You just want one copy? It is quite hard to get hold of nowadays, Smiths used to sell it years ago when I first started reading it but that was back in the 1980s and it was called something different then!!  :signLOL:
A good indie newsagent should be able to order a copy easily enough.

It only costs £33 a year to subscribe and is well worth it to keep abreast with technology.

From next month you'll be able to download it if you have an iPad apparently.

I had a copy in my hand the other day in a smiths in holborn circus thought I would have a flick through with it being a GTI special and found highly amusing when I saw all the cars and names I recognised off of here! If you dont have any luck ed I can see if they still have a copy Monday morning.

I agree i would not pay £4.50 to see your car in a pic. I would maybez take look if someone placed it in front of me, but at the end of the day it's just a white GTI nearly ready for the scrapper.  :star:

It was called VW-Audi Car back then , I preferred VW Motoring at that time though (and Volksworld) , not sure VWM is still going anymore.

I used to buy VW Motoring back then too! I'm not sure what happened to it after Robin Wager sold up as I stopped getting it shortly afterwards.
I've got an attic full of old VW mags.
