I'm happy to see any coverage. They probably send a full camera crew to most of the bigger events but in this case there was just Doug. I also think that the best photo oportunity was missed when the drags got rained out. At least Chevy Rumble was there. I think the other magazines have forgotten that the "W" engine ever existed. My local magazine stand gets Chevy Rumble but it's not in yet. :cuss

CR Coverage

Hello again tribe, if I'm not mistaken, the "new" issue of CR was to be dedicated to tri-fives and our coverage sorta' stepped on their parade a bit. I'm sure they don't mind too much (right, Adam) ;)

Doug just wants to make an effort to put as much ink forward on "W" stuff as he can and still please the masses. He knew that we would be anxious, watch for more coverage!

Take care one and all :hug

May I speak?

I do post a bit of advice in the 348/409 engine section. In the feature article (of which I am very proud) It say's that the machine shop rebuilt my engine. I respectfully submit that the machine shop did the machining on my engine. I did the rebuild on my 409 engine from the carbs to the pan.

As much as we love our cars and engines,,,,, we are a minority,,, :cry

BUT,,, WE ARE A LEGEND and legends deserve coverage,,,did I just go back to square one,,,,

Hey DQ... at least you were THERE ( and everybody else who was there, KNOWS THAT :cool: ) :bow

Me ? I have to read about it... and listen to you guys :cry

However... at least I found a sourse for the magazine ! Actually, my daughter, who is living 360 KM away in Edmonton, found it in a book store. She's going to pick up a couple copies for me :deal :brow

Trouble is, DQ, that this doesn't correct the problem of having missed the "Innaugral 348-409 Convention" :dunno .
First time is always the most memorable :love

Oh well, before too long here, I'll be working on a "big package" which should help compensate for not being there ;)

I`m just sitting here this morning eating my crow breakfast !! BIG TIME !!heee heee

I owe a BIG apology to Doug Marion. Please, please forgive me !!

I just read the articles last night that Doug wrote on the Convention, the cars, people that were there, the engine build up and this is the conclusion I came to.

Doug`s knowledge of our cars and engines and his unique ability to transfer this knowledge to words made that coverage seem like it was the whole issue !

Doug seemed to somehow inject the magic that was in the air into his words and bring back those great feelings that had us all walking on air !

I believe that this also could be felt by the people that missed being there or are just reading the articles.

Writers write but Doug is a magician !! He had me mesmerized through all of the articles and in my opinion did more for the convention and our cars in just those pages of Chevy Rumble then anything I have read to date!!

I can`t wait to see the follow ups

My humble? hat is off to Doug and Chevy Rumble,,,,,

Please accept my heartfelt apology,,, dq

I finally purchased a copy of Chevy Rumble. I can tell you that I am very pleased with the coverage. I was only able to attend on Friday. I guess missed alot of the cars that were in the articles/Day Automotive and so on. The coverage helped fill in the stuff that I missed!!!! Look foreward to more coverage in upcomming months.

Hats off to Chevy Rumble!!!!!! :clap

DVD's and CHEVY RUMBLE!!!!

Paul............yes we have all kinds of DVD's and VHS tapes!!! In fact, I pick up another batch tomorrow or Friday. They are $39.95 for either plus $7.95 S&H Priority Mail. And yes, they can go to Alaska!!!! I'm sending you a PM about that. We are coming back up there this summer on the Harley's!!!!!!!! :clap :clap

I just received a call from Buckaroo Communications this morning..........they finally found me some extra copies of the Feb/Mar issue!!!! I'm getting 50 more copies in about a week. So if anyone needs a copy or extras, let me know. I have about 20 to sell. They are $6 plus $2 for mail. I can't believe it's taken this long to get more!!!! But at least we are getting them.

If anyone wants a DVD or tape, just drop me an email with your complete address.

Thanks.
