Guys

We are working really hard to put together a magazine which, hopefully, some of you really like. Feedback from readers has been resoundingly positive.

However, we are aware that its not all that easy for some of you to find a copy! This is obviously annoying and bad business!!

We are no longer stocked in Tesco (its a long story!), so we would be very interested to hear how easy or difficult it has been for you guys to find us so we can improve our distribution.

Thanks

John

I bought my last copy (Sept 05) from WHS from memory.
For what it's worth I think it's a great mag and as I'm researching my first 911 having sold my Boxster S, I found the sections on readers & their cars, very helpul & informative. Living the legend section to be specific.

Buying it from Tesco would be easier but I can appreciate how difficult those supermarkets are to deal with.
Good luck.

Hi John,

I always get my copy from WHSmiths in Canterbury (more specifically, I task my Brother or Wifey with getting my copy )...they always say that there's a few copies left there, so no probs from me.

Good work, more of the same and kudos to you for having the balls to do it!!

All I would say is that it does grate a tad when some of the writers blatently say the 911 is the be-all and end-all of automotive pleasure.

Cheers!
Spen

John, to add to the above...

As I`ve said before, nothing for me at WHS Windsor or Chipping Norton, Heathrow T1 or T4, or even my local 24hr corner shop.

Not seen a single issue yet...Frustrating!

Got mine today from Texaco garage. Excellent edition - featuring a 1972 911ST, a profile of the 3.2 clubsport and a look at 3 different RS replicas. Fantastic. The only thing missing is some classifieds... but maybe one day

None of the WHS's I pass have it - mainly the ones in Lewes and London's Victoria Station.

I noticed the Sept issue in WHS in Redditch, first time I've seen it.
I have just decided to buy it online rather than hunt around for it.
Having it stocked in Tesco's would be a bonus as others have said.

Mines delivered and I`m in the sticks in darkest Suffolk, I chose to subscribe because imo it`s a quality publication.

Not easy - couldn't see any issue 2 anywhere near here and missed it, but managed number 3 after almost giving up.

Saw and bought the first two issues in Smiffs in Kensington High Street, but have not been back for further issues so don't know if they are still stocking it.

WHSmith's in Nottingham's Victoria Centre refused to order issue one for me. They now stock it (issues 3 and 4 at least). I shall check the Wheeler Gate branch later in the week. My father reliably informs me that WHSmith's in Cheltenham stock it too.
