Yey! A New Car Mag!! Modern Classics

[sutts]

Ah ha, many thanks. They had my M5 for a photo shoot with an Alpina B10 in July, and I didn't know which one it would eventually appear in. Looks like it will be next year!

Oooo, I like the fact the 156 GTA is a future icon. May pick a copy up tomorrow

Just because you own one

This magazine has found a real niche in the market. For ages I moaned that the classic car mags were stuck in a 70s time-warp with the occasional foray into 80s stuff, whereas EVO/CAR etc mostly concentrate on new stuff. Here is a mag featuring forgotten gems like the MG Montego Turbo, Alfa 145 Cloverleaf and next month, the Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v, which you just wouldn't find in any other mag. Also I like that the german car, i.e. Golf GTI, doesn't automatically win its category. Very refreshing indeed!!!

I guess you'd need to buy 'German Classics' for that! Although it doesn't seem to have got past its pilot issue so far. The Japanese one did but that took a while

Picked up my first copy of this today and I'm very impressed. A really good mix of articles, loved the one on the Audi 80 Sport.

It hasn't helped ease my want for an Integra DC2 though

I can't seem to find this magazine anywhere ?! Frustrating as read a couple and seemed good

You can buy it with free p&p online, comes through to the door in two days. My tesco sometimes has it but I just order every month.

My local WH Smith had it, and if they don't I'm sure they'd order one in.

There's plenty of copies in our local WH Smith - every Asda round here stocks it too

Been to 2 WHSmith and they don't stock it, will try Tescos

I got mine from WHSmiths, they had a big display thing of them.

What about that Readly thingie app you can get on your iPad or whatever? Can you get it on that instead? A lot of people seem to swear by it rather than print copies ( I must admit I prefer the oldskool print mags )

I used to get it from Tesco at Lee Mill near Plymouth, since I moved to the NW I can't find it in Tesco or WH Smith.

I ought to back order the entire print really as I only have 2 of them.

[anonymous-user]

Sainsbury's stock it

New Xmas issue out if anyone's looking for a budget EVO replacement.

Skylines, RS4, 968CS vs Ghibli, GTE 16v vs Maestro Turbo and S1 RS Turbo to name a few articles

Going monthly now too

It's a decent mag-the vehicle content is certainly more enjoyable than Evo, although the writing isn't up to the same standard. Mind, now Mr Catchpole has departed, I fear Evo's writing will deteriorate rather quickly...

I still get both but the cars in MC with the EVO photography would be great

My thoughts exactly-I subscribe to both and whilst Evo's writing and photography is generally excellent, I'm getting tired with the constant features on ridiculously priced cars. Can't remember the last group test on e.g. the most fun you can have for £15k, for instance!
