Anyone who owns a Ghibli Open Cup deserves my time (and probably money, to keep the Cup running) so I shall subscribe. When I had my Maserati, I very nearly bought a TUV road registered Open Cup Evo in Germany many years ago, but decided against it as it was still very much a stripped out racing car and a bit impractical for single car duties. I regret that decision to this day.
That's Doug's, the publisher/creative director's car. Currently awaiting suspension components from Italy!My dream of a Ghibli Cup is but a dream for a while yet...
Once again, thank you to all those who have signed up and bought individual issues and subscriptions. There was a last-minute hitch and then the Easter holidays sprang up. UK purchasers that signed up before yesterday should get theirs over the weekend, while European deliveries should take place over the next week. Again, sorry for the delay but the hitch was quite an obvious one and, put it this way, I'll never look at a Miura again without a slight cringe.

Do you know if WH Smith stock it?
There are plans for a limited WH Smiths option on the cards, but not currently for issue 1 (though things may change going forwards). It's important to note there won't be the kind of nationwide distribution model familiar to my former employment - so it won't be in supermarkets, or in every newsagent. The best place to buy a copy is the website; we appreciate that diving into a year-long subscription without thumbing through a copy in a shop first isn't ideal, so we are offering free shipping on individual issue purchases in the UK, so you can get a taste of what we're about. However, there will be some independent shops stocking it (Magazine Heaven, for example), and in the USA it'll be in Barnes & Noble, as well as other international markets.rallycross said:
Looks interesting
I hope they at least make a passing reference to this old legend, when it came out it was the hooligan of hot-hatches!

Thank you, the reason for asking was so I could read it asap!NathanChadwick said:

I'm based in Peterborough so it's become a wonderful if expensive point of pilgrimage.

Are they open at the moment? I'd have thought wandering in would be the 12th?

They've been fortunate to be open throughout on account of being a 'newsagent' (albeit a rather posh one). I often find myself succumbing to the more technical Race Technology magazines, the likes of which I've never seen stocked elsewhere, as well as the low volume quality motoring magazines. Your new title will fit right in and I hope attract a lot of buyers. I look forward to picking up future issues and start reading them upstairs with a coffee and one of their posh sarnies on the go I'm based in Peterborough so it's become a wonderful if expensive point of pilgrimage.

If you see a tall gentleman who desperately needs a haircut having an emotional moment in front of the car mags stand, do say hello.
Thanks again for everyone’s kind comments.
I’ve done a podcast with Headboltz which explains a little more about the project.

Greatly relieved to discover it’s not a magazine about angular 1980s Fiats.
I'm disappointed to see it isn't Agreed though, looks interesting, so I've ordered the first one. I can't remember the last time I bought a Car Mag, and I don't think that's just me.
