Maybe not in the shops yet, but as a subscriber I get mine early... nerd

There's a few pics from Brooklands, but a "full write up" next month.

There's also an article about a new staff car - a Sprinty 20VT 6 that was (allegedly) once owned by an FCCUK member - going for a "professional" clean at Auto Glym's HQ...I saw a sponge and an Aqua-Blade thingy and just couldn't read any more though, had to turn the page quickly wink

Got mine today, but have left it at home rolleyes

The Sprinty belongs to the editor, Phil. It is not his first Coupé and I doubt it will be his last. He appears to have a soft spot for them smile

There's also an ad for Stanford Hall next month with a piccy of last year's show, loads of coupes on there (including mine on the end)

Its a great issue actually, although I've only looked at the pictures, I'm too hungover to read anything coffee

And not a red coupe in sight .. I'll check my diary smile

The feature on the Coupe shocked Autoglym using a sponge, jetwashing mats, water blade, I have a feeling any readers of the mag at detailing-world will be having a field day wink

The fact they make a big deal of their 'new' applicator / polish off device annoys me, in the fact that loads of decent microfibers and applicators are available, just not made by AG, I realise it's an advert but grrr all the same laugh

Is Phil registered on the forum ? Lovely standard Sprinty regardless laugh

I believe he is. There is a bit of a gentleman's agreement on here that we don't scan AI articles about the Coupe as we're trying to promote the car + the mag & there are usually a few articles about the model over the course of a year. I believe that Phil is a fan of the Coupe & this is their 3rd example of a staff car.

Aye, speaks volumes when the Editor of AI is on his 2nd ( did he have one before the dark blue 20v ) Coupe smile

My Mum often reads the Coupe articles, I've no intention of scanning the magazine, it's a bargain if subscribed to in my opinion laugh

I think he does mention that it's his 3rd Coupe in the article. I think a lot of people on here have it on subscription too, the scanning comment was just to raise awareness to other thread readers. The mag has certainly improved recently both in content & presentation. smile
