Like some of the guys said on there, I'd buy it if I could ever find in. Jap Performance and Banzai, I can get in my local Esso garage, but I don't think I've seen it for sale outside of the bigger WHSmith shops. They're still advertising a special offer of 3 issues for a fiver on the Japfest website though. :suspect:

My local Tesco stocks JTuner magazine.

My local Tesco stocks JTuner magazine.

As does mine, I buy it every month. This is a real shame. I would echo the comments of the GTR forum and email [email protected] with your comments on this!

In my opinion JTuner is the best jap magazine out there, as it seems to interact with the car clubs etc!

Edit: In reading that thread again it seems it's already off the shelves, which explains why I couldn't find it in Tesco the other day for the first time ever!

Thanks for your email about JTuner.

We have published JTuner for 18 months and as a result of the high quality of the magazine it has built a loyal readership. Unfortunately this readership hasn't been as large as we expected when we launched the magazine. This has made it difficult for us to put the magazine on the financial footing we hoped for.

As a result of this we have made the very difficult decision to re-examine the future of the magazine. We are currently discussing this with the team and it would be wrong for me to share those discussions with you. I can assure you that we will endeavour to make the best decision both for the team and the magazine.

Finally, I'd like to thank you for your support of JTuner.

I picked the JAE one up at the services on the M40, and the Tesco Extra in Purley sells it (used to anyway).

I have the copy in the Micra, when I get it back you can have it lol

But yes, their distribution was terrible really

Both Tesco and Smiths usually always have it around these ways.

Here's the online petition if anyone wants to sign, there were only 40 signatures at 1pm today, and now 105, so it's growing quite rapidly:
