Where would these prints be shipped from and how much for shipping? I see 7.86GDP, so it's like...$10 an issue. I do not see subscription option.

Hi Steve, I'm on CCUK (my username over there is nthnmunky) and I've already got my hands on the first edition :gap:

Great read, huge amounts of potential and I'm looking forward to seeing the mag develop and grow. For those that haven't got a copy.... Do it!!!!

Good luck buddy.

Quick update...

Issue 1 of TPM proves to be a continuing success, with great feedback from both UK and overseas, which is great news and encouragement as we embark on the 2nd issue.

We've just officially had our first distributor/retailer for the US, www.twosrus.com we're keen to establish further reseller/retailers so anyone who is interested please drop me a pm, or an email through our website.

Thanks for the issue 1 orders and subscriptions so far guys, keep them coming so that we can continue to keep publishing a magazine truly dedicate to only Toyotas. To order your copy of issue 1 visit http://toyotaperformancemagazine.com/forum...3-Current-Issue (http://toyotaperformancemagazine.com/forum/content.php?143-Current-Issue)

And just as a reminder, we're always on the look out for performance Toyotas/Lexus to feature, please fill out the feature request form that can be found in the header of our website.

We're also testing out an alternative shipping method than airmail, to try and make TPM more affordable for you guys over the pond, so far the ones we've sent have been received within 7 days, once we're 100% happy we'll release some more details!

[ahfunaki]

You guys ever think about trying to use a service like Zinio ( www.zinio.com ). I'd probably subscribe to this through a service like that due to the fact that I don't need the actual paper copy, plus it would probably save you guys a ton of money on printing and everything...

Might be something to look into?

[Blue Bomber]

You guys will need to become a site sponsor in order to advertise here. PM larryd, the site owner, for more info.

And yeah, digital distribution would be great! :)

[greenstreak]

I loved my subscription to MR2s Only and I think I'd really enjoy this mag as much if not more. I'll have to pick up a subscription asap.

[crystalalien87]

[crystalalien87]

[breakablecookie]

I might be interested in this!

TPM Sad News...

It's with much sadness and regret that we announce that we're unable to continue with further issues of Toyota Performance Magazine.

We've given it serious consideration but there are two important factors that have attributed, firstly despite the initial enthusiasm for the magazine across the clubs we're associated with, the take up of readership has no where near met the level we need to sustain future publishing. As much as we publish TPM for the enjoyment factor and not for great monetary gain, we're simply not covering our print and distribution costs and can't take the gamble to print a 2nd issue.

One of our key staff also has health issues which again makes it difficult for us to continue in our current format. We sincerely thank all of you who have supported us with your enthusiasm, readership, advertising, articles and contribution of ideas, it's been a great ride, but sadly, it's the end of the road :0(

Please forward any enquiries to info@toyotaperformancemagazine.com

Copies of TPM are still available now at a marked down price of

That mag needs to convert to a website.

[Joey03_VVT-I]

:hide:-Scam?

[hombredelassrta]

guess thats why he never hit me back up with which pics they wanted to use

[crystalalien87]

yea i made a thread concerning my book situation and they deleted it so im etting my money back

[hulkster]

not a surprise.

[GSBoek]

Alas! It was shortlived.

[jordan71]

DAMN SUCKS!!! i got mine and loved it!!! :(

[farhanali89]

same i got mine delivered in the uk was good but didnt last its a shame!

[crystalalien87]

well i guess they sent another one but it will arrive 5-7 days... so this saturday i will see if i get it....but aside that they stop making issues i have been debating about making my own ting. it would be strictly celicas and it would be just a 11x17 with the front having the cover story of the celica and the back with pics, specs and a small story about the vehicle. you think this would be a good idea?

[RTZCeli]

too bad

[Joey03_VVT-I]

:( *Sad Face*

Could work but I think it would be treated more like a flyer if it's only that one sheet. Gotta start somewhere I suppose.

[crystalalien87]

ok well i guess they where not a scam. i actually got both books in today?:AF: one took 6 weeks to get and the other 7 shince they shipped it airmail. i feel kinda bad but it should have taken 6 weeks to get a book maybe ill pay half for the other?
