David the Ed' has been busy and the next issue is Rammed to the brim with content. We have a new technical editor on board so welcome to Rob Hawkins (many of you will know him). As a special the magazine has for the sixth consecutive issue jumped in size and now over 35% thicker than it was under previous publisher. The magazine is swelling with good technical (see below). The cover car confirms this with an engineering marvel!
It’s NOT too late to sign up now and get this issue through the door when it goes to press in a week or so £2.33 an issue plus £1 P&P (Royal mail charged at cost). Thats a saving on the £4 cover price as well.
