[s4woody]

if there,s any change then you were lied too...

[totalaudi]

Sigh...
It's out of my hands now, at the printers in the queue to be press streamed (poly bag mailed).

[s4woody]

never saw that 1 comming...

[CliveH]

anyone received theirs yet...? no sign of mine

[DavidT]

anyone received theirs yet...? no sign of mine

Nope, not yet, I'm staying positive though

[totalaudi]

Please stay positive! Tombs has passed on the mailing list to our office and it's now down to the printers to polywrap them and send out. Anytime now!!!

[CliveH]

I'm getting a feeling of deja vu (or should I say "deja entendu" ) but I'm staying positive...

[simple1]

Think I will stick to Evo...........at least that arrives every month, and some of it is worth reading......

[s4woody]

Issue 4 is ready and will be printed next week and shipped to you immediately it's ready. From then on, Total Audi will become thicker, glossier, with a perfect bound spine and more pages including classifieds and listings, detailing vital info on every Audi model ever made.

what a disappointment.. smaller,and much thinner..no bound spine..

[CliveH]

so at least yours arrived then Woody...

I was just at the point of taking up your suggestion of requesting a refund and donating it to RS246

[DaveP]

Have to say I've been keeping an eye on this and it looks really bad....

[philipwalker]

I had a copy arrive this morning, half A4 size 47 pages more like an owners club mag.

Using the words from a old maths teacher of mine "must try harder"

[s4woody]

@ clive i've requested a refund and if it is at all possible i will donate it to RS246..otherwise i,ll go dwn the pub and have a drink or 2..

By now many of you will have received issue 4 of Total Audi. Most of you, I hope, will be relieved that we're still going, while I know many of you will be a tad disappointed at it's smaller size and it's smaller page count. I'd like to explain.
We've gone down to a B5 format to give us a chance at sustaining this magazine. The cost of paper is going up, and printing small runs at A4 size has proved too high. As from next month we are going regular bi-monthly, remaining at this format size, but going up to 64 pages and with a proper perfect bound spine. Plus a thick, glossy, cover and outside back. ISSUE 4 IN NO WAY REFLECTS THE FUTURE QUALITY.
I know you have been patient souls and I VERY MUCH appreciate it. I sincerely hope that you look upon issue four as a stop gap between failing altogether and moving forward, which is what we are doing. Remember, while your subscription might be just one tank of petrol it is a lifeline to us.
I am grateful to all of you for standing by this magazine, in particular Faithle55, DuncS3, Corey, and Kieran who have all been there to urge me to keep going. Believe me I am, and your support means the world.
I really hope that you enjoy issue 4, but I promise you that as from issue 5 it's going to get a hell of a lot better.

OK, but I am very disappointed and would like you to read this as constructive criticism!

it is on glossy paper and colour but the presentation seems lacking ...... cannot say what....maybe it's the page size?
how do I know that the size does not reflect the future size, and with little advertising there must be little revenue = few pages - and they are small pages.
the size is too small, most of the contents I have already read elsewhere, and several months ago.
I've missed the cut off of three mags and if not happy a refund but I would have been seeking that and
had this been my first issue it would be my last .
Sorry.

Like Woody I'd prefer to donate to the site running costs, fewer pictures but the technical info is better !!
