I can forgive a little grammar and punctuation issues specially because it's gonna be in three languages. As for the content, I think it should be open to all styles, as long as they are well crafted and executed. It could be a purple metal-flake Beetle with flared fenders, nurf bars, zoom tube and those black bubble tinted rear quarter windows ['70's style], or a bone stock '74 411, as long as they are done well, with alot of detailing, then it's all cool in my book. I hear what Mark is saying about the whole "rat-rod" scene. Guys who slap together a ground scraping death trap because it looks "cool". Although I'm not a big fan of the rust bucket look, a car that has a "historical finish" [I hate the word "patina"], that has some nice engineering, detailing, and a significant amount of effort put into it can garner my appreciation. It's all in the overall theme and craftsmanship. That's what is important to me. What I don't want to see are daily drivers. I see those all the time, I want to see top show cars, I want to see things that haven't been done before, or a level of detail and craftsmanship to aspire to. I want to see dream cars.
I like the Rodders Journal model. It's a class act. Impeccable feature cars, great historical articles. If AirMighty can do that, then it'll separate itself from the rest.
And I don't mind paying for it. I sent them an e-mail about a subscription to the states, I hope I hear back form them.

just for your information
CSP will be a distributor of the magazine
I will have stocks on Monday 11th ...
it can be sent with orders or grouped with dealers ... so many outbacks of Europe can be reached without paying fortunes of transport ...
email to
gh@csp-shop.de
...

what with volksworld dropping their cal-look issue due to lack of sales this will be of interest.
