Does anyone know what happened to the Magazine ????
p84 :fastcar:
I hope Matt (the publisher) will not mind my speaking for him here. Matt's family has had some serious health-related issues lately, and he has been slow to get the next issue out, which I completely understand. I spoke with him on the phone last week, he is planning on the next issue soon (has not gone to printer yet), but his time is limited. I am actually working on another article for him right now, I plan to get it to him by early next week. He told me he needed some additional material, and being in the midst of restoration, I am happy to submit.
PLEASE keep Matt and his family in your prayers. I told him his personal life is FAR more important than the magazine. Certainly I would like to have another issue, but when things like this crop up, it's hard to stay at. Add to that the fact that he has only 19!!!! subscriptions (people, my goodness, this group has 5,000 members? Where ARE you??), it's a LOT of work for such a ridiculously small subscription base. Just don't know what else to say here, it's a wonderful piece of work, and CHEAP to boot....
That's what I know about it, hope that helps. Matt, you are being prayed for.

19!! :o :o ??? ??? Hard to believe, I would have guessed closer to 100....where are all of the diehard Pinto fans??
I can't believe it!!! all that work and effort and only 19 subscribers!!! I sent extra just to make sure the mag made it. A lot of talk and no action from the Pinto "lovers"!!! Send me an address and I'll send some $ just in appreciation of his effort. COME ON SUBSCRIBE!!! ONCE MONTH - 2 TIMES A YEAR - ONCE A YEAR-WHO CARES?
Where can you get a subscription? If it was just in a thread, those things tend to disapear. Is there a website for the paper? Do they sell old copies? If more wil be made, maybe the information should be posted again. And how much for a subscription? Do they post adds?
I have been in touch with Matt recently, in fact I sent a msg today asking how progress is going. He had planned to get another issue out soon, but I've yet to hear what is going on.
Once I hear from him I will ask him to send out a message (I'm sure he will anyway) concerning this.

Im thinking that if the magazine isnt stable that might scare people off.Im not saying that Matt isnt doing his best (under the circumstances),i was thinking maybe some one else should take over or help out and make it a sure thing.Id subscribe to it in a minute if i knew for sure id recieve what i sent away for.Someone tell me where youre supposed to mail to for a subscription,oh,by the way,im Canadian.Also would like to buy some back issues...Thanks....Mark
Interesting, I actually heard from Matt tonite, he is working on the next issues and is going to contact me at the end of the week. Should be out soon, folks.

The next issue of Pinto Times is being put together as we speak, and with luck will go to the printer within the next ten days. I still don't have a great cover car...I may have to use one of my own...
YES!! YES!! YES!!
