The only circulation figure that's official is the ABC one. Go to http://www.abc.org.uk/ and type in a magazine. Ours has fluctuated in recent months, and the month when it snowed was a crippler, hence the ABC is less than we currently sell. Any magazine NOT declaring an ABC has something to hide - i.e. a very low circulation.
so top gears's figures are still not what max's were 10 years ago

Also 'certain' mags have been known to have been bought in bulk by the publishers and then dumped in the sea!!!

Some also have a massive 'free subs' list which they add onto their figures, hence why the ABC figure now states whether they're news stand sales or not.

I wonder what the sales figures will be for the final issue?

I'm certainly going to buy it. I wonder how many readers of old will buy it for old times sake.

Ive only ever bought it in recent years for the stereo adverts when im looking for a new head unit, lol, you couldnt have more adverts to flick through and see what was available in your price range,

When the massive bodykit and stereo scene died it seemed to become associated with that, and it never moved on, i would occasionally pick it up and flick through in a shop if i had time but most the articles were of no interest to me, but there were the odd good one, its a shame as it could have been good if they moved with the times,
