Well, all good things must come to an end -- and one of 'em is the silence that has reigned in the fund raising section of landracing.com. It's been a while since I've asked for donations/sought income, and that, in general, has been a good thing. Not only did a few of the attempts yield enough $$ that I haven't had to ask, but also I didn't want to have continuous assaults on your wallet on the site. But with the end of the year drawing near - it's time to make sure I've got enough in the kitty to keep things on the straight and narrow, financial wise.
Among other things -- I've got a few donated copies of the World's Fastest Motorcycle - by Richard Lague. I can either see if you'd like one of them as a "premium" for a nice (read: good size, no $2.75 donations, please
) donation, or I can work up a bit of a contest for youse guys where I'll come up with a trivia question and let the prize for being the first with the best answer - be a copy of the DVD. Since postage is most likely going to be four or five bucks -- I'd sure like the amount for the site to be a heck of a bunch more than 6 dollars, please. If you want one and can't get the right answer or make your donation quickly enough -- he's got more of them available for sale, and copies of the new Ack Attack book to sell, too (he gets a mention for his stuff because he was kind enough to donate swag to the site). By the also way, I'd send you to his website -- but when I checked it just now I get a message telling me that there's apparently a hacker living there instead -- just waiting to infect your computer with some nefarious disease. Be careful. That one was
www.ignition3.tv. I'm not sure if his email to that site works, but beware, okay?
And I've got other stuff that's been donated -- like a stack of books and other documents that Land Speed Louise donated for the Salt Talks giveaway last summer. Some went then -- some are still with us. And I've got other goodies, too. I'll start digging into the lr.com inventory archive to see what there is that you can "acquire" - maybe for your personal collection, maybe so you can give it to someone as a holiday gift.
Whatever - let me know about your suggested way to turn these DVDs into money for the site. And don't forget -- you're always welcome to send a donation to lr.com via any of the Paypal buttons on the site. Thanks.
