of my car, but the magazine reaches a whole bunch of people that aren't online so I should do similar.

Hi Frank,
I would be keen on any content to do with Alfas. Owner stories are always interesting. Stories on newer model cars, modified cars are especially welcome.
Best Regards

Hi Pancho,
Technical and restoration articles are particularly sought please. These are very highly regarded but unfortunately scarce.
