Got mine yesterday. Cool little Outmotoring keychain in it too! It's all still in the wrapper. It's gonna be my treat tonight, when I get 2 secs of quietude.

I haven't subscribed yet, but has anyone seen it at B&N yet? I've seen 2-3 copies of issue #3 left on the shelves at both places for a while. Hopefully that won't effect the new copies coming in. Also I wonder if the keychain is for subscribers only... Hmmmmm.

I see there's a forum on the MC2 website, now.

Haven't gotten mine, yet, but that's no surprise since they weren't mailed that long ago. I did see it at Monterey.

Ok, I still didn't get mine today. One of those kooks down at the Post Office must be gawking at it while I wait.

I'm calling someone tomorrow!
Or maybe it will come tomorrow???

It was no problem at all, aside from my tendency to get motion sickness, and that wasn't your fault. Being a passenger there, looking through the camera the whole time, and especially shooting out the back was asking for trouble. I appreciate all the help with the shots and I'm looking forward to next year, too!

Yeah I have been to 4 B&N stores (some 2-3 times) as well as 1 Borders looking for issue #4. They seem to be thrown off because they still have it listed as quarterly and don't expect to see any come in for another 2 weeks! I can't last much longer, I need my new MC2! And same as you, when I get this one, I am subscribing!

2 more weeks!?! I figured. Do you find yourself, looking behind Issue #3, hoping to find Issue #4 beneath it all or behind any other Automotive mag in that section??? Nice sig by the way! I have a silver bonnet strip (roof) too and it looks nice on that blue as well!

Watch out!

Susbscriptions are raising quickly, and lots of people are going to the web site to order the back issues. I think they're down to a few issue 1, and not sure about the rest, but they are going. Turns out that a lot of people going to MTTS have never heard of NAM or MC2, and are subscribing like crazy! And they're buying the back issues. I'm not sure I'd wait for B&N, as they seem to be a bit spotty at times.....

FWIW.....

Matt

Just ordered a 2 year subscription. I talked to the rep and she said that if you subscribe your first issue will be #5 in November. Will still have to look out for Issue #4 at Borders.

It's more expensive...

but you can order back issues from the MC2 web site. But then, there's more certainty to it as well.
