Rotary Rocket Magazine

Rotary Rocket Magazine. I have what I believe to be a complete set. V1, #1 through V12, #1 (April 1990).
a. What is the last known issue?
b. Does anyone know who owns the copyright?
c. I would like to purchase 3 Rotary Rocket Magazine binders. Anyone have one, or two, or three?

I have a few duplicates, but I'm out of town and I don't have a list of them. I will post a list when I return. (might be a few months)

Just filled in most of the holes in my collection! Big collection up for sale on Ebay.
Basically 1980-1985, 23 issues. Includes membership cards, 'gold tone' keychain, window decal and all paperwork.

Still have never seen any binders.

Back in 1986 I purchased a new RX7 and, of course, joined the RX7 club. Back then, past issues of the "Rotary Rocket Magazine" were still available for purchase through the club. If you purchased all available back issues, the club would include the binders for free. I purchased all available issues and received them all nicely placed in the binders which was great. Back then, I think the first three issues were sold out so I'm missing these. Anyhow, I thought post a photo of what the binders look like.

Seeing this type of stuff really makes me wish that this type of publication and membership was still around. This forum is the closest thing to that in my opinion..

There were a lot of cars in the mid 80's when I was a member of the Rx-7 Club of America. In a way I miss this too but this forum is really better in a lot of ways. The interactive nature of a forum really makes a difference.

Can someone dedicate a day to scanning these magazine and posting them to the forum for all to read.
I'll send internet cookies to the person who does.

I was in the process of scanning all of mine in to pdf files for each issue (I have a lot of them) and hosting them on its own website.

Just have to take time and finish it.

What issue was it? Obviously there were two people bidding so there is still someone who wants that issue pretty badly.

Early 80's Christmas ad

Back around 84 my cousins and I were part of a Christmas Ad that the magazine ran that year. We're dressed as little elves and I'm trying to find the photo. I'm the little one sewing up a chair (If memory serves me!) Any help finding a copy of this picture for our family would mean more then words of gratitude could ever say.

If RR produced issues with that ad then chances are someone here would have it. Or you could find out which issue it was in and buy that issue form ebay.

I believe I found the picture. Elves dressed in green next to a red widebody FB. You are in a seat pulling up on a string and I believe that's your cousin pulling a red "Radio Flyer" wagon with a sweet Epsilon wheel off of the RX-7. It's in the December 1981 issue. I'll bring it to work tomorrow, scan it and post it here for you.
