It just says the print version is finishing up so still available as a digital version.

I hate digital versions, as the patient said to the proctologist.
That said a year ago I stopped buying classic car magazines as her indoors complained they were taking up too much space.
I figured they were an investment & that one day I'd line my room in the nursing home with them and just flick through the colour pics until I woke up in heaven.
I have saved a lot of petrol money over 12 months...
Also after the first 3 years I cancelled my sub to Classic Land Rover. I could see that it was a never ending gift of eccentric stories and pictures.
Will there be a Pimping Your Grenadier lifestyle magazine?

Maybe it won't be long before there's an Ineos Grenadier Owner International starting publication.

I have mixed feelings about the demise of LROi; I was a subscriber, (I'll be getting a few more Practical Classics for my subs), but I didn't love it. Too much stuff from Britpart and Nene Overland, neither of whom are in my good books. Too much orange crap from Extreme, too silly to be taken seriously, and adverts for stuff I don't need. (I've still got a LR90).

I'll miss Roverphile and the problem pages.

LRM thinks they will grow their circulation.

I stopped subscribing some time ago, and it's along time ago I used to "browse" it on the shelves of WH Smith whilst waiting for a late train.

Haha. Done exactly the same. It was always the one I looked for. I used to know a guy who did a lot of their photography.

Shame to see its demise. Thing is forums like help kill the old magazines. Clearly not intentionally but you can see other owners vehicle (), ask advice problems etc and get answers almost immediately, and generally see the latest vehicle toys via links to other sites.

You are probably right. But there are some magazines that still help out and are a good read. I bought the explorer magazine (German) the first time two weeks ago.
Besides technical tips and vehicle tests the travelogues are really great and make you wish to start a trip right away.

Allowing Nene Overland to advertise is a bad omen in my books

Completely agree. Some questions about them. Presume this is a newco as I thought they’d gone into administration/liquidation following US export activity that didn’t quite meet the rules!

For anybody that doesn’t know about Nene Overland then Check the owner out. I don’t want to incriminate myself

I take a leaf out Mr Merton’s book and end every statement with allegedly if I’m on thin ice.

But best to keep naming and shaming away from here. So thanks for that it’s appreciated.
