@ IMCDb members from the UK - August 2019 Commercial Motor's bumper summer special wanted!

Hey guys - especially the ones living in the UK,

I'm looking for someone who is willing to help me by buying a magazine and sending it to Germany.

It's the current Commercial Motor's bumper summer special (release date August :sol: and I suspect you can get it pretty much everywhere in the UK. It may be available in Germany too, but only in airports or major train stations (= approx. 100 km for me, one-way - countryside, you know... :chut: ).

It looks like this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBb59paXkAEMZK8.jpg

Maybe you happen to own an already read copy and want to get rid of it - fine by me, I'll still buy it for £ 3,20 + shipping, as long as the 6-page Whitby Morrison feature is still intact (that's actually all I'm interested in). Payment can be made quickly via PayPal.

Please send me a PM in case you can help.

Thanks in advance for any help or hints and have a beautiful day (regardless if you can help or not). :smile:

I don't read Commercial Motor, so don't have a spare copy or know much about it. Scrambling around with some googling suggests it's a weekly published every Thursday, and the one you want was dated 8 August - https://www.commercialmotor.com/news/product/get-scoop-world’s-leading-ice-cream-van-manufacturer - so it's been and gone once (15 Aug issue) and about to be twice (22 Aug). So unlikely to still be around on shop shelves - I'll look and if I find a copy, it's yours, but not optimistic. And it's a 9-page article (see final comment below).

I don't know if Sunbar or JCB are forum browsers and therefore whether they'd see this, but they're possibly the most likely imcdbists to be CM readers - you could try flagging them on the main site.

Or try contacting CM direct - there's a customer query page - https://myaccount.dvvsubs.com/rtmsubs/myaccount/needhelp.aspx - they can presumably send you a hard copy or maybe a pdf (perhaps they'd just send you the 9-pages as a freebie if you ask very nicely??).

Or try Whitby Morrison in case they were sent a batch of off-prints as a promo - https://www.whitbymorrison.com/category/news/ . The article's on their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/WhitbyMorrison/posts/10157886762405832?__tn__=-R - if you can access it and download successfully. I can do it as a set of 5 fairly hi-res jpeg images (about 2MB total) so can email them to you as attachments if any problems .....

Just had a lightbulb moment and posted the 5 jpegs into a dropbox folder

... so you should be able to go straight to them. And anyone else who's interested.

Wow! Thank you so much for the most complete and informative reply incl. extra miles, dsl!!! You treated my request exactly by the same quality standards like I would have done it - very much appreciated! :smile:

I guessed a "summer special" issue might be available for a couple of weeks and and hadn't checked Whitby's Facebook page in a while, mainly because I wasn't expecting the feature to appear there any time soon (plus: I'm old-fashioned enough to still think "magazine = paper" in the first place). I learned about this feature from a member of the Whitby family, though (on social media, we're not in touch so far).

Anyway, mission complete now, incl. 3 more pages and lots of additional info not mentioned in the book. Similar requests are, of course, welcome the other way round.
