Looking for a writer

[steve k.]

We have an entire section dedicated to '02 and NK models, without descriptions. I am looking for someone who is interested in BMWs and writing about them. We need to get the descriptions filled. About 1300 words per car. Also looking for about 700 words on what a Neue Klass is and 700 words on what an '02 is. FAQ can provide monetary compensation for the time spent. 

 

Please PM me if interested.

Thanks, Steve, and Thanks, Rick,

 

But besides having too many projects on my hands — outside FAQ — I’ve set my sights on fleshing out the Registry!

 

Best regards,

I have started some DB changes fro the registry to see if i can clean it up a bit. I'll talk to you a bit more about it

Any time, Steve.

 

I frequently wish the Registry had fields for all the common data we get from Archives. What’s currently missing are:

 

I. Date of legal delivery (to an importer or dealer)

 

II. Importer or dealer time whom delivered

 

III. Country to which delivered

 

IV. Paint code (largely redundant, but helps avoid some confusions, e.g., Polaris 057 vs. Polaris 060.

 

There are other common data we come across, ones that would be cool to sort or search on, but which don’t occur that often. For instance, I have 50-ish window stickers. For these cars, we know the U.S. Port of Entry. For these, and many others, we also know the delivering dealership. And for some, we even know the date of initial delivery to the first owner.

 

More later.
 

Best regards,

 

Steve C.

No doubt that @Conserv would be the ideal candidate for this job.

 

As an alternative to Steve, I'm on the fence about offering my time for the project.
I too am somewhat short on time at the moment, but @steve k. what's the expected time schedule on this project?

Yes! Anders would do this justice!

 

Best regards,

I actually have 3 great people working on some major items. There will always be room to add more as we want the FAQ to be the primary source for the '02 and NK knowledge. 

 

If you think you have a topic, Please, write. something as simple as how to date your engine block or what are all these markings on my head? I just looked at a couple. of those posts.

OK, Steve,

 

Without a lot of work, I could turn my old thread on engine block casting dates into an article for the articles section, and... add in a head identification and dating component. It could be entitled “Identifying ‘02 Engines” or something similar (something that pops up easily with searches).

 

I’ve actually wanted to do this for.... about three years, but needed a nudge... ?

 

Best regards,

@steve k. If you already have someone writing these descriptions, then that's great.
If not, then feel free to drop me an email on: ab@viaretro.co.uk
