Amazon keep updating me with the great efforts they are making to ascertain a delivery date.......
Personally I think I should sue the author.... |

Still waiting..... And no updates either. I shall inform them soon that I'm not cancelling my order, but when they cancel it, I will be expecting interest to be returned along with my payment.

From Amazon.....
Hello, We regret to report that the release of the following item has been cancelled: Sam Collins "Autodrome 2: The lost race circuits of the world" Our supplier has informed us that this item is no longer available. Bloody authors. Totally unreliable........ |

I pre-ordered a box set of the Voyager space probe record. It was meant to be coming on a Friday and for weeks on a Thursday I kept getting a notification it had been delayed a week. It did eventually arrive. It caught me by surprise as I’d grown accustomed to it being delayed.

The wait continues. It's as bad as Brexit.

Unless Sam wants to suggest otherwise, I'd say if it was going to be published, we'd have seen it long before now.....

Sam is now a Lib-Dem politician, elected to his local council. Perhaps that is where his focus now lies, though with Sam anything is possible.......

But is it Sam?
We didn't see you at the LM meet this year Sam? Elsewhere? |

"Seems there is a lot of interest in abandoned circuits. I should probably get on with finishing the third book in the series." Sam's Twitter today ...

Considering this thread was started over 10 years ago now, I think Sam must be writing a fairy story........

Hey 2051 is unfair... though its fair to say the book is a bit um, delayed. Can't blame the pandemic either!
What I can tell you is the plan I have in terms of that series of books and they will probably come out in this order. 1- Autodrome: The Lost Circuits of Europe - rewritten and updated 2 - Autodrome: The Lost race tracks of the world. (Aka A2) 3 - Speedway 2: (may not happen) 4 - Autodrome Anthology. However - I do have three other books on the go so the Autodrome series is waiting for at least one of them to be finished. When? I'm not sure on dates, but likely you'll hear nothing then it will all happen fast. Just the way I'm working at the moment. The Pandemic is a factor as travel is a key part of putting the books together and right now obviously that is impossible. |
