    Thanks for posting that Col, better go to the newsagents and see if I can find it, still haven't subscribed.

    Found it today, bought it but yet to read. The MPS story looks like it's only 2 pages. Whole mag feels pretty thin for $8.95 to be honest...

    But I guess that's the price you pay for a specialist magazine. I've enjoyed the other issues, hope this one is a good overall.

    It doesn't have a lot of advertising, so good call.

    I gotta say though, if the advertising relates directly to the content I don't mind it being there. For example, I used to like the ads in Fast Fours and Rotaries where they had all the half cuts listed, could dream about what car/motor combo you'd put together, then go price up all the other bits you needed.

    So it is. Barely half a page of three column text in total though...the rest is pics and the comparison graph.

    I like the mag but if anyone is expecting a full review of the car/s they will be disappointed.
