I got me copy in an airport too. If I still have it you are welcome to it, I will have a look tonight.

Is the 2nd issue out yet?

Couldn't buy it, the quality of the paper and the layout didn't appeal to me.

It may sound strange but even if the writing may be very good it stops me buying the magazine.

Strange that it comes from the same people that do CAR.

Pretty ironic .... I've been on the hunt for this, since this thread started, and finally got a copy today, in WH Smiths, in Reading (the one kind of opposite John Lewis).

Unless it was an introductory offer, remember it's £2.99, not the five quid most of the other mags on better paper cost. Although if CAR is anything to go by, the paper they print it on is nothing like as good as it used to be.

read " donn" market as "down". Mag fit for purpose for price, why use posh paper to bin the following week?

I had a quick flick through it yesterday in smiths and it looked pretty good...not sure its worth £3.99 with the shoddy paper its printed on, I am sure I will still buy it though next time I am in.

I bought the 1st issue, not that interested actually. I'd like to see some tech articles in the mix.

Is everything in this second issue still mentioned with the phrase "investment opportunity"?

I picked up both copies at the Classic motorshow at the Nec as none of my local news agents appeared to he stocking it.

My verdict, brilliant!!! Already looking forward to the next edition.

Aside from a £1 price hike, this months was very very good. Probably currently my favourite car mag actually...features all the 10-15 year old cars I liked when new and actually want to buy now!!!

Ditto-my idea of classic cars. They're what I grew up wanting, perhaps only three contemporary cars do it for me enough to buy. Whereas the amount of 80's, 90's and mid 00's cars I want is unreal...

I wish they'd put less emphasis on what the 'best buy' is and what things are worth.

Exactly; on the front cover it says, "Porsche 996. Follow the smart money, grab a 911 Turbo." Dear oh dear. That also answers Leins's question.

I bought a copy anyway but my patience and goodwill are already competing to see which will run out most quickly.

Ah, someone linked to it earlier, it implied it was on there. No worries!
