Where would you like to see the magazine?

[freeferrarisdonotexist]

I was in the US for a long time, (some servers still show US ip addresses, i brought my computer over the Atlantic back to the UK). But TG magazine was fairly popular where I lived, though the importing was S-L-O-W; the magazines themselves were almost always three weeks late, and even a month late if you went for the original UK edition. But they went from the shelves very quickly, so I assume it sold well.

Any chances of having it in Spain?

in Heathrow Airport!!

I had a 2 hour stopover there last week and looked all over my terminal for one, and couldnt find it. They might have been out though, I did find a Top Gear car review magazine with only reviews though.

Im going there again in 2 days, hopefully Ill have better luck...its a long flight back home!

Hey TGUKGLM,

It would be great if you had a Chilean edition of Top Gear magazine, the show has kind of an underground following here in Chile but its quite large, and I'm trying to help it get bigger! HaHa. I read somewhere before you were intrested in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

Also some of the rumours of the guys coming to film here this year would help wth sales I'd imagine.

Cheers

I bought TG Magazine at Niece Intl. Airport for E9. Then saw it for L4 at my stopover at Hethrow.

I got ripped off.

We get the uk version in Belgium, (after you drive 20 miles in my case) only it would be nice to include the goodies aswel....wouldn't realy care if the magazine got more expensive because of that.

I have seen the netherlands version in dutch here aswel..... that's just wrong

you, sir, are correct

I can find the UK version of the mag here, it just takes effort, because there's no logic in who has it. Big supermarket : nope, huge car related shop : not a chance, obscure little magazine store : BINGO

I get mine from a large magazinestore in Hasselt, thats the only place i know of witch is sortoff in my area, part from that there's not much round here....

They carry a large assortement of some rather REALY specialised magazines to btw, a "farming equipment monthly" anyone? something specialised in needlepoint? :p

I know this is an older post...but...

That does NOT explain the cost to us here in America.

Right now, on the site..it's $149 a year?

I'm assuming for that, James May delivers it in a flaming caravan??

(okay..I would pay $149 for that....)

What I've been doing is: have my bf in Norfolk buy me a copy each month...then mail it to me.

Even doing this, on a one to one basis...and the fact that for each copy it's rather labor intensive..

I only pay about 20% of the official cost to us here in America.

I do the same, my aunt is currently an American expatriot in London (uncle got a job transfer from NY to London, works for Unilever), and she buys it in the local shops in Little Venice and whenever she comes back to visit for the Jewish holidays she gives the recent one to me...

still have to pay her back for her troubles.

Oh, I do the same. I pay my bf for the mag and the shipping every month...but..

Dang! Just offer it to us at a reasonable cost BBC!

[Alberto]

It's $10 here and always late--I think it has something to do with a mixture of the old exchange rate and the VAT...

[Cortez122]

Can i recommend Slovenia.
Yes i know it's a small country whit a small market,but you would believe how many Top gear fans are here.
And if you do consider bringing the TG mag here,just export the UK version.

[maxtortheone]

As I've said before, and I know we have a local version but that's not enough

Do I live in some sort of remote village where the postman has to swim 10 km upstream and fight wild bears and wolfs just to give me my magazine? And from what I've heard, no DVDs or extras for us as well.

Oh, and isn't the thickness generated by commercials?
