Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine
...........Anyone seen it?? I just took a look at it for the first time. Its a UK publication, seems to have some nice articles. It's sure to be a good read. However, the $9.00 Barnes and Noble price tag scared me off. Anyone know of a better place to get it???

Never found a cheap place to get it.
I have purchased 2 or 3 copies, and only found them at a Barnes and Noble bookstores in San Francisco and Cost Mesa. Most Barnes and Noble don't carry the magazine. They have a website and it might be cheaper to subscribe.

This is my second year subscription to it. Love the magazine. Plenty of information about MB and all its history. Including its involvement in building figters (ME109) in the WWII, and how that technology becomes today's supercharger in their cars.

Great magazine, but expensive. I loved the article on diesels, a while back, that featured local people from the DC area, including at least one Forum Member.

I've bought every issue. I think on balance it is very good. Neither the photography nor the writing is top-drawer (and nor would I expect it to be given that it is not a mass-circulation publication), but the content is first class. I certainly don't resent the cover price (of course I pay the UK price which equates to about $5.50).

So my subscription is up and it's time for renewal. Good grief, with the current exchange rate it will cost 96 bucks for the year. I know the question has been asked before but can anyone beat 53 pounds per year for the sub?
Thanks.

For better photography and a focus on older models, try Classic Mercedes, usually on the rack at Borders.

By the way, the Forum member that's featured in the deisel issue is our own late Jim Beek. I still have the last email he sent me a few months before he passed.

Top-drawer?

My only complaint, aside from the high US price, is their heavy emphasis on the newer models, esp. the high-end and AMG ones which I'll never even see, let alone be able to afford. I'd like a little more focus on the older cars.

I've been a subscriber for over 2 years now. I'll read anything that has to do with MB.
Thats more than I can say for Prestige Mag. Most us received 1 or 2 issues and then they dissapeared
