Might There Be Any News Concerning The Next Car Room Magazine?
Seems as if the next issue date gets moved further and further out into the future. Sad, such a GREAT mag, but it would seem that the continued delays are starting to take their toll on the overall views of CRM as I've read a few
other diecast sites whereby members seem to be close to breakpoint on added postponements. Has anyone heard any direct info that they might share??

It is at the printer and I'm waiting to hear a firm mailing date.
It did miss last week's anticipated date.

I received the following message from Joe Kelly today.
"The mag is printing tomorrow morning after file issues caused a delay that in turn caused us to lose our print 'window'. We're about a week away from delivery."
"We were going to travel to the printer to ceremoniously start the presses, but family health issues and work on the next issue are taking precedence. We want this magazine out with the same urgency as our readers do."

another reply from Casey Kelly.
I apologize for the inconvenience. We were asked to work on a television show and got a bit overwhelmed. That being said the magazine is back in production- actually printing on Thursday and will mail the beginning of next week.
One of the by-products of the TV show has been a weekly internet show. The show airs live at 7pm est. on Saturday. I realize that very early in the morning for you. The show is available on demand the rest of the week and then moves into the on-demand archives. http://www.thecarroom.com/tv/ It is a great way to get news about scale models as we showcase the newest models to arrive into the office every week.
In more news, with this issue we will be launching a digital edition, The digital edition is included in your paid subscription for the print mag, The label on your print mag will have a code on it. That will help you access the digital edition, subscriber only content and the "My Car Room" portion of the website. Once the digital edition launches- you will be able to access it about 3 weeks before the print magazine arrives at your door.
Again, I do apologize for the inconvenience.
