I did post this on the end of another J Tuner Thread but without response

But yes this magazine is to produce 2 more editions then close

There is a petition http://www.petitiononline.com/jtuner/petition.html

But I guess what they want is commitment to subscriptions

Be a shame to lose a 2nd Magazine this year

3 Cross stich mags? Surely all their readers will be dead within the 15yrs, LOL

I signed this earlier It's the best of the bunch in my opinion.

I didn't get that comment either until I looked at the petition.

Petition signed. One of the few mags I buy now.

I'm guessing that they're knitting mags or something like it. The average age for those interested in such a subject will be in the more senior age bracket and will reach their final resting places in the not too distant future.

Oh its clear now

I agree with the sentiments & would be disapointed to see the magazine closed - I've bought it since issue 1 - but I doubt any petition, however well intended, will have any influence on the outcome. Future Publishing would have carried out sufficient review of the monthly sales figures & most likely found them lower than required to continue with the publication.

The only "petition" worth "signing" is the one by which you actually buy the magazine - if they see an upturn in sales then they might reconsider......

Complete u-turn, but phil, did anything come of the DriveSmart/jammer tests??

Phil

Nope they said they would find a venue

Im still waiting on the NBO feature that they promised to do for us as we give them exclusive coverage

GazTheHat

Shame, it promised a lot, but seemed to be hot air. Picked up 3 more last month, so wont to sort this out.

too much stuff on the net nowdays, why pay the best part of £4 when you can come onto forums and online sites that have the same information?

It is a shame becuase its the only mag out of the three that independantly tested different owners club cars and their privately funded cars every single month. We read all about tuners and really high spec cars, drag 1/4 miles times, their quoted bhp figures etc, but nothing beats seeing different levels of a tuned model thrash it out each month, on an airfield doing 0-100's thats comparable to new cars tested in mainsteam magazines.

It was the best out of all three, and maybe it was down to promotion and distribution that was its fall in the end. Jap Performance Mag comes a close second, but Banzai is a complete waste of a read, poorly written, and it concerntrates too much on cars abroad, instead of the jap scene in this country.

Yes sorry to confim that my report from NBO won't be featured (shame I got some nice shots from up the crane - despite the crap weather!) - there will not be any more issues of JT. Had my offical letter from the editor and publisher yesterday.

Thanks for letting us know badger a shame with all the work you put into it on the date


could you let me have a copy and we can maybe produce a the report for our club members



the NBO 5 is allready booked for next year

speye91

I will make sure that all the companys links are removed from the nbo website I personally have been waiting for the feature,as has many of the NBO attendes(sp).Most mags usually put events in there mag,maybe a month after the event,why was there such a delay in articles?

Sorry for the rant,but maybe you can put this to the Editor/founder for me.

Freelance Badger

It's a bit late now - the editor has left the building......and you certainly aren't the only one who had a feature that were done and never published.

GrahamG

I just cancelled my subscription. Will go back to Jap Performance mag.

We at the SIDC are happy to consider publishing any articles that were missed by J Tuner / Scoobymag
