Just go into your local news agents or garage and ask them to order it.

It's still very much around. We only have a very small WH Smith here, but it's still always in there.

a little bit OT, but what has happened to the "old guys" in PF? read a copy the otherday, and no known names there!

Nick and Dave f.ex.?

i know Ben left a long time ago, as did Simon.

don't know about you guys, but i kinda liked it better before....

as someone once explained to me, there are different area's that mags get sold in, but if sales drop the shops stop ordering them, and then it's very difficult to get those shops to reorder them mags again

round my way there is a drought of redline, i've got to go miles and miles to get a copy since they stopped the subscription copies
fast ford i see fairly regularly but more often than not i see performance ford on the shelves

now, this might just be a case of ff sells out quicker than pf which is why they are left on the shelves, but i think it's more likely that not as many peole are buying it, i know that i am an occasional buyer, it's got better for sure since last year, but there are too many schoolboy errors in it which makes it, in my eyes anyway, more of a rushed to get it out the door type of mag rather than having piles and piles of backup stuff waiting to get in a few months down the line

at least i'm honest

It does seem to have died a death since the old lot left, last copies i bought were rubbish! I imagine it's difficult with a whole new team to get back into the whole scene again though.

i thought the new lot have made more of an effort than the old lot, at least the writing seems different and the layout has had a few subtle changes

but the mag is still too much like the sun in it's writing, which makes it feel more of a max power type rather than trying to reach for the stadnards of evo etc where them folks write proper and talk about historical stuff while not actually talkiing about he motor in a direct way
