And Sam, you are the perfect caretaker for that car. <span style="font-size: 26pt"><span style="color: #CC0000">OUTSTANDING STORY !!!</span></span> |
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Sam..came home last night from a month long trip to Vzla to find HMM with your car on the cover. It put a big smile on my face. Very nice written story. Congrats to everyone who made this happened.

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
First, congratulations Linda. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
And, I finally got my copy in the mail. Very nice. Sam, you did an excellent job on telling the story. The pictures are awsome. We are very proud to have been a part of this story. Mike's right. The car couldn't have found a better keeper. Schonye PS, I'm not the fire chief. Just a hose holder. (don't think about it Howie) |

Mike~ I agree with you about Sam being the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 11pt"> perfect caretaker</span></span>!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Thanks everyone, but not completely retiring, just retiring from high pressure hospital work and moving into something a little less stressful. I am actually drooling while waiting to see this mag. Was going to subscribe to HMM months ago but never got around to it. Too preoccupied with surgery, retirement, and moving to a new job. Kicking myself in the butt now!! Can't find a copy anywhere but I'm still searching! Looking back though I can honestly say we've not had one regret about selling the car. It certainly got what it deserved and we couldn't be happier!! Congratulations Sam, you deserve it! So impressed that YOU GOT THE COVER!!!!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Earl and Linda,
Let me know if you cannot find a copy and I will send you one. I have an extra copy and there is no more fitting place for it to be. Nice cover shot everyone! Looks beautiful. |

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Rick, What a nice offer, just reinforces what a great site with great people this is! I'm sure I'll be able to find a copy soon though, just so impressed with your generosity! Any tips on what stores carry this mag? Can't find any in this one horse town and every store that I've called out of town hasn't received their new issues yet. Keeping my car running in the driveway so I can head out as soon as I get a phone call from one of them. lol Thanks again Rick!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
I wish Tommy,I can't compete. I am just a blowfly from Souderton. Maybe Benny?

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Sammy, I called HMM and they said you can be on the "back cover"... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Sam I got my copy yesterday, and I was very happy to see you get the cover story about your car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I did notice one thing. Do you get paid by Hemmings for writing the articles, or do you pay them to get your cars in the magazine? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Either way, your cars, and the stories that go with them are fantastic. Great work!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Car looks tough...........!!!!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Finally gave up trying to find a copy locally. I just called HMM directly and ordered some copies....should be here in three days!

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Linda, look at the detail shots in the Pavillions post (lounge section) that Rick posted!
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Got it at the end of last week & meant to comment. very cool article . Congrats on the cover !!!
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
My copy showed up in the mail yesterday and it was the first thing I opened up too. I have heard about beating your own drum, but I was quite impressed to see that Sam wrote the article and that it was one of the better written articles I have read in quite a while. Congrats on one of the best looking examples of a day 2 street beast!!!!!!
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Sometimes beating your own drum is the only way to get things heard. Nothing wrong with beating the drum as long as you can still put your hat on and it fits......Sam did a great job on this one!
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Sam, I haven't seen the article yet but I'm sure it's well done like the others you have written. Congrats! This is one of the nicest Day 2 cars out there.

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Finally got to read the article, great job Sam. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img] I also picked up a couple extra copies for any paid member that is not able to locate one, just shoot me a PM. by the way, I don't recall anyone asking yet, sooooo...... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img] |
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Just got done reading the article too. Excellent job Sam! Start to finish it was a great read. The way you ended it had a nice subtle nudge to encourage more Day 2 coverage. I hope it catches on, but am fearful that it never will since Day 2 parts really benefit only a few of the advertizers. None-the-less, I trust you are proud of the coverage and cudos for giving the stry such depth. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]

Chris/Paul - appreciate the feedback! I hope it catches on too. As I recently mentioned here, this whole day-two thing will be made or broken by feedback from the readers. So, send your comments to Terry McGean, the HMM editor tmcgean@hemmings.com and let him know what you think!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] That sure IS a nice thing to do Chris! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img] |
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Emailed Terry my comments. Hope it helps! Might even get published. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Sam, our copies finally arrived this morning. Can't tell you how impressed we are!!! The article is BEAUTIFULLY written.

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Very well written article. Love the day 2 look. Love the stock look also. I'am glad you included both in the story. Jeff's photos are great as always.

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
My Day 2 Letter, as well as Rick Nelson's, were published in the "letters" column under "Day 2 Disciples" in the April '11 HMM issue.

Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Keep up that imput Rick. Sam and guys like you are driving that big truck right into the Promise Land of Day-2 and we will be riding with ya's!
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Can't get enough of the Day II stuff and the Deuce really got my blood flowing again. Annie and I are dying to build a Day II car that we can have fun with.
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
I know what you mean Rick. Even guys like you tire of the lawn ornaments I bet! Drive em, have some fun and then clean em!
|
Re: Congrats to Sam (Mockingbird812) and Schoeny!
Rick & Rick - congrats on getting your letters published in HMM [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]. Terry (editor) knew that I had encouraged my sYc buds to comment on the day 2 stuff and you guys must have grabbed his attention - way to go!!
BTW - Terry said he received plenty of other unsolicited (non-sYc) letters too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] <span style="font-style: italic">Keep up that imput Rick.
