Yes, of course, and I think it needs to stay that way. It was always intended to be a community effort, not a commercial enterprise. Also, in the 26 months I published a printed edition by "popular demand" and tried to charge a less than break-even rate of $30/year for subscriptions, the demand turned out to be entirely unpopular.

Apart from all the life stuff that's occupied me and our once-regular contributors (and it's been a busy coupla years, believe me), the main problem is that Volvos stopped being fun. Spending a weekend bolting on an iPd or Swem kit, or spending a month rebuilding a motor, is fun, and fun to write up. Doing a show-quality restoration, or spending two years building a super-motor, is NOT fun -- it's horrible. I think Cameron would be the first to agree with this, if Shayne doesn't beat him to it.

I bet I've deleted over 20,000 words I've written about the MPPE in the past two years. I finally concluded that I can't tell anyone how to build one of these, and there are few who would want to once they realize what it costs, both financially and emotionally. Instead, I opted to write a series of semi-humorous stories about it for Rolling instead of having more technical coverage of it in VClassics.

Same with the Amazon resurrection. In a nutshell, I didn't like reading myself whining about it.

BUT... VClassics will be back with some changes. First off, much of what I do for a living these days is work on old cars for customers, with a preference for Volvos, of course. That's grist for the mill. Second, I'm developing a line building trick Volvo motors for customers who don't want to / can't get through the process themselves. So, part of VClassics will take on a commercial bent advertising those services.

The rest will come back as it originally started -- no regular staff, just whatever useful stuff I can document from working on other peoples' cars, tips and stories from readers, and occasional coverage of Volvo-related events as I manage to get to them.

Not that you asked, but there ya have it.
