    Finally official - I got my final issue of AUTOWEEK

    A lot of print on paper magazines have been closing down lately.
    AUTOWEEK joins them. And long ago, they were a newspaper,
    and a lot of them quit also.
    I guess you can still read their stuff at
    - autoweek.com

    I fondly recall the golden years. It came in newspaper
    form every week, give a good coverage of races only about
    one week delayed, while the magazines were always a
    couple months late. I still have my issues from 1962 and on.

    Sounds rather like “Motoring News” in the Uk, which was a weekly in newspaper format. We were lucky in also having “Autosport”, which was a more expensive glossy.

    I was forced to ditch all my magazines and memorabilia when we went to live
    on a boat.
