For a few months I co-ran a website called www.retroroundup.co.uk basically due to lack of interest it didn't seem worth the effott anymore but with the Retro Scene at an all time high i'm thinking of getting it up and running again, but i'm going to need some help so I was wondering is there any people who either have a talent and experience in HTML and Website design or people to write articles, take pictures and general things like that. And last but not least would I have the support of the Retro-Rides owner(s) and comunity? |

Sounds like a great idea to me, if you're stuck for items to put up, I could write you a little article or two, few hundred words maybe, I'm quite interested in that kind of thing. (hoping to be a journalist when I'm all growed up! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D) and I'm sure some of the other guys/gals/others on the forum would be happy to send in stuff to contribute. Do you have an email adress, and I could send you whatever I come up with? I'll try to have a sample of my work in the next few days, but I might be busy, right now I'm skiving off decorating my new house!  |

Ok, I'll give it a shot, I'll try for this week if I can, but I couldn't promise it, but only if you promise not to offer anything in return, I don't want repayed for this, your eternal gratitude is more than enough. <END OF SILLY HUMBLENESS BIT > |

Maybe I could go for a kind of "Why a Retro car?" type article and talk about why people like us buy and run old motors, maybe end with a little advice for anyone planning on buying their own retro car. You know the kind of thing. What do you think?

Sounds like a great idea,.. Articles are difficult to get, I want to sort out a few more for this site, but its either hope people will submit them, or write them myself. If I'm writing myself I've got to consider if an article isn't good enough for me to submit to a magazine, why would I put it on the site? Then I've got to think if it is good enough for submission to a magazine, why would I stick it on the site and not get paid for it On the other hand for short articles, and short car features the internet is perfect. If you need any help or advice, send me a mail. Feel free to promote it on here,... just don't have a more successful message board  |

Best idea is to make sure we don't duplicate work/content. If you've featured a car, or written an article about something I'll make sure that there isn't something similar here. And vice versa.
Feel free to promote what your doing on here as and when you do it.

Another good thing about this is it gives me practice at writing, and gets me some constructive criticism before I start writing with magazines in mind! It's nicer to hear what I'm doing wrong from you lot saying it in a nice way than a magazine sending me a letter saying my work's curse word! ;D

That sounds fair enough Hotwire, Revolution, i'm happy for my site to be breeding ground for new writers as I would love to work for a Magazine one-day too, but i'm starting to train as a Mechanic in September at college first so I want to get that behind me before I start to look into Magazines as a career!
