Really being a fast build these past issues. Collect about 8 issues than build the car, so to get done now. My patients is running out!  If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.

Yeah at this current time I am stuck too, and I don't really have a lot of time as well.
I am serious contemplating selling the whole lot currently. I have up to issue 44 currently. Anyone want to buy the lot from me? Current value over R 6200 with binders, I will let it go for R5000 neg. The car is assembled up to issue 36 i think.
Let me know if anyone is interested.

Heard everyone is having issues with subcription, glad I went the CNA route, dont have issues with them, receive my magazine weekly. Why not do a back order by CNA until current issue?

Do not have a CNA here :( It has just been a mission with these guys. If you ask them where your issues are, they just give the book standard reply of 28 days. And if you ask them if you can use your own courier they just stick to their guts. Frankly at this rate I would be lucky finishing this by 2018. Thus looking to get out of it rather for someone that wants extra parts etc.

I received issues 59 - 62 on Friday. Unfortunately I got 2 no.59. Phoned them straight away and now must wait 14 days for no 60. I am sorry to see you are giving up Chris. I know it has been a hassle, but you seem to have all the bad luck. It is only the two of us here in Swellendam doing the build as far as I know. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

I atleast received my last tyre, car looks better now. Dont know why they decided to send the last wheel at issue 72! Some issues can really include more parts!!!

Got my missing issue 60 in the post today as promised  Now I can carry on with the building  With this issue I also received a letter from DeAgostini saying that they will be using couriers from now on So there we have it. This is what a lot of us wanted in the first place. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Many people gave up due to the postage system that is screwed up! If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.

I was thinking of creating a whatsapp group? So we can get to know one another and so on? Anyone think it would work? If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.

Well, my wife came back from the post office today with issues 63-66. I thought that they were going to use couriers  I will contact them and see what gives. I do not use whatsapp and when I sent messages to the Cape Town guys to possibly meet at a Spur down there, no answer. f1fanatic and myself know each other well because we are in the same small town. You can always try. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

My wife receives a post office ticket most of the time. Otherwise the courier deliveries it at the office. Yeah follow up as to why. You guys are behind and it sucks. I tried lol was thinking it would be nice to get to know the guys. My build so far....  If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.
