Does anyone know which shops stock this?

I've tried multiple WH Smiths, both up North and the WH Smiths in Euston station. Tried some local newsagents but also no sign of the magazine.

I placed an order with Magazines Direct once I couldn't find the magazine in stores but they have since refunded my order.

Could try the publisher directly?

If you just want to read it, rather than have a copy to keep, then any library which uses the ‘Libby’ app will have it.

As far as I understand the magazine has closed after the October issue.

Thankyou, but looking for a hard copy.

Cool. I have to ask - how did the 996s do? I see a GT3 and a C4S?

Two 996s in that list is impressive.

I think the 996 40 year got a bit of a bump up the rankings there on account of the editor owning one.

Glad the mag has shut up shop - typical low quality journalism.

I remember when I had my 40yr anniversary many years ago it was a 3.5 star car in total 911....rather miffed at the time.

Editor buys one and now it's apparently in the top 5......lovely work!

As an owner, did you feel it was better than the 996 it was based on?

I thought the interior is a real step up as it has leather everywhere and the spec included the LSD, sports suspension. The real benefit is the x51 power kit which made the top end really exciting and when I bought it it was pretty much the same price as a regular Carrera as hardly anyone knew about them so a complete no brainer.

I bought mine in WHSmiths here in Taunton.

But that was last week I think.

I've just been in to buy my usual Classic Cars/Car combo in the plastic bag but a) they didn't have that in and b) I'm afraid I didn't spot if they still had copies of Total 911.

As it's on its way out, I wonder if they didn't print so many? Or, like me, a whole bunch of us suddenly decided to buy a copy this month?!

Ah, cool, that certainly sounds good especially if the price is the same!

Many local newsagents have copies. If necessary PM me and I will buy a copy if necessary. Loads locally here.
