SL-i.net member's rides "magazine" - 56K: sorry

[anothernord]

This is such a cool service for a forum. It really contributes to the sense of community.

[ryu_haneda]

To the SL-i.net Members Ride Magazine readers:

Thank you for faithfully reading through the articles on these pages. I recently took a break to step back and prepare for the next series of articles.

It has been a pleasure and privilege writing for all of you, and I've got quite a bunch of articles yet to write, God willing. Unfortunately, I've been a bit delayed in the writing, due to several events (the details don't need to be discussed here, but let's just say life was hard for the last 2 weeks).

Thanks for sticking it out with me during these weeks. Hopefully the next articles will make up for my absence.

*SPOILER ALERT* *DON'T READ WHAT'S NEXT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!*

Ok. I figure I owe it to you to hint at what's coming up.

In the next series of reviews, you'll undoubtedly be seeing some heavy hitters, and moderator rides. Hopefully everything will still be getting cranked out in the classy, grassroots, grammar-in-your-face style that is at home here at SL-i.net. (I'll even revisit some of my first article targets.)

Thank you for letting me write your articles. Go ahead, get your posts in order for the next few days to week or so. Soon, things will pick back up again...

...and you'll have no choice but to come back and read through again. And again. And again. And again...

See you in a bit...

Thanks Ryu, you're the best!

[Airgne]

ryu i hope everything is ok. if you need time than take it. this place is not more inportant than real life.

[cman7]

I'm excited to see what's next.

Now I'll be honest some of your first few one's you wrote were pretty cheesy IMO.

But it appears these are some sort of guilty pleasure for me as I keep looking back and reading them over and over. So you win.

[impreza_GC8]

I know you expressed interest in my wagon a while back, well its painted up and ready for a feature now.

[evolegacy]

whats it take to get a feature on one's own car? jw

[Grafton]

cool stuff looking forward to whats coming up next

[ryu_haneda]

Hey evolegacy,

Usually the magazine picks member rides out at random, but there have been a few exceptions here and there.

impreza gc8: thanks for the heads up! SL-i MBR will probably be featuring your ride in the next cycle or two

Everyone else:

Thank you for patiently waiting some more. I apologize, as things have been a lot more hectic than planned and I was trying a few things out. After the next few magazines are out, I think there will be a consistency in the format.

And yes, I know that the post will show September as the month of the magazine. I am debating whether or not to go to a bi-monthly format, so I could use that as an excuse. Anyway, without further ado, the next edition!









































































Hope this makes up for my absence, folks... until next time!

[anothernord]

Amazing! Fantastic work Ryu!!

[Airgne]

^^ thank you ryu. awsome read. i like the way you put things. also its about time ppl saw Ben's car.

[Grafton]

good stuff at least i am not a compete "reason's car clone" lol

[rougeben83]

Thanks Ryu, I'm honored. Makes me feel less frustrated at the car for throwing a p0171 code for the past week

[jons900]

Awesome read! Great Job!

[PJ2277]

Great writeup on Airgne's car! Definitely a nice BE

What is this I see next to Reason's car?

A 03 Legacy wagon with a Baja Turbo bumper and Hood or is that a Baja itself?

[ryu_haneda]

That was DeadlyDave's Baja Turbo, covered in an earlier issue of SLI MBR. Unfortunately involved in an accident. Check out DD's Baja thread for more information.

[PJ2277]

Seems like a Baja Turbo bumper would look pretty sweet on a Legacy as well

[sybir]

That's awesome, dude. Great work, and thanks!

[Reason]

Nice I didn't even know you did this already! Makes me sad that the car is a shit box and all the plans I have for it is at a halt, oh well. Oh yea, for the record, it's my 4th Legacy

[ryu_haneda]

SL-i MBR update:

After the September/October issue, I took a brief break. I'll probably repeat the formula for the November/December issue. I've got more cars to review, and another opportunity to tighten up the magazine and make it sing just a little bit more.

Stay tuned (...or stay stock if you want )...

[ryu_haneda]

Okay, your holiday issue is here. Enjoy!



















































































Well, that's it for this year. Hope you enjoyed this year's magazine... it's time to take a pause for the holiday season. SL-i MBR wishes all its readers Season's Greetings. God bless you all, God bless SL-i.net, and God bless Subaru!

Amazing work, Ryu. I am convinced that SL-i is the coolest Subaru forum out there. This is one of the reasons why I think that.

[Airgne]

thank you ryu for your writings. good reading.

[peugoby]

Thanks for the write up Ryu! Holiday Greetings to you from Oregon, thanks for everything.

[tecnica technician]

[ryu_haneda]

SL-i Members Rides Magazine is back... and looking to make a mark in 2010. Stay tuned, your January issue will be out shortly...

[LGTgurl06]

:smt002 Nice job on the last Mag.

[ryu_haneda]

Hey hey hey, boys and girls... sorry I made it late to the party, but here it is, January's issue. Again, apologies for the late registration. I am potentially beginning to run out of hosting room and am thinking about going in new directions with the mag itself. In the meantime, enjoy!

[Okin DaVanh]
