Default Redline No More :-(

Redline No More :-(
Bit gutted, my favourite Car Magazine is no more!!!

Only been buying it the last couple of years and have got really into it, have learnt loads and loads in their tech bulletins and break downs, the guys have some serious knowledge when it comes to all things cars, good factual advice on mods which actually do/do not work with no bulls$$t in between!!!

It will be sadly missed in my house, im trying out Banzai this month to see if that will float my boat for an annual subscription!!



A Very Gutted,

Rob

Redline was a great mag . I was lucky enough to get my Hawkeye on the cover last year . We had a great day at an airfield with a WRC S12b . All the guys from the mag were a real good laugh and they had huge amounts of enthusiasm for what they did. I will truly miss it .

Shame that. Redline was a very good mag. Evo is a fantastic mag also but aimed at a totally different market. They only really skim the surface on the modding side of things and it's mainly about new cars. I tried Banzai a couple of times but it doesn't do it for me!

Yeah , that was the one
My lad had a little ride in the rally car, it sounded great even at idle which was at about 2500rpm

Real shame about Redline. It was aimed at the more 'affordable' side of the market.

I think Future publishing had both Redline & Fast Car magazine and I guess one car magazine had to go... the lowest selling one
