Default Anyone know if Nitro! Magazine is still available?

G'day everyone,

I've been looking for info about Nitro! Magazine, as my pride and joy was apparently photographed by them a few months ago when the Coupe was with the previous owner, and I am really interested in obtaining a copy of the Nitro! magazine if they have featured his car in it.

Problem is that their website is no longer active (Google gave me a 404 'not found' on three different sources, even from other linked websites) so I have no idea if they have featured it, will be featuring it, or have no plans to feature it in the future.

I found a Hotfrog page with the dead link and an email address, but haven't yet heard anything from them.... Still trying, and have been scouring the newsstands and haven't seen the mag at all either :(

If any of you subscribe to Nitro! and have seen a green XC Coupe featured, would you mind letting me know? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
MM

PS. Yes, that's her in my avatar

Yes its still available my last mag was delivered a few weeks ago. Check out nostalgia drag racing on the web as they are also involved with that. Try Nostalgia drag racing association and see what you get.

Thanks, capriv8, I'll have a look there, though I think I found another old link there that 404'd on me too.

You don't have a contact phone number for them do you in the front page section?

You know, I was at the Munch Inn tonight, and went into the newsagent, and lo and behold, there was the magazine, and yep, my little green baby was in there on page 76! Talk about feeling stoked! I bought three copies, one which I'll be sending to Mark (the previous owner and builder of my baby) who is now overseas.

Thanks, SLO, if I hadn't found it tonight, I would have been off to FFG like a shot! I used to live at Annerley and shopped there a bit, nice place. Is the pet shop still there? It belonged to a friend of mine....

Thanks everyone

MM

Thanks for that, that's their new address.... I received a lovely email from Chris at Nitro! Magazine yesterday, advising me "we only recently changed our websites to a different server...some search engines are still trying to link to the old server....." so that explains why Google came up a dud on four different weblinks.... anyway, I'm happy now, got my mags!
