Default ok, redlines turn for the dojj treatment

well, it would have been but i can't find an issue anywhere

i've tried petrol stations, i've tried newsagents, i've even tried them little shitty shops that still sell grot mags

but i have been unable to find a copy of it anywhere in my vicinity

there is always the possibility that it's sold out over the week i was tucked up in bed ill so i can't discount that, but even places such as whsmiths didn't have it when i looked there on the 18th, nor were tesco carrying it even though they always have in the past

when it is due out?

and, if i've missed it, where can i get a copy from now?

thank you please

unfortunatly, i dno't think there is an asda anywhere near where i live, although i can make a huge detour on the way home (about 6 miles) to go and visit one and check

the only problem is that i will have to pay for parking the car can i claim this back on expenses?

thank you for the offer of borrowing one, but i've told everyone tomorrow that they need to call in at several petrol stations along the way to see if they can buy me a copy of said magazine

if they are the first there is a fiver waiting for them when they get back

(how much is the mag? is it more than a fiver? i can't rememebr)

i now have a subscription

and, seeing as there was a bit of a problem with actually buying it (i had a fiver in my pocket, bought 4 lemons for a pound on the undestanding that it would be Ł4 for the mag, went to the shop, the guy had the last issue open and was reading it, i haggled him for the price of Ł4 as it was open, he dropped off the gumball booklet this morning so i'm going to have a look at that when i get home, and then i had some shady drug smoking shiftyness eyeing me up as i walked home again) it took a while to get everything read and sorted

best bit? stav actualy cracking a smile in one of the picture

worst bit? jim's/paul's/jb's m3 at silverstone

that drifting shunt on page 10 and whatever the funk that is on page 11 dav's rant colour coded wheels and the coil over test are also very good

i shall await someone else to add to the post now

i was only comlainging that i couldn't find it anywhere mate

after rediscovering it a few months ago it gets better and better

i would never think of buying a vw mag
in the same way as i would never considier buying a jap mag
but redline seems to have piles of cars from this section and yet i buy it because it's enjoyable as well as informative
