Nice one Greg. Hopefully it'll be in the news stores in Amsterdam this weekend.

Holy crap. Now I can't wait for the July issue to come out. Will it have any F1 LM content?

Fabulous details about the F1 - Front cover : -

I've just started looking at this months Evo and for an F1 enthusiast its just amazing - 42 fabulous pages of Mclaren F1 Pictures and editorial!!

Hey - look who is standing in front of #050. :grinyes:

microsup - you're my hero! :thumbsup:

awesome! I'm a subscriber so I wont miss it:)

Fan-bloody-tastic! :cheers: microsup

will this issue be worth more money in a few years time? maybe invest in extra issues then, lol:)

I really hope that shot of #01R becomes a wallpaper on EVO's website - it's beautiful! Same with the shot of #068 coming down the straight at Watkins Glen. Maybe we will get lucky and they'll have expanded content on their website too.

Favorite quote so far after reading most of the pages:

"For me you shouldn't buy an F1 if you are not going to use it properly. This 1997 car had only done just over 2000 miles when I got it - a miserable total over 13 years. They were designed to be driven and not to be owned purely for speculation." - Dan Watkins :thumbsup:

Most disappointing inaccuracy in the text so far - in the section on the Workshop where the years for the F1 GTR variants are identified as '94, '95 & '96. :uhoh: They do get it right later on when captioning a small photo on page 97 in the section on #01R.

Speaking of that section - the story relayed by Graham Humphrys about troubles with #01R in the lead up to Le Mans is one I have never seen told. What a great piece of history - making their triumph all the more impressive!

Amazing!! Thanks for that microsup! EVO it takes a few months for the magazine to get down here in NZ.
The EVO boys really have had some brilliant articles over the years.

I've found a bit more time to do a few more scans - I think that's now everything: -

Can I just say I really enjoy some of the things you do in your spare time. :grinyes:

Thank you once again for sharing - just makes me want to buy the magazine even more. I'll have ants in my pants for the next few weeks while those of us in the USA wait for them to finally appear on the newsstand.

microsup :worshippy

Thankyou so much, for going to all that effort to show us the F1 content from this most excellent issue of EVO.

looks like this issue will be a sell out for them, top marks must go to everbody involved in putting these articles together :thumbsup:

Its like a mini Driving Ambition Vol2 :wink:. Now there,s a thought, its about time for an extension to the first edition.

Thanks for the headsup hurst, and champion effort by microsup for the scans.

EVO is my favourite car mag, (so much better then the local mags and TG, Car etc in my opinion), but this is the icing on the cake-When I first saw the thread title I thought maybe there's a small writeup like they did on the converted GTR that was for sale a while back but this-this is just brilliant. Looking forward to sitting down somewhere nice and quiet with a few cold ones to soak this up.

I wonder why they left Flemkes blue F1 out of the main pics its not as if it has not been in Evo before

Dear hurstg01 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=101397),

Big thanks for posting this up and appreciate the effort!

July Issue? You mean year 2010 issue? as it is only May now. And so this is the #145 issue?

Sorry bout the noob question as I've just registered here. Big fans of McLaren F1 and this forum is a great site for McLaren F1 related infos.

Would definately get one of this issue when it has landed here.

Thank you!

:wave: Yes, issue #145 :)

So that would make it the next issue inbound (if its not out already). EVO's website has 144 as its latest (with the road racer cover featuring amongst other things the 430 Scuderia).

Russ, it seems it was a misunderstanding at Art Editor level at EVO HQ -

Hello all,
First, apologies to Flemke for the fact that his car was not included in the line-up of twenty cars.
Here's what happened from our point of view.
Far from not wanting to include Flemke's F1, the very opposite was true. We'd asked him if we could run a major feature on his car in this issue, detailing all the work he's had done. After giving it some thought, he eventually declined. Which was absolutely fair enough.
The message then reached our art desk that Flemke didn't want his car featured in the issue. The art editors, acting in good faith, took this at face value and excluded the specific shot that had been taken of the front of Flemke's car.
It was a simple misunderstanding, and if it has caused Flemke or anyone else to think worse of us, then we regret that deeply. We are massively appreciative of the help he has given us in previous issues and we sincerely hope that he will consider working with us again in the future.
Once again, apologies for any offence caused. It most certainly wasn't intended.

they featured 040 before; why doesnt Flemke want it again?

It seems the idea that flemke didn't want a multi-page "feature" was conflated with the idea that he didn't want his car featured at all, or to have any distinct appearance, in the magazine.

I think this can happen with anyone, but the confusing blend of self-deprecation and pride, of understanding and biting criticism that flemke has may have added to the magazine getting their footwork tangled.

I think Patrick's question is centered more around why flemke said no to the new feature.

There's some discussion of that on PistonHeads as well from him, but rather than any one of us trying to paraphrase his comments, I'd suggest anyone who is interested in finding the answer begin reading his posts on this page (http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=375461&mid=34901&i=4020) of the current 'Flemke - is this your McLaren?' thread over there.

