Editorial license & new members Well as our President stated earlier, the colder weather is certainly rolling in on us all. Welcome to the winter edition of Star Torque and may I extend a warm welcome to all our new Club members. As you have more than likely already read we have focused on yet another Classic model in this issue of the magazine, the W113 “Pagoda” SL. I hope that we have made the owners of these particular vehicles proud, by providing a little bit of information about them and their wonderful cars. As the owner of a R107, I know that I was very happy to see my car pictured in the magazine some years ago and did not hesitate to show members and friends these photos. This is the next SL to feature in Star Torque and would like members of these fine vehicles to come forward and provide us with a brief story and some high resolution pictures please. We are always looking at content for the magazine and at times have found it difficult to source. I am certain that you would like to have your car (or cars) pictured in our magazine. All you need to do is get an article together with a few good quality photos and hey presto it is that easy. Well may be not that easy, but if you would like a hand to get it happening, give me a call and I will work with you to get your story in print. Event articles. If you have attended a recent Club event, or another Car Club event that you think is worth mentioning, please let’s hear from you. You never know you could be the next Club journalist, so give it a go. At the recent National Rally, the Presidents all agreed to share technical knowledge on repairs and know how etc. This was a great idea and will benefit members who do fiddly repairs themselves. We will endeavour to filter these articles through in new issues of the magazines and tuition videos on the website. So if you have an article that may be of assistance to other like minder tinkers, of the Mercedes-Benz following, share the joy and spread your knowledge. I will also arrange for these to be distributed to the other states and across Australia. It has not always been easy to get this magazine out, but I have had some very dedicated people to support each issue. Thank you once again to each and every one of them, it has been a team effort, so well done team. This will be my last Star Torque magazine in the role of Editor, as I have a business to run and have to allocate more time to my work commitments. In particular, A.King is in the same position as me with high workload commitments, so we urgently need a graphic layout person or small layout team capable of using the InDesign software to continue this magazine - so please volunteer and contact me as soon as possible. My full support will be given to Club members wishing to take on this responsible position of Editor and other who wish to provide articles and so on, in the short term. Please contact me as soon as possible about the editor and layout positions as the future of the magazine is in question if nobody steps up to help the Club with this great publication. I hope you have enjoyed the magazine whilst I have been the editor.
