Got my Evo late last week through subscription.. and yes these cars are all tested in the "driven" section. More interesting in my opinion is a test of the classic Audi Quattro and the cover story TVR Sagaris, and the only road legal Speed 12

For those who have a subscription, in what condition do your mags arrive in? Mine are usually scuffed, sometimes quite badly. Pisses the shit out of me :x

Mine arrives in mint condition everytime :roll:

Does it look as though the outer packaging has been tampered with or opened?!

The spines on mine are a bit messy, and once, the cover was totaly creased in half - must have been when they packaged it, but it shouldn't be like this.... i pay them good money, yet i would rather get a nice copy from Smith's :roll:

Same here, they're usually pretty messy down the side. Unacceptable.... It was my gf who got me the subscription as one of my Xmas presents, when she asked them if anything would come through my postbox before Xmas day they said "don't be silly". A week before Xmas i got a card saying "congrats you have been given a year's subscription to evo from <gf's name>"

She was pissed off, and rightly so. Fucking useless service :fist:

Usually they are mint despite the flight from Uk to Switzerland, but I have to say, a couple of times they were a bit ruined on the corners :bah:

That must have ruined the suprise then :roll:

I'm considering not re-subscribing, but i get offered it a £29.#@ per year, adn with the cover price now at £3.95, it wouldn't make sense to not subscribe

Yeh unfortunately despite my experience with the service I received when chaging my delivery address, I will keep on subscribing simply for the financial saving - and this year I got first three issues for free 8)

so where are scans if people got their magazines :roll:

I do subscribe myself also, but i am just so anxious to read that tvr article, and i haven“t received my copy yet.

My mags come always in a plastic cover, also my CAR mags, so they are always in mint condition.

Unlucky, but what condition do your issues arrive in?

As I said above, usually in good condition, the plastic envelope it enough to protect them, but a couple of them were ruined indeed like if somebody threw them around or something.. sadly it's up to postal services :bah:

I am also anxiously waiting for tonight“s fifth gear episode, sagaris and tuscan2 starring in main roles. Also Panda vs Range Rover and 200mph club project Esprit has a short story.

I wonder if the new tvrs will have the same effect on vicki“s nipples also :shock:


They are also giving away “96 Chimaera 4litre. I saw one last autumn, and i wouldn“t mind owning one.
