Magazines

Does anyone know where I can get a LR Owners International or similar LR biased mag on subscription here in Oz? (So I can wallow in one eyed LR heaven!).

I currently have a subssription to 4WD Monthly, but the amount of content in that mag I find interesting is too small to justify the cost. That and anytime they have a LR featured half the article is dedicated to sling mud at LR's, and the technical part is full of errors, (eg mentions of automatic locking hubs on Defenders, the new "Puma" defender having a "hill start" mode....).

Anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Tim

It's just in the newsagents.... the ones that tend to have more magazines at least.

Hi Slunnie, unfortunalty my local news agent doesn't carry it (They don't even carry 4WD Monthly!).

That and it's nice to have something in the mail that isn't a bill!!

Why not trying a Google search on the title?

Should give you the name of the publisher and

They should have a website and a direct subscription option.

Edit: Try this http://www.lro.com/news.php?sid=159&page=1

Both LRO and LRM do international subscriptions. However, I also have a couple of years worth of back issues here if you want to borrow for a read whilst you're waiting for your first issue to arrive?

Thanks, I've only tried searching for the subscription in Australia, I didn't realise they did international subscriptions. I might have to take you up on that offer Jeff! No doubt we'll catch up when Dave visits.

Cheers,

Tim

Our local newsagency gets 2 copies each month. One is ordered for us and the other always sells to someone else (I'll have to find out who).

We originally had to ask them to get it in as it isn't in every newsagency.

You can subscribe, according to the latest edition it costs 66.50 POUNDS for 13 issues posted airmail to Australia from the UK.

We pay $A13.95 each edition at our local newsagent. So you'll have to work out whether subscription is cheaper at the present time (who can tell with the current financial issues).

Their email address is:
Greatmagazines.co.uk - Land Rover Owner

or you can contact them :

LRO, Bauer Media, Tower House, Sovereign Park, Lathkill Street, Market Harborough, Leicester, England LE169EF

Hope this helps.
Mrs. Bundalene

Thanks Mrs Bundalene, at the current exchange rate I'll save a whole $1.25 an issue if I subscribe directly! I've asked my local newsagent if they'll get it in for me, but they have no interest in doing that Looks like it will be eaisest to subscribe direct.

Thanks for all the help everyone!!!

That's pretty sad if the newsagent won't get it in. Our newsagent is really small and doubles up as a little "country-style" supermarket/take away/deli etc. but he still gets lots of overseas mags in - if you ask for them.

A subscription is probably the best option - at least you'll be guaranteed get them.

I can assure you the magazine is read from cover to cover by Hubby & Son.

Well, I used to find I got my subscription well before the mag appeared at the local newsagent, so it's not just about the savings....

They often do discounted deals too, though no freebies for the overseas subscribers.
