well, most of you guys saw the hate thread and the kiss and make up thread about all the MT mags. im glad that was settled in a cool way... anyway, on to the reasoning to this post -

i now have every single issue of MT mag (including the partials from truckin!) a lot of you guys that got the old issues from me have made several comments about how cool the "scene" was back then and how cool the trucks looked. there are still a ton of you guys messaging me every day looking for old issues or specifics to a certain feature. i starting to think how i could share these mags with everyone around the world; since so many peeps helped me build the collection in the first place (thanks sean burnley and james manning specifically!) many more people continue trying to find the old mags or just take a look at a cover or something...

well, back to my concern on how i can "give back" so that some of the younger minitruckin generation can experience real old school minis or the old school guys can relive some memories.

heres my thought (i know... finally!) is there any of you guys that would bewilling to donate time and/or money to help me scan every single page of these mags and build an archive site for all to see?? also, is it even legal? (chime in at anytime ernie!) i guess it would be as long as i didnt post up the current issue that was for sale on the news-stand i...

also, should it be a pay-site (very small fee if so) or could it run solely on donations? im just lookikng for some input.

ive got the mags, time and a little money.

i need help scanning the mags, help building the site and help hosting it! some art work would be cool too. this is just an idea at this point but who knows what we can do together!

sorry to be so long winded - this is just something im passionate about!

note: your comments are appreciated! (please NO bullshit-mean-hate comments!)

sounds like a great idea.... but i would call and talk to someone at the top of primedia and ask them if they would have a problem with you doing this, i'd make sure you wouldnt get into any legal trouble for doin this, cause i think that would cut into their back issues that they sell, or do they even do that still??

It would be pretty cool to have a site like that give us a look back to the old mini truckin days

if you got some time on your hands can you look for my trucks feature in MT....not sure on the month or year, but I hear it was between 1997 and 2001.
89 mazda b2200 owner at the time was matt howard
if you can find that issue...I will pay whatever you want!
