Wow, has the quality gone up markedly? (And I'm not just talking about the Fast Fleet article on the Nissan GT-R that starts on p.126 ).
Cover and paper quality up massively.

Oh and congrats Audio_Chris, make space on your wrist. (The "daftest thing you've done in a car" thread.)

I haven't got it yet. What was your GTR's lap time?

Is it in the shops or is it only subs copies that have come through?

MI5 have confirmed he had committed suicide using the traditional Russian method: He shot himself 3 times in the head then hid the gun.

1:19.6 running 580hp, on MPSSs and standard suspension.
1:19.2 exactly as above, but on the Litchfield suspension.

Both with Dickie M driving and on similarly hot days.

I'll let you look up how that compares to the standard cars evo have tested...

It's official, that's the worst subs cover evar. Come on chaps, have some faith in your photographers. Is this the work of this Rob Gould character?

Only read Henry's Caterham R600/SP300R article so far, good work as always.

You're in the minority there. Dean (who took the shot) Tweeted "Lots of love for the Subscribers cover, I'll shut up about it soon... ta very much!"

What do you mean "have some faith in your photographers"? Did you think it was CGI or something?

And what about the actual quality of the cover and paper? Feels better to me.

And a buying guide on Clios! Maybe Swervin Mervin should have held onto his just in case...

Also saqw a picture of a goldy beige Quattroporte. NOt sure if it is the real thing or an "artists" rendering but they have grafted on an Audi rear end and it looks rubbish!

What would Daddy Pig do?

Gawd knows, looks like an M600 wrapped in a gay pride flag.

Quality wise, yeah, probably feels a little better quality.

£3600 to go 0.4 seconds faster, David?

Are you sure you didn't just take a dump before the faster time was set?

Look forward to hearing what it can do once it gets the power upgrades

You Sir, are rude, arrogant and selfish. And so is your son.

Looks good, and glad to see the RS4 longtermer, although it should have gone to Henry

IYNSHO, Not a good cover (super rainbow spoiled the lines of the car and hid the engine, might have been nicer in B&W) and spoiled totally by that stupid merc ad.

And less said about tuners monthy in FF the better

The cover being 6mm thinner than the rest of the mag really annoys me more than it should! The quality does seem better, but that just ruins it.

I hate them fold out front pages when there's an advert on the back of it

As ever, I'm not keen on photoshop front covers

That's enough moaning anyway, the actual contents of the mag looks good to me!

What can I say, I'm a traditionalist, I just want nice photos of nice cars on the cover just like we get inside the mag innit.

Just to clarify (as Dean's not here to do so), it's not Photoshop. The idea behind the image was to try to encapsulate the entire Spirit of Speed package in a single shot, rather than it representing the Noble drive story alone. We'll leave you to figure out how it was done.

Interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on this and the rest of the issue. Keep 'em coming.

Drove through a gay pride demonstration (or carnival, which is it?) with a camera strapped to the back on a mega long exposure?

TBF I can see what you're trying to do with it, and it makes sense. I just don't like it personally, looks like I'm in a minority though.

Sub issue arrived yesterday, had a quick flick (of the mag!!) looks to be a cracker.
Gutted reading about the orange lambo!
Cover looked cool to me, BMW art car almost
