It took several attempts but i finaly found it ! Car looks fantastic mate, congrats on an excellent ZS ! However . . . . can't say the same about this 'online magazine'. Surely it's just a glorified website ? If i want a magazine i'll buy one from a shelf that wont keep crashing or is a nightmare to read ! :)

yeah, this is the problem i found - you might have to keep re-loading. This is the classic case of technology trying to improve on a medium that never needed fixing. A paper magazine is perfect as it is.

Am I losing the plot here?

On Page 68-69 the exhaust appears to exit on the left, but on page 70-71 it exits on the right?

I must be going mental

Easy to flip an image like the in photoshop... Ctrl T, right click > Flip Horizontal.

If you look closer you can see the MG badge is reversed too.

:hmmm: no site stickers and no mention of us, a missed opportunity.

yeah i did notice that but it only seems to be the back end that had been flipped because the fuel filler cap is also on the wrong side

oooooh shoot it was a missed opportunity but if you would like to send me some i will put them on my car and the people who do the mag do know about the zs forum and even the zr forum so they might be in touch with the site owner or somebody

spoke to the management of the magazine today and had a bit of a laugh about it aswell but it was done like that for a reason and the reason that when the pic was taken it was taken on the left side of the car and they needed it the other way round and so they could fit on the page

if there are any comments/problems with the magazine that have asked if you could email with the problems so they can get them sorted

but bear in mind it is there first mag and they are having teething problems but who doesn't have teething problems i even bet that this site had teething problems when it first started

the email address that you can contact them is
