Hi there. If I may, I’d like to bend your ear for a moment about the current situation with magazines and print media.

Let’s get down to brass tacks: sales are falling under lockdown. Of course they are – there are fewer people buying magazines in shops.
But don’t forget that all your favourite mags are available to buy online, either for postal delivery or digital download!

Look at it this way: buying a magazine costs about the same as going out for a coffee. But you can’t go for a coffee. So instead, why not enjoy some quality content in print while also helping to support a worried industry – and maybe save some jobs?

‘But what about content?’ you may ask. Fear not, we’ve got this. Sure, we’re not out driving and shooting cars (just like music mags aren’t out at gigs, travel mags aren’t travelling, and so on), but we’ve been stockpiling content. We’ve got so much good stuff to share.

So your favourite mags will be just as good as they’ve ever been. You just need to keep buying them occasionally, that’s all. Or better yet, subscribe. That makes each mag much cheaper for you!

Here’s a bunch of handy links to help you order mags online. I’ll start with some that I write for because hey, I’ve got kids to feed…

First of all, there’s @fastcarmagazine – the UK’s definitive guide to the coolest modified cars, and has been since 1987. Very diverse, you’ll like it.
