Can't believe it's that time already but the September issue is now out. I'll be working on the November issue soon - yikes! Your thoughts etc feedback...

Come on peeps let us know what you really think...

On first glance was the "classic tips" old stylee hints and tips a repeat?

I thought that - the "Fan-See that" one's definitely been shown before.

And YEY it's already out! And this time Sainsbury's haven't hidden it sideways; behind Classics Monthly

And I am SO winning that jack; my one's keeled over at a funny slant and doesn't really fit underneath the cars!

Aa

Havent read it all as only got it yesterday but why are you quoting bhp improvement in an article about fuel consumption or is each section just a typo meaning mpg?

Or does removing the rubbish from your boot really improve your engines power? lol

Yes, if you replace the random rubbish with one of these:


which, in case the general clutter has confused anyone, is fitted to this:


And that is how to get banned from both the Kitten Register and SmartzUK on the same day.

About as appropriate as a moustache on the Baby Jesus,

apparently.


Please excuse my Reliant-based excursion from the plot. September's edition has that Jag with the Range Rover bits. That is - IMHO - a good thing. It also has a celebration of 40 years of the Marina. That too, and also IMHO, is a good thing, but why, oh why, does buying from a retail newsagent again - after subscribing for ages - feel so grubby?

Next month, I shall mostly be buying my copy in disguise.

Oh hang on, that's Crap, tickly plastics I'm thinking about isn't it.

Disappointed would rather sum up my feelings, both about this issue and most recent ones... That Marina bit was a prime example... I was hoping to get a bit of a read about the car, all i got was one photo spread over two pages, virtually no writing and a small photo in one corner... Even for a Marina fan it was hardly worth buying the mag...

I get the impression that you are trying to spread yourself too thinly in an effort to try to please everyone and, as far as I'm concerned, there's just not enough "content" just scraps of articles... Don't get me wrong, it seems that the "DIY" part is ok, but the rest is a quickly read mishmash with no decent reading...

Sorry, lads, but when my subs come up I doubt I'll be renewing based on recent copies...

mine arrived today
dont sell the datsun danny! we need more of your heroic tales

£10 for a Minor brake disc conversion? Sounds very, very reasonable.

Not read all of it yet but like what I have! Especially liked the gas guzzler test, and the 4x4 Jag. In contrast to a previous poster I think the mag has really improved recently. I was havin a clearout and came accross some 3-4year old copies - and whilst these were good the current mag beats it hands down!

I've just had a quick read of the February, 2018 edition. That article about building your own time machine in an average, domestic single garage is really useful.
