there was this query in evo site, about what you would appreciate with evo. One question being the special covers. Looks like they have it now.
Here´s what else can be found from the mag:
Flat out in Jaguar's new XK, 1000 miles in AM's V8 Vantage and a track head-to-head with Porsche's extreme 997 Carrera S. Also a V10 special, as we match BMW's M5 against Lamborghini's Gallardo. On sale now.

Goodwin has raised the ire of one reader with his snipe at Ferrari fans in last month's road trip. Sticking with the Ferrari theme, another reader has caught Maranello's finest engineers testing the BMW M6. Their conclusion? Over-engineered and under-priced... and where's the matching tan leather luggage set?
070 Aston V8 Vantage
No more hype, no more spin; we've covered over 1000 miles in Aston's new baby, from the heart of Warwickshire to the tip of North Wales, then across the Pennines to the top of the North York Moors. The V8 Vantage tackles the toughest roads we know, faces its arch rival, the Porsche 911 Carrera S, and laps our demanding test circuit. In an exhaustive and exhausting 36 hours, we put the V8 Vantage through what we reckon is the ultimate test. So, does the Vantage live up to the hype?
096 New Jaguar XK
Aston's £80,000 baby is pitched squarely against the 911, but it could face another rival closer to home in the shape of the less expensive, potentially more powerful and similarly sleek new Jaguar XK.
John Barker joins Jaguar's chassis guru, Mike Cross, in a prototype XK on some of his secret test routes in North Wales, and we discover if the Ford group's two jewels are embarking on a civil war or treading complementary paths

122 Nissan Micra 160SR vs Ford SportKa

126 BTCC vs Baby Bertha
When Gerry Marshall drove Baby Bertha - a monstrously powerful V8-engined silhouette Vauxhall Firenza - he won everything in sight during the 1970s. These days the Vauxhall Astra VXR is enjoying similar success in the BTCC in the hands of Yvan Muller. We compare cars and drivers
