Excellent - content looks like another winner ;D - Can't remember the last time I saw a Dimma 205 in the flesh - probably mid 80's

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Point of order
"Manta A & B-Series
70s & 80s Vauxhall coupes compared"
VAUXHALL? My car is pure Opel I'll have you know.

Shortly after the original format of Retro Cars went out of print (couple of years ago, was it?), I bought every single back issue from the 'Bay - a tenner for the whole lot. Best tenner I ever spent |

I don't know anything about that though...ahem. i like reading the articles, not putting the writers down etc. just wish they would do a bit more than rally/race escorts. 24v capris xflow'd anglia's etc. obviously it starts to become difficult when everybody is making carbon copies of other peoples cars i say all this but i still buy them ;D |

Ah right, its a re-hash of the old mag is it? I got the old one for a while but it fizzled out. Have to admit to being a CF mag subscriber for many years now, but do like a bit of variety. I will get hold of a copy next week and look out for the back issues.

WHsmiths & (as of this month) train and motorway service stations throughout the land. Weirdly specific question, but I don't suppose you know which stations, do you? Only place I can find near me that sells it is the Southside centre in Wandsworth so I won't be able to get it till the weekend, but if it's available in WHSmiths in Victoria station I can nip out and get it tomorrow lunchtime ;D |

We know the distribution has been a major issue, with this service station and a Martins newsagents deal (from Oct issue) we hope it won't be so hard to come by. WHsmiths is still a good bet. If anyone is still having problems please drop us a line and we can pester the distributors: retrocars@unity-media.com You can also order single issues or subscribe by calling: 01732 748084 |
