Mine appeared today.  The gorgeous cover photo had me going for a moment.  There is a similar stainless tree sculpture in the sculpture garden of the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, but it would be difficult, if not impossible, to be allowed to take a car in there.

This posting has proven to be an interesting study in postal systems.  I see numerous replies from Europe as receiving but so far I  (in NY) have not received it.

Usually it is California that is last on the list. If you don't receive it this week, let me know.

Pagoda World always emerges from my mailbox begging to be read straight through from cover to cover.  PW27 is an exceptional example.  Kudos to all who contributed to this issue!

Received mine yesterday ( 18th ) and it looks good. The quality of the paper and pictures compares with some of the best car magazines out there.  Good work everyone!

Nothing here yet but I am not surprised. It took two weeks for a Birthday card to reach my son in Seattle earlier this month.  A while back I had a first class letter (with tracking) sent from Florida which was routed to Honolulu then back to Bethpaige NY and trucked back to California. Took nearly a month to get here.

Bob we will send another. I am guessing this is all tied in with the postal service issues we are seeing all across the US.

 The postmaster must have read my last post. HooRay, I finally received my issue of Pagoda World. As usual, what a great issue it is! I am also honored and humbled to have a photo of our Pagoda included along with fantastic photos of other member's beautiful cars. My Thanks to Jon, Mike and all the others that contributed such interesting articles to make this an absolutely 1st class magazine.
