I had a R5 GT turbo at the time and really dug the buying guide for it in issue 1. Subscribed to it til about 1996, until pretty much, when the main crew split up and the format went all stupid, with UK 'glamour' girls and ****e articles. Fast Car went down the same road.

Can anyone remember M.P. was a (youngish - c.25yo) Vikki Butler-Henderson's first journalistic gig.

 

Razzle!

 

My STi V was in Redline - they did a Rolling Road shootout up at Powerstation.

 

Ive got a load of those Max Power mags sitting in loft.
Most of them are still in their wrappers they were posted in.

Also still got the very first one unopened with the hat & keyring.
With the stupid steering wheel shaped bag it came in.

 

Pink or brown?

 

month and year?.. I may have it.

 

Yep, I used to feature some good cars with serious performance & not a **** body-kit in sight. They brought in the **** in order to expand readership with the advent of the "lads mag". Revs did the same & then decided not t have ****. Car mags = cars, jubblies = club international



Erm, yep. See my response to Hysteria

 

2 things stopped me buying Max Power. 1 was the girls with hardly anything on on the front cover - if I want to feel embarresed buying a magazine I'll pull down a copy of Fiesta. And 2, I had to stop reading because the language used (wicked, phat etc etc) was making my eyes bleed.

Fast Car went first, Max Power afterwards. Revs was decent for a while then it went the same way too. Have EVO now and again but haven't bought any of the others since the late 90s.

 

I stopped buying max power when it went from featuring 500bhp escort cosworths on the front cover and started putting 1.2 Fiat Seicentos with £3k of halfords tat stuck on instead.

 

I didn't read it!

I RUINED IT!!!

 

Yes, but you are a grubby monkeh

 

You certainly "runied" that spelling.

 

And the really sad thing is: I checked that post twice because I wanted to nail the joke and I still missed it!!!

FIAL

 

You daft tawt.

 

Sometimes though, you don't want class. You want slutty homebrew

Hey!

SalsaKing

I'll take them, the cars from that magazine were epic! What other issues do you have?

Thanks!

 

Slipstream_UK,

I am really interested those Max Power(s) if you still have them! I am also interested in any kind of other tuner magazine you might have such as Fast Car, Fast & Modified as well as Revs.

 

evo 1-100 for sale here.

 

It's been more than 6 years.....

 

I've got loads of them as well, fast car, max power, red line and a **** load of bike mags too, trail/dirt and road bikes.

 

Holy Thread Revival !!

 

Hey DitchMyster,

You still have your Max Power and Fast Car issues?

Thanks!

 

don`t forget Revs, the lax bowels spin off, got them all, from the purple throbbing dimma 205 on wards, still have the free cap they gave with issue one of Max lol

 

Hey JTaylor,

I really appreciate your reply but I am only interested in the tuner mags, as I could not get them in USA. Only one place in a city of 545,000+ miles of roads sold Max Power and Fast Car. Didn't even know about Revs or Fast & Modified until just a few days ago. Thank you again!

I miss magazines like these, were all the rage when I first started to modify my cars! Still actually have the very first issue of Max Power somewhere!

Used to go to Max Power live and everything, good times!

 

Yes got a good few of each not sure exactly how many as they're up in the loft, can have a look through them next week and let you know, if you're genuinely interested in buying them.

Oh and how much do you pay.

 

£2.60 up to around a fiver... I've got a small fortune on my hands Mrs was threatening to throw them out not long back, managed to stave her off by saying the boy could read them and learn about cars and bikes when he's a bit older.

 

Wasn't Katie Price in one of the first Rev magazines?

Before Jordan and ever expanding ****.

 

Hey DitchMyster,

Thank you for the response! If 2.50 pounds per issue is what you were thinking then there is no way I can do that. And I am still waiting to hear back from SlipStream_UK. How much were you thinking?

Thank you!
