New Cobra Club Magazine

[Buzz]

Thanks for sharing - great start. Just a couple of little things: First - In Peter Adams' running report, it would've been nice to have seen some info on the car in the article; for example who was the manufacturer?
Secondly - and admittedly this is a pet peeve, but even a club magazine should get this right - the plural of "Cobra" is "Cobras" not "Cobra's" no apostrophe required.
Forgive the nitpicking - it's really nice to see an enthusiast magazine for Cobra lovers. For upcoming issues, how about an article on what's happening with (formerly known as?) Dax and an update on what Gary Sanders is up to with his innovative XCS Cobras.

Thanks Buzz.

Peter's car is a Hawk.

If that was the only typo you found Buzz, I'm not too disappointed. I think I can say with some degree of confidence that Lee knows the difference between Cobras and Cobra's and that this was simply a typing error.

That said, we clearly need to improve our proof reading procedure....do you want to take on the task?

With regard to Dax and XCS, there are numerous professional kit-car publications to cover those subjects. We're more interested in genuine Cobras (no apostrophe ) and "replicas".

Nice job for the first issue. I hope that it goes well and maybe some of the other clubs will start putting out a magazine. That would be an interesting way to get members to participate.

Understood Paul. I can see where cars like the Dax, XCS, Gardner Douglas, etc. would fall outside of the true replica definition. Thanks again for sharing and I look forward to reading more about the UK Cobra scene.

Forgive my american brother,he used to be a english teacher and he just can not help himself. You know how those english can be,all prim, and proper,and such.We still love him thow.

No problem Hauss, I thought it was pretty funny being instructed on the use of our own language.

To be fair though, I'm also pretty picky on the correct use of grammar, spelling and punctuation, but unfortunately a couple of errors slipped through the net.

We would love to hear your feedback on the articles. These haven't just been lifted from books or other magazines, but have taken genuine investigation to put together.

Thank you,
Paul

Thank you, that's a fair point and ironically, far easier to do than words.
