Title: OK, OK, VMX Issue #45 is not far away now...
Post by: AjayVMX on March 08, 2011, 02:37:59 pm
I can't believe it's three months already...  but it is.  :o

So that must mean we're due to publish another copy of VMX, right?  Yep, here's the cover preview...

(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-7/1052255/VMX45FrontCover.jpg)

And for those of your who haven't renewed your subscription yet, NOW is the time to do so!!!  Remember it's cheaper than buying it in single copies...  ;D

Oh and this time, the eBay Pre-Sale is up earlier as well for those that do buy single copies.  ;)

Alison,
Just remember that Ajay is a Rock God and they never hit the sack before 4.30am. It would ruin his cred if he got an early night!!!

Just shows how efficient the international postage system is...  :o

... and how slow the Aussie Post "print post" system is.  >:(

The problem is it's no longer Aussie Post it's India Post. I recently had a pipe sent all the way back to America because the post contractor who would have been in the country all of three months couldn't see the metre square sign on the fence with not only the street number but also the street name.
I am still trying to get the pipe back from the states, it's been four months now.

Arrived in Darwin today ;D I now need somewhere to hide for the afternoon!

Viper, I know what you mean. A pair of goggles CLEARLY marked "Australia" were sent to Auckland.
Correct hemisphere I suppose ::)

Ditto to my Husky loving mate,mine was waiting for me when I arrived home to my Sandringham (not the castle) abode here in Auckalofa (largest Polynesian city in the world)-yes even bigger than Campbelltown.
Great work guys!!

Terrific issue chaps. I especially enjoyed  the Penda and Flink articles. I love those blokes who don't follow the leader. The 414 Monty and Moto Villa articles appealed to my sense of the unusual. Ditto the Can-Am. Is it me or is the colour saturation turned up a notch? The mag seems more...errrr, colourful ;D.
Once again, VMX#45 makes the opposition look a tad pale in comparison. My only (slight) criticism is the cover which I think looks a bit too much like a Christmas card and would have been suited for the Christmas issue ;D. Other than that insignificant little thing.....great.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.  Maybe the cover should be called "Christmas in March"  ::)

With regard to the timing of when people receive the magazine, there's almost nothing we can do about it...  other than hold back the release of the magazine to the newsagents, which wouldn't really help anyone.

As time has gone on, the Australian Print Post system (which is used to distribute large mailings) has become more inconsistent, while the newsagent distribution has become more and more efficient.  :o

Funnily enough, the international subscribers often get their copies earlier than some Aussies as well, because the international mailing system is also very efficienct now.  ???
