Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

I checked today... I sent my check 2/22/02. Brian, I don't remember a seeing a decent article in either Chevy High Performance or Super Chevy in the last year although my reading is limited to thumbing through them at the grocery store now. They take about 30 seconds apiece. I have a subscription to Chevy Rumble but it's crap also. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

I'm pulling for this magazine to do well since Primedia pulled the plug on Muscle car review. Just bought mine from ebay and I'm looking forward to starting my collection of Musclecar Power. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

O.K., Since I didn't subscribe I also just bought 1 on Ebay. Maybe this will help generate some funds if that's the hold up. Will see how long it takes to arrive.

Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

Well said, we supported with our $$$ when there was nothing.

Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

I may get mine faster if I buy it on ebay! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

..I ordered ( 2 )subscriptions...( 1 ) for my brother's birthday ( which was in August ) and ( 1 ) for myself...we're both looking forward to the magazine. Which I feel will be worth the wait. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Tom Shaw's Magazine
 

I sent tom an email, and he replied quickly. He assured me he had my order and it has been sent out. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Roger

A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Guys,

The following is a message that Tom asked me to forward to all of you regarding the magazine and EBay sales.

"Gentlemen,

Please understand that the issues for sale in eBay were posted AFTER all subscriber issues were sent. Getting the first issue complete, and sent was my first priority. After I got the print order back from the printer, I began a 3-day (and night) process of stuffing and labeling envelopes. 10 tubs of magazines were delivered to the mailing company for sorting, bagging and processing. During this time I posted the issues on eBay - once all other work to get the subscriber copies was complete. Also, please remember how eBay works - once a transaction is complete, buyers send in their payment, then, after checks clear, items are shipped via the SAME Postal System handling subscriber copies! Ebay buyers are not getting special treatment while faithful subscribers do without. Come on guys. -Tom"


Tom "reviews" the site. So please don't sacrifice me to the Musclecar Gods. I am merely attempting to help the process out.

Casey.

All I know is "I still don't have a copy!!" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]Jim (must be getting a little grumpy due to the dreary continuous rain the last couple of days! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img])

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

I GUESS ALOT OF THEM GOT LOST IN THE MAIL SOMEWHERE!!!!MY CHECK MADE IT BACK TO MY BANK LAST APRIL THOUGH.I DON'T REALLY EXPECT THE MAGAZINE TO SHOW UP NOW, I WILL JUST CONSIDER IT ANOTHER RIP OFF. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Magazine class takes time guys. Be patient.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Casey...Maybe you can persuade Tom to check in here and Post something to reassure the fine Folks that are trying to support him.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

I have, and will continue to ask Tom to do that Charley. I too, think it is important for Tom to personally respond to his supporters. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Just got an e-mail from Tom Shaw regarding my new subscription and he says I should have it within 30 days. It would be a shame to lose a magazine before it got started.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Just arrived in the mail today. The magazine is worth the wait. Just opened it up and looked it over. Have heard of others getting theirs as well. I hope everyone has their issue soon...BKH[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Received mine today also, just skimmed through it. Looks like it was worth the wait, can't wait till the end of the evening to just sit and read it. Wes

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Got (2) of them in the mail today, must have ordered them twice. First Class all the way. The Pictures of the cars are Exceptional--Very detailed. The articles are interesting and written by people that know about cars.. Every car at the Pure Stock Drag Race had a picture of their cars and a write-up (NOT just a select few) Too bad it was the Only year I missed going.. Oh yea I especially like the Cover Car!! The magazine was worth the wait and I wish them Good Luck with it. Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Received the one I bought off Ebay in todays mail. Looks like it will be interesting reading. Lots of good pics. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

69rsz gets his that he ordered off of ebay and I still have not received mine. Paid for March 2002. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
No offense 69rsz....

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Still don't have mine, "acumen".

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

No offense taken. I did pay extra for priority mail so this may have made a difference. I was pleasantly surprised that I received 3 email updates from Tom during the coarse of our transaction and the impression I got was that he was sincere and did exactly what he promised. I would imagine that everyone would receive theirs soon. Just my opinion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

I think Tom should give everyone who mailed in Payment between Jan.02-June 02 a free years subscribtion.Meaning they are already compt.for the year 04.Or at least a Free T-shirt included.
Seems fair as he held onto our payment for almost a full year,while someone who can bid on one on Ebay this month recieved their issue already and ahead of most everyone else... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Obviously, Tom Shaw has either small feet or a large mouth, as the former seems to have fit very easily into the latter.

Still don't have mine either [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Stefano has it right, a definite lack of business acumen [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Richard, my apologies also, as this is NOT directed at you [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Maybe we should consider that our early payments helped Tom invest his time, efforts, AND his own money to get this magazine off the ground. If it's as good as we all hope, we will have had a part in it. Helping in the success of a magazine so many have been crying for should be comp enough, IMO.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Mike, I like you. I look forward to having a beer with you at scr6, even if they only have rolling rock.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Mike,

A little good natured grumbling aside, I don't think anyone here has a real problem with it taking so long for the magazine to come out. Look back at the timeline on the posts here. The real P&M started when the thing became available on eBay before the vast majority of "Charter Subscribers" had received their issues. That's where he crossed the line! You could see it coming last week, and sure enough, it's now documented right here that eBay buyers have received theirs before subscribers. Wrong, plain & simple.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

I hear you, but.... As far as "acumen", that's what the magazine is doin'. It's a cum in! Be patient. If it sucks, Shor will refund your money. You'll just have to take it in Rolling Rock that he steals from BKH.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Not getting the magazine in the hands of those who were there from the begining prior to listing, selling and shipping off ebay is bad business plain and simple, no matter how good the magazine may be. It is not the $$$$'s at issue it is the principle.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]i got mine 2/18/03, well worth the wait, size pictures, edited nicely. Brian Henderson did a great job on helping Tom Shaw with the yenko article. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Got mine and it's really a slick magazine.....Stefano maybe if you lived where there was postal service you would get yours.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

My Mopar magazines are never late.

I guess its personal now. Could it be that he doesn't like me [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'll just have to come over your place to read it.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Still don't have mine but would you believe I still signed up for a 2 year subscription?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Jim

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Jim
That means you have to wait for 2 years.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

I am beginning to think his problems might be with whomever he has contracted for his mailing service. Sounds like the product is ready but can't get shipped!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] At least trying to give him the benefit of the doubt!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Maybe those more fortunate could "hand me down" their copies when finished! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Jim

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Received mine yesterday Jim. But I'm probably closer to the central postal distribution. You'll probably get yours today. That's what you get for living out in the sticks.

Kevin, it is good to know the Pony Express still makes its way to the end of the world! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]Jim

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

Stop by anytime Stefano....its reall a nice looking magazine.

Re: A Message from Tom Shaw
 

I subscribed through their website about ten days ago and got my first issue today, pretty good service if you ask me. However, I do sympathize with those that paid last year and haven't received theirs yet. Looking forward to browsing the pages [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
