 What happened to Speed magazine?

It's the 20th and there still isn't an issue out this month, anyone know what's going on? It is monthly, isn't it?
I buy it every now and again and have been looking forward to the next issue. Sure they stuff a few facts up but it's a semi-intelligent magazine... unlike drivel like FastFours or Hot4s

I don't read much of Fast/Hot-4's - but . . . .
I found SPEED to be really lightweight for details, information and anything generally useful. Whether it be comparisons, tech articles, feature cars or whatever, I never saw anything much more than a brief skim over the details, most things mentioned then promptly forgotten. I found this REALLY annoying whenever there were interesting cars with unusual/clever methods/solutions involved... . . You'd get a rough idea what had happened but no background on why or how.
Reading through a full-page tech article often yielded only one or two tidbits I didn't already know, and left Me no wiser as to how one might do whatever the article was on. Grrrrr....
I believe the "pink" issue with the Drifter S15 is the last one.

We had an article done about one of our cruises (Skylines Australia VIC) and when I was talking to one of the staff there, they said it would be in the last issue. So yeah, out of production.

See , this is what happens when you give wrong info about the Gt4 ! toyota owners get grumpy , prove them wrong , thrice , then its all over
nice to see my ( and beej's ) " hey ? facts on Gt4's " letter got in the last edition ..
maybe i should buy it for a memento .
Tis a bit of a shame though - they did feature toyotas more often than mst rags , including a few of the cars off this very forum ( ie justens GT8 )

It sounds worse than it is, the feature cars are usually tastefully modified, its not a bad read, well the couple of issues i have anyway. One of my friends actually put me onto it, they feature ae86's sometimes and i think the editor owns one? or am i thinking of a different mag?
