Having worked in the photo, graphics, and publishing business myself for 20 years before moving to the dark side (IT), and having been a member of MBCA for one year to get the Star - I have to agree.
Oh, and just to turn your crank: I have been in writing/editing/publishing for 20+ years. For the money paid to the publisher, The Star is a miserable disgrace, lacking in depth, vision and any form of real meat-n-bones content. If MBCNA did not feed it high-quality editorial and image content it would barely pass muster as part of the auto trader family. You can print crap on nice heavy gloss paper, but it's still crap. Check out The Roundel, the BMWCA publication. Comes out twice as often (from memory), top-notch editor and you can actually enjoy it even if you don't own a BMW. I used to look forward to getting it. My Star editions ended up in a pile on the living room floor. Couple of years later I sold them on eBay. I still have my Roundels, and I have not been into BMWs since the late 1990s. Sorry, guys, you are getting ripped big time. Mac Oh I'm a gonna need the Kevlar and Nomex now
