Car magazines for free

[Drew]

I read the thread below about tablets and I thought here is a Top Tip.

If you have bought yourself a tablet and are wondering what to do with it how about getting some of your favourite car mags for nowt!

This definately works for County Durham anyone else should try their local authority and I'm sure there will be similar arrangements.

If you are a member of your local library (if not get down there and join) go onto the local authority website and find library services (Co Durham for me) there should be a link to their e-library. By entering your library card number you can download an app that gives you downloadable magazines for free. Co Durham use Rb digital. They currently have Autocar, Autoexpress and BBC Top Gear mags all for nothing.

There are also still lots of older mags like Evo, Octane, F1 and many more. I also get Mountain bike mags, but there are loads. All for nowt.

The car mags alone are equivalent to over £450.00 a year compared with buying them,

You can then spend more on the motor!

Interesting read.

Just had a look at our local libraries in Derbyshire and seems we have a similar set up. I used to have a Top Gear emagazine subscription and it wasnt cheap so dropped it. This will be handy.

I know exactly how you feel.....I've got 6 grandkids and they all seem to visit at the same time.
It's like buck house garden party at ours at times.

At least it's a wipe clean screen......no sticky pages

I signed up for this through Derbyshire Libraries and been using it on my iPad but only looked at the last couple of Top Gears but have noticed loads of options. Will be handy for holidays in the summer when i can load up the iPad for reading.
