Default Wheels November issue, what's the scoop?.

G'day All,

I'm waiting for my November issue which has been delayed because of some sort of scoop!. Anybody know what it is?. I find it pretty bad service that subscribers are the last to find out!.

"Dear Valued Subscriber,

Wheels magazine has secured a genuine world exclusive for the upcoming November issue due on sale on Wednesday 24th October. To ensure this story can run in the November issue, we have had to delay the distribution of subscriber copies. This means your home-delivered copy will not arrive before the on sale date. We anticipate all copies will be delivered no later than Monday 29th of October."

Regards,

Rob

The Nissan GTR was the scoop, hence the front cover was devoted to it.

Thanks Dave,

Very dissapointed if that was the reason.

You would have trouble trying to argue that the GTR isnt a significant car in terms of performance cars.

Well, it's one of the the first magazines in the world, if not the first to feature it.

I think it would be more "Wheels paid for the story from the first freelance journalist to cover the GTR"
