This months Classic Cars mag

[Gp79]

There’s a bit about the Bora for anyone interested.
It is actually Feb edition, can anyone explain why you buy magazines 2 months early??

Got the January issue in my stocking with an article on buying a Maserati Ghibli II and that the GranCabrio was on the cusp of classicness

IMO, the GranCab will never be a classic because it was a car without a role; it’s a GT car that can carry 4 people across continents, as long as they have no baggage. The boot is tighter than a shark’s chuff and, most probably, a lot smaller.

I’m not sure owners of GC’s are that bothered about the small boot. They have other cars for carrying stuff. And most won’t use it to cross continents either, as they use aeroplanes for that. Certainly, I’ve not found the boot a problem (small though it definitely is). Indeed, last summer I took my family (of 4) on a surfing holiday to Cornwall, sun shining, roof down, in style. Not something any other Maser could have done. But of course, if there was more luggage space, I’d not complain.

Somebody did once explain why magazines are always ahead of themselves but it was at a party, I think I must have zoned out because I can’t , for the life of me , remember what the reason was

It's just that if someone sees a magazine on a shelf dated (for example) "January" and another of a similar topic dated "February", most will buy the February magazine, believing it to contain more recent info. So to try and out-do their competitors, magazines are forward dating their editions more and more. Hence "March" issues being available before Christmas.

I have no idea. And I work for one.
