OK, we are nearly ready to release the first Issue of the brand new ScoobyNews CD Magazine.

It will contain the LONG requested ScoobyNet technical archives (and others, depending on how much space it takes up).

The planned features are :-

- Lift-off-oversteer workshop
- A regular Don Palmer slot (first edition - a new look at vanishing points (yes I thought I knew it all as well! ))
- The Full high quality footage from the "rsquire's 22B sideways bruntingthorpe day"
- Scooby vs Challenger (we will test a challenging car or marque against the scooby in each issue - this will be completely unbiassed I'm affraid!)
- Techniques Section (Each issue will have a new technique explained in a way suitable specifically for the scoob)
- Set-up guide (again, specifically for the scoob, explanations and in-depth analysis of what different mods ACTUALLY do for the scoob)
- Product Tests
- Sound Files (What does a ScoobySport back box sound like on a 97 RA ? What does Detination sound like? etc, etc.

And much much more!

The issues will be quarterly, and Issue 1 should be available this side of xmas.

There will be a special feature (hopefully we'll get it into issue 1), called "Thread of the Millennium Awards!!" ( ) Send us your nominations (Stef's monumental RS thread!, John Felstead's "how to run your car in in 3 minutes", etc) then we will be taking votes online. The poster of the winner will be included on the for prosperity!

So that we can judge the demand, could you let me know if you would be interested in buying this, and you could even give me an idea of the sort of price you would consider reasonable if you like?

All the best

Simon

 

I'd have one price could be £5 - £10 depending on weather its run on gold cds or proffesionally run off ie silver discs and covers etc.

 

Will it include a list of P1-WR's famous threads......cause if it doesn't "I'M NOT INTERESTED"

Seriously put me down for one.

 

would that be a 5 spoke gold one...

name the price Si...I'm sure it will be reasonable...and equally I'm sure there will be loads of interest...

Cheers

Rum

 

Via annual subscription - £20 pa - roughly the same as buying EVO every month

oh - Yes - would like to see it

 

Put me down for 1 too.

Mark

 

Yay !! even my requested sound files got on there

Sounds absolutely excellent, I'd probably pay 30 quid for this, but I don't think thats reasonable

I'd go with Sammyh, as long as it's below £10 then it'd be a bargain.

Gary

 

Put me down for one as well Simon. I'll make sure the cheque isn't lost in the post this time

Chris

 

£10 a quarter is not a lot to pay. I'd go for it at that price. However, I know you have to at least cover your costs. What's the ball park price you're thinking of?

Ohh too excited forgot a couple of things -

I vote for the Stef V RS thread (hilarious), and maybe some stuff from the muppet forum

Any chance of selling some kind of cool storage case in the Scoobynet shop for all the CD's (Maybe a fabric foldout one embroidered with scoobynet, or a brushed aluminium one with scoobynet printed on it ?)

I am such a bleedin sucker for cunning storage furniture

Gary

 

Something like tenner seems fair enough with me, just let us know when it is ready

 

Yes please Simon Under £10 seems about right!

 

Count me in - £10 or so sounds fair enough.

Anything that will stop me looking stupid posting questions that everyone else already knows the answer to has got to be a winner.

 

I'll have one as well.
CJ

 

Count me in!

 

Go for it Simon, definately interested. It's great to see that you don't stand still and always on the lookout to take Scoobynet to new heights....

Keep up the good work,
Nito

 

sounds good! count me in

 

Yes please!!

 

Yes please I'll have a copy.

Mark

 

£5 to £10 sounds good.

Will Internet ordering with a Credit Card be an option (rather than using Ludite cheque type thing-ies) .

Cheers,

Chris.

 

Count me in Simon please. Under a tenner sounds good to me.

Mark

 

Ill take one - not worried about price.

 

Yes please

 

Yes please, £10.00 or there abouts sounds OK.

 

I'll have some of that.

 

Hi All!

Wow! Great response guys thank you! Makes it worth all the hard work!

Price wise...
The price of £10 will have to be the absolute minimum we could afford to sell them for. Orriginally we were thinking of £15 in order to cover costs and allow a a few quid towards the running of scoobynet, etc.. but we will be guided by you.

I personally think £15 is good value when you think that, it will probably be on 2 CD's, the magazine will be a professionally constructed multi-media presentation including full motion video, etc. and the archives will consist of over 2 years worth of the most complete technical resource I can imagine is available anywhere.

But, like I said (genuinely) if the general concensus is that you feel it should be a tenner, then we will have to look at it.

Thank again!

best regards

Simon

 

Put me down for one. £10 would be great but I'd up to £20.

Ric

 

Yes, I'll have one £10, just about right.

 

oh sorry, I forgot...

Online ordering should be available in time for the first issue.

 

AIII I'll have one too
£15 sounds o.k to me
