Writers and/or photographers?

[gtivr4]

Anyone on here an amateur writer or photographer?

As part of my senior year project in design, I am designing a car magazine devoted to affordable performance, kit cars and amateur motorsports (not so dissimilar from pistonheads). So I am looking for writers and photographers to help out (and who knows perhaps there is even opportunity for future employment, but no promises).

Amateur writer, yes. Emphasis on the adjective there.

Can we expect a exposé on the Hulme F1 ?

Sorry . . . I've now noticed where you stated "affordable performance"

I'm no good at writing articles but I can let you have a couple of ultra-hi-res digital studio photos (4064 x 2704) of my little kit-car if you're interested.

There is a low-res example on my Profile.

Best of luck with the project

Actually that might be quite useful.

Although it depends on what you consider "affordable" I suppose for its performance, the Westfield would be highly affordable, but its not a $5k 205 GTI either.

Would it be feasable to do a story on it? I would love to get a ride in one someday. I suppose you aren't going to be driving it to Dunedin though!

Cheers

Sorry but Dunedin is too far south and I'm afraid of the cold.

If you're ever in Auckland however just send me an e-mail (and make sure your life insurance is paid up).

I've actually promised another PHer an article so he's got first dibs (and I'm trying to get all the little wrinkles sorted so we can get this done before winter sets in)

If this is for a non-published assignment I'm sure something could be arranged . . . otherwise I know that nobody likes second place but it's the best I can do.

Just remember, cold air equals more horsepower!

When (if) I get up that way, I will definitely be in touch. Thanks!

Does that mean I can be second in queue? In Auckland, have Helmet, Will travel

[Kiwi XTR2]

Yep . . . but things like a self-incinerating voltage regulator are keeping me off the road at the moment

You'll be able to tell when it's all fixed by looking out the window . . . it will be ping down

Little snow never hurt noone

But yeah, same story with our e-type... sounds like it'll be hitting the roads mid-winter.... always the way

But that’s a double edged sword because of the change in the viscosity of air at low temperatures.

Which is entirely negligible because air is a gas. Think before you post, son.

If I can be of help e-mail me,but i think our car maybe off the scale,but would be happy to help if you consider a "side" article on high budget race cars,were in Mosgiel if that helps.
