total audi soldiers on...

[HPmuirt]

We were approached to get involved and pick up the peices after things dried up, did the research and decided against it tho, poo sticks and all that. A shame it was't tackled differently from the outset, had so much potential but has now obviously left a nasty aftertaste. Getting another indy Audi mag of the ground would prove v v difficult coz of this saga, a real shame...

Well I publically told David that it would fail, based on his plans and direction. I also explained why I thought it would fail and how he would need to change the direction in order to survive. It was however, rather similar to this --> as he quite obviously did not listen.

However, in order to keep the peace and prove that I was not just out to get him, I too stumped up for 15 issues. Unlike the rest of you, I actually received 3.5 issues (I am not prepared to accept that the 4th release was either a full or full-sized issue).

It is a shame that David Corfield does not have the common decency to refund some or all of the subscriptions, but he obviously has no moral regard or scruples. I have tried, so far unsuccessfully, to secure a refund so stand by that last statement as fact, not libel

It is also rather offensive that Mr Corfield continues to use this disastrous business venture to promote his journalistic abilities (Have you seen his website?). Whilst he may be a fair copywriter, he is obviously on a par with my 4 year old son when it comes to business acumen or even an understanding of his own industry

I wonder who on this forum donated issue 4 to the dentist?

[vonbeck]

i think i must have been one of the lucky ones err who got issue 4 would look forward to number 5

[Jas11n]

I did of course nick issue four from the dentists.
Well! I didn't nick it, I asked Rob (my dentist) if I could have it

Thankfully the filling didn't leave as bad an after-taste as this scam did

I think was one of the few lucky enough to receive issue # 4 but unfortunately not lucky enough to receive the rest of my 15 issues or in fact any of my hard earned wedge back!!

As you rightly say this community is very friendly and unltimately far too trusting at times. I believed on this occasion that those of us who subscribed were helping a fellow enthusiast to create something which would be a great asset to the entire community. Instead we got shafted once again!

All very true....

I remember a few people getting burnt by that particular deal. Sad really as the Audi scene is so community oriented.

As you will see from some of my previous posts, I tried to get my money's worth by having a good laugh and taking the p!55 out of David from TA!

Here's a topic gone BUT not forgotten.

Been at the dentists today, and what should I see sitting on the table in the waiting room? An issue of this mag.

Issue number 4..........the one I never received

Mine stopped at issue three, out of the subscription of buy 12 and get 15 issues.

LMAO!

Funny you should say that, I was clearing out our magazine rack at home on Saturday. (We had friends coming over and I got roped into tidying up, so I thought I would do it properly!) Anyway I digress, I found the first three editions of Total Audi. Just as I was about to discard them along with Evo and Audi Driver magazine, something stopped me.

I have decided to keep them in case I ever get issues 5 - 15, or they become worth something, I mean they are rare after all.

cheers

Thanks Kris, and thanks everybody for supporting me through some very hard times. Next month will be a vast improvement.

[kriswithak]

Got the mag last night, nice to see it again!

David, I haven't forgotten about the photos and short write up of the Audi presence at Mania this year, I will try to get it sorted this week.

Good stuff, David.

[mint10valver]

It will get better Steve, and I hear your comments. Contributions from you and everybody else are EXACTLY what we need. Thanks