In the Gordon Murray article on page 092 (ones that got away) it mentions about a car that I've had never heard about before - the 1996 McLaren PGTB that had was a 2+2 mid-engined one off special built for the Sultan of Brunei and was powered by the McLaren F1's V12 - does anybody have any further information or pictures of this car?

It was certainly news to me.

I've never seen basman007 make any mention of it and he's the Brunei expert, so I am going to say that nothing else exists in the public domain.

Hello,

first, many thanks to microsup ! I am sure we all buy this issue.

So much content ! Amazing, it looks like an off serie issue.

Do you know publish day ?

I forgot about this article on EVO website :

The EVO I have in my hands has a different cover - XP1LM, XPGT and #01R; If It's not on here when I get in from work tonight I'll scan it in :)

Sounds awesome! Maybe they do different covers for subscribers versus newsstand copies?

Car&Driver used to do that here when I was a subscriber and I always found myself wanting the copy with the alternate cover so I stopped subscribing and just paid the newsstand price.

ER

Another photo of the XPGT? YES PLEASE!!! :D

yes there is a difference between retail issues and subscriber issues in the cover

Great cover, I'm a non subscriber so I'm quite happy with the normal cover (although I do think it would look better without the dashboard down the bottom).

I could do with out all the text of course, but think the whole image is kind of cool.

Don't just see it as a dashboard - picture it as if you're seated in XP5, looking out the windsheild at XP1 LM, 56XPGT and GTR 01R.

I think it's a pretty neat way to compose a shot myself. :)

Thats a good way of looking at it-makes more sense now. Probably the closest most of us will come to sitting in XP5 :tongue:.

When I discover a little thing call free time, I'll do my best to clean that one up and share the result. :)

It's time to go some shopping, when I have time.
Hopelly this magazine is still on sale here at Finland.
Everything is possible here...magazines are much later on sale than there at UK.

Has this gone out of sale yet? It's July's issue, now we are doing still on May....:eek7:

EVO is always looking in the future, lol

The subscriber covers always have just a photo without text

EVO Magazine have a pretty cool contest running right now. It would be great if someone from this crowd were able to win it. :naughty:

ER

I was hoping this was going to be kept quiet on here so I had more chance of winning :evillol:

OH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!:runaround:

Sounds like "De ja vu"

Last time EVO run a competition like this, the winner had a few laps around Silverstone in #08R the West Adrenaline car. I posted the article some time back (photo,s I think). If I have some free time soon, I,ll run it through the scanner this time.

If I am the lucky winner :tongue: I,ll pass the ride and MTC tour onto Great Ormond Street Childrens hospital, now that would really make, a terminally ill child very happy :smile:. Especially if Lewis or Jenson was behind the wheel.

I never did meet up with Mr B, for a ride out in #16R. But if he gets an HDF I,m sure he will still have a seat open for me :uhoh:.

Hmm,

"if he gets an HDF" ??? I cannot believe that :)

Phil

Yup, he has stated he may get another F1 this time with the HDF kit :)

Hello Greg,

I wish he can get his hands on another F1 ! 3 Mac is a good point :)

Martin, GOSH is the reason i'm alive (another story, another day). Thank you so much for being so thoughtful



I picked up my 2 issues today :)

Can't wait to read it tonight :D :D

Such a STUNNING issue of EVO with all the F1's. Just got a copy yesterday and it's really fantastic to see all the interest in the most amazing supercar ever. I read up on Gordon Murray's new T25 and they hope to create 6000 new jobs and should have four prototypes completed by next year. It's nice to see Mr. Murray continuing his leadership, even though it's a totally different kind of car, but what was truly hilarious is the T25's central seating position. I guess you can't get the F1 out of the master can you? LOL!

Hi Chris,

Thankyou so kindly for your compliment, as you know me rather well, you would agree that those kind of gestures fit well within my character. I just need to win the competition first and if I was ever lucky enough to own an F1, there would be alot of smiling faces about, thats for sure :).

I too got 2 copies but will leave the comoetition open to Le man

I too got 2 copies but will leave the comoetition open to Le man

Thankyou for your gesture, but please, by all means do enter the competition, with a bit of luck, one of us here on the forum may win :).

Just like to add in this thread, that it was really great to see that Lewis and Jenson both took some time out last week, to pop into GOSH and spend some quality time with the children, who are poorly at this moment in time.

Top guys :bigthumb:

I was just suggesting you could have come to that conclusion back when the scans were hosted, but I guess you didn't give it much attention until you had the magazine in hand. I definitely assumed you were correct with those comments in the earlier discussion. :)

Issue 146 has been out for a couple of weeks now. In it are some letters in regards to the "F1" issue including a reader's snapshot of a dark coloured F1 wearing UK trade plate "049 PF". Looks like it may be XP5 taken early last fall as that's roughly the same time XP5 was spotted wearing the same plate.

Still not out here in NZ (at least that I can find). Still seeing Junes edition :(
