Serious?? I went to Singapore a couple months back and it was $10.25 at the airport, for the UK edition.

And I thought Aussies were always ripped off with transport, lousy internet etc etc.

Did you buy it from the shops inside or from the shops outside?

Cos the last TG UK mag i bought from the airport was S$17.90.

Sounds like a cue for a game of "Airport Shopping Dare" but if you don't/can't afford to read the mag then that's probably meaningless.

Interesting split we have occuring here between the telly only fans who aren't interested in the mag, and those who are into both. I suppose it's a bit like those people who have never picked up a single one of Fleming's books yet call themselves Bond experts 'cos they've seen all the movies.

I love both. The magazine is similar to the show in many respects, although the opinions on the cars can vary hugely. Still, they're both fantastic!

It's just under 10 AUD here in Perth, and the Aussi Mag is less than that. When you compare it to other car magazines we get here like EVO and Wheels, which are are usually around the $15 mark and are half the size of top gear, you are getting a bloody good deal.

intersting.
IMO when it comes to actual car reviews, the mag > the show.

When it comes to cocking about, it's the other way around though

Here, Top Gear Romania is about 3 Euros, although it hasn't got as many pages as the original UK one and the reviews are usually a couple of months behind the latter. I've seen the magazine at some foreign press shops and it was about 10 Euros, which is almost double the price of the most expensive romanian mag.

Here it costs €7, and I only know this one news agent that has it (I haven't been really looking for it elsewhere). I buy it whenever I'm in the area (and if they still have it), although I always think to myself "that's the price of a very decent meal, don't waste it on a magazine."
