There will be an official announcement shortly from the Editor of TBMW but I can let you know that they have been taken over by another publisher and that the magazine has been given a new lease of life.

Woohoooooo !!!!!

This all happened early last week but I promised Matt I wouldn't say anything until now. There hasn't yet been an 'official announcement' but Matt has mailed me to say it's all systems go.

This is very good news indeed. :D

id also buy it if i could find it on the shelfs.i enquired at my local wh smiths only to be told they couldnt get it and that the bmw market was well covered with the mags they do stock.i think they only had pbmw and bmw car.they had row after row of tractor and caravan mags though,i mean,who actually buys tractor mags?it would be less embarrasing to walk down the street with a porn mag :mad:

Thanks guys!

Tis a shame, but I've now got to the point where I've been doing cars for nearly three years now and need to move my career in another direction :)

So computers here we come :wink:

Hopefully I can still do the odd bit of freelance work for TBMW, provided my good friend Mr Robinson gives me any!
