What's new(s)? Ferrari in periodicals.

You've been complaining about this forever. Maybe it's time to swallow it and continue with whatever makes you happy.

 

I understand there is some sort of ignore button.
Feel free to use.

The Swiss always know best, don't they?

 

Honestly, I have never had any issues with my magazines, no issues at all.
I always order them through my bookstore.
They put pressure on the publisher (if it s necessary) and they are always served.
At the end, the customer is happy.

 

I also indulged in Supercar Classics and have most issues.

I loved them.

I started buying Car magazine in the early 1980's and is the only magazine I still buy to this day.

It's changed a bit over the years but still enjoy picking it up every month.

 

The Road Rat occasionally hits the right note with me. I especially like the article about Enzo’s favorite restaurants in the Maranello area,, accompanied by a few recipes.

 

Classics & Sports Cars mention in the April 2025 issue that now all their previous issues can be found (and downloaded) in an on-line and searchable archive (paid subscription only).

 

That was a good feature and that was one of the few issues of the magazine that I actually bought. I still prefer Magneto among the relatively new breed of European car magazines.

 

If I could have just one subscription it’d be Octane.

 

Marcel, congratulations on 45 years of FCA membership!

 

I beat them to that 250 Aerodinamico by about a year...

The same thing happened to me some years ago with Ruoteclassiche.

The problem is that it´s becoming more and more difficult to buy it in newsagents outside Italy

 

I picked up issue #25 of Magneto at my local Barnes & Noble store. The cover story is about the McLaren F1, both the road car and the 1995 Le Mans winner. Their usual "Top 50" countdown is of Pininfarina designs, and not surprisingly, Ferrari is well represented, both with production cars and concept vehicles. About 15 Ferraris are represented, and so as not to spoil the fun, #1 is one of them! There is also a nice "Market Watch" article on the Maserati Merak.

 

Magazine #66 is out.

Magneto #26 is now on U.S. store shelves and is supposedly their first theme issue, and the theme is, appropriately, F1 75. Before I get to that, there are two Ferrari-specific articles in the issue, one about the never-raced F50 GT, and the other about Piero Ferrari in 1987, described as the first year he became an important part of the Ferrari organization.

As for the theme, it is largely covered biographically. There is only one real car article, that about the Alfa Romeo 158 (Alfetta). The bio articles are about (or by) Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley, Stirling Moss in 1955 (illustrated in comic-book style), Maurice Hamilton and Gordon Murray (highlighting his car designs). The usual Top 50 article is about F1 Drivers, and the order of choices is sure to raise some cackles! (Ayrton Senna = #8?) But I did correctly guess #1.

I'm a bit late to the party but I see the publication has gone from being The Official Ferrari Magazine (TOFM) to just Ferrari Magazine (FM).
