They might be worth something to someone short of bog roll.
Although the paper may be a bit shiney...

The whole adolescent humour, lowest common denominator thing of Max Power just makes me cringe.

I love the surly expression on the face of the lad driving the purple pug.

I think the Porsche had just been bought that day, and it was the drivers first Porsche and his first ever trackday.

I was also there in my Scoob.

I used to buy it to knock one off to the dirty slags in the back of the magazine. I thought they were talking about snooker when they asked pink or brown though.

Cripes, it's like deja vu all over again:
Found Issue 1 of Max Power Magazine

No clues in the other thread on how much the guy got for his, but I'm sure it would fetch a few quid, if you can find the right collector.
