Freebie Sub to H2O Full Throttle

[H2O Full Throttle]

Thought I would make this a seperate stand alone post :seeya:

As a show of support for Serious Offshore the first Hundy people (thats downunder talk for 100) who send me a PM with name and postal address will get a freebie one year sub to the magazine.

Next issue coming out soon and includes:

Florida Poker Run
Class 1
Formula 1
Jetsprinting
Thundercats

Plus heaps more stuff.

So be in to win, send me a PM.

Cheers

Ned

What are you some kind of mind reader. He just posted this today! :huh:

[baddogz28]

PM sent!

[Marginmn]

You did the same thing for X number of people who donated to the Cig raffle a few years back on OSO. I donated and forwared my address but never received anything. Sent an email to you guys about 5 months later asking what was up with my 2 year freee subscription and asking why I had never received anything. You said no problem we'll take care of it. I received one issue then..................... nothing.

So far I'm not too impressed with your free subscriptions :)

[H2O Full Throttle]

Marginmn - Cant answer what happened back then as we have had a change over of staff in the office since then. I am on the road most of the year and rely on my office staff to sort these things out. All I can do is tell you to send me a PM and will ensure its added to our current database and will start the two years from now.

Choice is yours.

Ned

[lowblue320]

[bajacleveland]

Another PM sent.
Thanx -Ned

[H2O Full Throttle]

And to anyone else who wants a freebie sub its still open so send your PM.

And just some info for members knowledge here, the new system we have set up means that now then I enter a freebie sub or members details on my subs database on my laptop I can sync with the server back in the office and it updates the details so again if you have had any probs with subs then send ME a PM and I can correct it here on my laptop which will then get updated on the server.

Are you sure that wasn't Extreme Boats? I donated to that one, and I could have sworn that it was Extreme who was including the subscriptions. (Which I only got a few of.)

[purrfection]

Ned, that is a very generous thing you are doing, especially in today's economic times. I have really enjoyed viewing your fantastic photos and look forward to seeing more. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Biggus]

Thanks Ned!:sifone:

[Perlmudder]

[03darkshadow]

thanks Ned. very generous. :cheers2:

[RLJ676]

Hope I'm in the first 100.:sifone:

Great offer, much appreciated.:26:

[H2O Full Throttle]

Had a couple of PMs from guys asking why I am giving away 100 freebie subs to the mag. So here are the answers, in no particular order, except for the last one :biggrinjester:

* Because we do well with our other magazines and in fact their advertising has increased so we are using some of those profits to subsidize the giveaways.

* Its a great way of marketing the magazine and showing people the quality of it.

* I plan on keeping the mag around for good, not just the good times.

* It helps our advertisers get their messages to even more people.

* Because it allows many of you to realise that there are a LOT of other forms of powerboat racing out there besides offshore :huh:

* Because the guys who started this site are a $hit hot bunch of guys who I actually respect (shock horror) :biggrinjester: and its a good way to say thanks to people for joining here.

* But bottom line the main reason I am doing this is because I CAN :26::26:

I'll see you and raise you on that one I WON one of the "life time subcriptions" out of 10 people who won his prize and never got a single mag. I PM back and forth with this guy and he said you'll get them.........never got any.:biggrinjester:

I still have the PMs on my OSO page.

I should have backed out on the deal like so many people did on OSO after they didn't win the boat just because of this guy. Just didn't seem right.....but it does seem like a waste of time and $200.

Other than that I had the same paint job on my 43 flat deck Black Thunder a few years ago that's on your avatar

I have heard this before Ned.

[H2O Full Throttle]

WeaponX - Complain as much as you want, bottom line I have had about ten different user names on *******sonly.com because I didnt play by their rules so if you know some special way of getting into PMs after you have been banned then please enlighten me.

Its plain and simple, go ahead and bad mouth me and my mag, thats your perogative or send me a PM with your details and get the mag. I am happy whichever decision you make. I presume you are so perfect in every way that you have never screwed up or made mistakes. Well ya know what I aint perfect like you and have offered to right a wrong. Take it or leave it - your choice.

Ned

[cigdaze]

Ned, thanks! What you're doing is very generous, it's appreciated. We look forward to receiving this great publication, and as always your tremendous photography.

I'll tell you I'm real close to perfect. Just have a hard time trusting people who say they'll do something about three or four times and just don't do it. I sent a PM to you. Now one more time around we go.

I got a real stand up offer to make things right from Ned.

Not trying to start anything, but did anyone ever get one of these mags? With HOTBOAT leaving with everybodies money, I was looking forward to something new to read.

[H2O Full Throttle]

.38Special - You wanna give us a chance to get the damm issue of the magazine out. The next issue of the magazine is being worked on now and goes to the press in a weeks time.

Sorry if its not soon enough for you but thats life.

Ned

[Tempest38]

Just my luck to find this after the deadline. Still a very generous offer.

[H2O Full Throttle]

If anyone still wants to take advantage of this send me a PM as next issue goes in the mail in a couple of weeks.
