Many people email us saying they would like to
submit something but do not know what to send. Here
are a few suggestions to give you an idea:
Photos: photos are always good. They will
not only make it in the magazine but on the
website.
note: I have recently started
including colors of the cars along with their
photos on the car photos pages. This will
hopefully be useful to people researching
potential paint colors for their car. When you
send photos, be sure to include the car's color
code.
Sightings: Did you see a Spitfire on a TV
show, in a movie, hear that a famous person drove
one, know of another magazine praising (or dogging)
the car?
Tech Stories: Something is broken and
needs fixing? Tell us how you decided what was
wrong and how you repaired it (don't forget to take
photos).
Interesting Stories: Did something funny
happen to you while driving your car? Did you have
a wreck? How did you find your car? Taking an
expecting wife to the hospital in your car (I have
heard it happens).You get the idea (don't forget to
send photos).
"Reader's Story": Tell us what is like
owning a Spitfire. How about a trip that you took
driving your car (got photos?).
Requests: Many people have requested
stories be written. Here is a partial list:
Cross country drives in a Spitfire
Body work/painting articles
Restoring and adjusting carburators (Weber, SU,
Zenith)
Tires/wheel information
Radio/CD fitting
