Got my email confirmation that my new issue will start with "next month". That should be February!

The email also has the username and password to log onto their site. Right now they have the December issue on-line and its got some good stuff in it. Nicely done. No crap in this mag. I think I'll give them $12 for the yearly subscription.

The Hemmings site now has the January issue on their site available to be read. Their site lags the newsstand by 1 month it seems (for obvious reasons). Anybody see the Feb issue on the racks yet?

Not yet. I just picked up the January issue about a week ago. It says to display until Jan. 17. So I assume the Feb. issue will hit newsstand on the 18th. You should have yours in the mail about a week before that. Chuck

Just one, but it looked great!

Well I finally got to read the article today. Pretty nice write up. That white car sure looks familiar. :wink:
Photo wise, there were a couple of great shots, including one of Skip in the car at speed. Very favorable coverage for our cars in general!

Did you get your first issue yet?

I'm starting to get impatient!

I checked the newsstand at the grocery store and they had December's! Barns & Noble didn't have any that I could find.

Mike,

I recieved mine last week so it should be arriving soon.

Nice article, however I would have liked to have at least seen a side-bar that would have shown a few pictures of a nice Coupe example and also the GPIV. Wouldn't have to be anything huge but I think it would have helped readers get an idea of what they looked like.

I am thrilled that we got some coverage though and I can understand that there are time & space requirements that limit these things for print.

Maybe this will generate some interest and we will be fortunate to have them do future article that would showcase the Coupes.

Nope, not yet. Each day I trek to the mailbox, find that it is not there, and issue a "d'oh!" It's making me crazy, particularly since the invoice arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, same here. Got the invoice but no "free issue".

I wonder if I'll get a second invoice before I get my "free issue"?

My own issue just came. I applied the day after you posted the link, so I would think yours is in route.

"Bah" - That's funny. Mike, this magazine is going to turn you into a curmudgeon before your time.
