A massive congratulations to Nathan and team. I arrived back from a week away to find my copy waiting for me. What a beautiful publication (magazine doesn’t seem to do it justice!). It oozes quality from cover to cover and covers my preferred era of cars. I’m going to read it slowly to take it all in properly. All is well with the world! Thank you once again.

My copy came through the letter box this morning.

Fair play, it's a lovely item. Far too good for a magazine rack. It needs a bookcase!

My concours copy arrived this morning to replace the crunched first one. Thanks to Nathan for being so diligent and responsive in sorting things out!

The mag really is a great read; I strongly recommend those who haven’t subscribed yet to do so!

Bit late to the party. Mine arrived last week. Not had much time to digest yet but seems absolutely superb from quick flick through and a read of the 550 article. Feels like I've robbed you paying only £30 for four issues. Not complaining!

Someone put me out of my misery. The cover shot looks like Buttermere in the background but the article doesn't talk about going there and the road looks like it's coming out of the valley in the wrong direction for Honnister pass. Is that a Buttermere/Crummock doppelganger or a composite image?

Finally got mine today. It took a week from ordering and I was starting to fear the worst. It does smell proper, as others have noted.

It's certainly Buttermere from the top of Haystacks. That would put the sunset in the north and the brand new road the Ferrari is on must be at least 1 in 2 gradient.

So you did. And on that thread of yours, Nathan posted

Thankyou, and Thankyou to everyone who's subscribed or bought the first issue. Copies should be arriving over the next few days; it was meant to be earlier but a last-minute hitch and Easter has delayed things slightly.

There'll be special something we've done with Pistonheads that should go live today or tomorrow, which should flesh out what Strada is and where it came from. All has something to do with a Maserati Ghibli II... not the first magazine with that car to thank for its inception....
which is this article (note the 'PROMOTED' tag). I guess they could've pointed this article's discussion back to your original thread, although that might be a little bit strange as the thread would pre-date the article.

As its a quarterly magazine and the first issue was out on the 7th April, I'd say the next one is due around the 7th July. I think another week before they start to ship the second issue.

I noticed their social media on Facebook and Twitter stopped around April time. Hope they’re ok.

No sign of them at the London Classic Car Show either, which doesn't augur well given that they were supposed to be sponsoring one of the exhibits
