**Aysedasi** · 5 Apr 2018, 20:33 (Ref:3813074)

Knowing Sam and his timetable on this one John, almost certainly not.......

**Aysedasi** · 22 Apr 2018, 21:11 (Ref:3816936)

Amazon keep updating me with the great efforts they are making to ascertain a delivery date.......

Personally I think I should sue the author....

**Aysedasi** · 18 May 2018, 20:47 (Ref:3823308)

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.

**Aysedasi** · 2 Jun 2018, 13:28 (Ref:3826206)

From Amazon.....

Sam Collins "Autodrome 2: The lost race circuits of the world"

I still prefer to believe in the inexcusable indolence theory.......

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.

**Aysedasi** · 21 Jun 2018, 20:48 (Ref:3832412)

I'll place another order for Autodrome 2 in about 15 years.......

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

**Aysedasi** · 13 Mar 2019, 18:17 (Ref:3890173)

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.......

"with Sam anything is possible......."

Indeed.

**Aysedasi** · 9 Oct 2019, 19:42 (Ref:3932976)

But is it Sam?

We didn't see you at the LM meet this year Sam? Elsewhere?

Hope to return in future with Radio Show or similar.

"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 ...

dwh43scale · 2 Nov 2020, 13:33 (Ref:4014542)

Followed by - "Unlikely as finishing it is not going to be possible with the current travel restrictions. But I am working on another lockdown read..." ...

**Aysedasi** · 2 Nov 2020, 17:33 (Ref:4014576)

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

No, that's due out in 2051.

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.

**Aysedasi** · 17 Dec 2020, 13:24 (Ref:4023425)

Great to hear from you Sam, you make sure you pop back in a few years with some more news!

**Aysedasi** · 27 Oct 2022, 08:19 (Ref:4131605)

2051 is edging that little bit closer........
