Question Anyone to subscribe to any International car mags?

With the gap between Wheels and Motor too long for my liking, and the fact lying in bed reading the internet just isnt the same as car mag, I am looking at subscribing to some international car magazine titles.

On the USA side, Automobile mag and Motor Trend are very cheap and not too expensive ($25)

On the UK, it looks like everything is going to be very expensive when you convert pound to AUD. Would love Autoexpress but its 150 pound (though it is weekly). Are there any cheap UK titles?

What are people's experiencing with being an international subscriber? Do you receieve every issue? Was it on time? Any bargains to be had

Any help and tips would be great!

I buy Car magazine from the UK every now and again (usually in airports - $18 an issue!) ... Not sure what it costs to subscribe, but whatever it is, it's worth it - journalism (yes, JOURNALISM, in a CAR magazine!) is fantastic, photography is fantastic, in depth news and reviews, a feature of a classic car every month... Love it.

even though it heads through Germany before i get it, yes, it still arrives here before it hits the shelves in the U.S.
they are online too if you want a look.
