hiya, check it out!! I'm so excited and anxious at the same time:

http://www.rccdigizine.com

You're probably wondering what a digizine is. Well, let's just say you can go anywhere in the world and find your issue of RCC-D. If stores close early in your town, you don't have to worry because you can get the digizine 24 hours a day. Best of all, IT'S FREE!!!

What's the catch? well, I'm going to be honest with you all. There is none.

This is truly a magazine for the true rotary hobbyist. There is no money involved so you won't have to worry about not getting an issue and, even though it's new, we won't make you pay up front for 4 issues. Just click, download, and enjoy the rotary eye-candy.

A few articles that you will find in our Magazine:

-KaiFD3s - Our featured car and owner. Can't get more fanatic than Kai and his RE-A beauty

-A special celebrity rotary surprise

-7's day in Japan with the Scoot 4-rotor FD and many MANY more articles.


Feel free to ask any questions in this thread. I hope you all are as anxious and excited as the rest of the forum is.

Peace,
Hassell

P.S. If you like what you read just send the link to a friend. It truly is for the hobbyists BY the hobbyists. I'm very proud of the first issue and I hope you enjoy it. Also, I'll be posting and hosting quite a few South Bay events in the coming months so keep an eye out.

Not bad, I noticed a few grammatical mistakes and the formatting/layout could be better, but for a first try, it's pretty good. Good job. :cool:

THANKS for the responses. It's been a crazy week so far. As far as the grammatical errors, I can only promise to minimize their occurrences in future issues.

We put this together in a few months and we did well for such short notice, everyone came through and hooked us up with great pics and articles (we didn't even use them all!). I'm working on streamlining the submission-to-publishing system to minimize the number of errors and maybe try and get this magazine out more than once per quarter!

We've received over 1500 views so far and it keeps increasing!!

Thanks for helping spread the word. As things pick up and as my car reaches completion I'll be able to attend more BAROTARY events and maybe even get some articles going about DON and his awesome events for the local automotive enthusiasts!

Again, thanks for the replies and if you notice anything (like grammatical errors and anything else) don't hesitate to mention them. We cannot learn from our mistakes if nobody points them out to us. It's actually very much appreciated!! Keep the comments coming!!

Also, if you see us at 7stock just stop and say hi.

damn, that IS a cool layout. I'll mention it to the layout guys. I can't promise anything since I only do a few articles for them but I'll mention it and show it to them. I like it. Thanks!

well, the layout apparently won't change too much since the layout guys don't have the software to make it happen (remember, contrary to popular beliefs, we're all doing this for free and don't have any funds to buy anything other than what we already have). Ppl know though, if we are able to get the right programs in the future then you will see the digizine evolve.

Good news: 2500 downloads in less than 2 weeks! The readers are out there and apparently they like it. Thanks to all who have helped by letting others know. It's much appreciated.

How about a "marketplace" department, discussing resale values of specific models, recent sales, etc. not to be confused with a classifieds section
