That has got to be the biggest let down ever - whats the point of taking all those pics from the roof when none got used? And as for the editorial....The comment on the picture on p143 is just in very bad taste...

Thumbs down

The most annoying thing is that they kept us hanging on for months saying what a big feature it was going to be & they had trouble choosing the pics - then all we get is 3 pages - they probably only had trouble choosing pics because there were not alot of half naked ladies in them

Unfortunately the only reason that these magazines sell so well is because they have half nakid chicks in them. Just the way it's got now ... sex sells. Take away the girls and they would have a quarter of the distribution that they have now! Max Power show is now about having your pic taken with girls, not about cars at all!! If places like Spearmint Rhino are going to these shows then you know it's not about the cars!

We agree on Something Shorty

What a waste of £ 4odd Glad that the Mrs Paid for it

O.k I get a very nice pic of My car slashed acrooss the Centre fold, But this meet was about All of Us We had a great Turn out all the Scoobs looked great & Everyone done as they were asked.

Where are the Pic's from the Dutchouse? The one where they were all around the Wall ? Must of been a cracking shot that, Was on my Poxy little camera

What about Coolhand Tim Arranged all the meet, Was a lot of hassle i know helped Him with some of it,, The poor guy dont even get a ******* Pic of his car anywhere ( Gutted for ya m8)

Rant over now

IMHO .. What a ****e mag full with Minger's!!

Sorry must make the Exemption for Gansta's ex,



Not even a Mention for ole Shorty, Who got Pulled waiting for us Essex Boy's to catch up with Her

Was a great Meet Tho, With a great Turnout...

Well at least there will be no shortage of bottle openers at the BBQs now.

Pass the Hock & the lemonade over.

I was looking forward to seeing us lot in fast car, especially as that was my first event in my scoob, what a load of crap, I think my 5 year old daughter can write a better review, total waste of money, oh well, as a little consellation, there is a pic of me and James standing behind Pele's car, still crap though.

This was so long ago I'd forgotten to stop looking each month!
Sounds like lots of people in here were expecting something in FastCar to be good.
Haven't seen it but I get the feeling it's a bit **** in more ways than one, per what Lee said.
Of course the write up was crap - normal feature articles in those mags are a few EXTREME CLOSEUPS of a neon wheel nut and two paragraphs printed at an angle in text the same colour as 80% of the background saying "Daves blinging Saxo has been lowered 8000feet to improve handling with a bolt on tail pipe thingy to make it look bigger"

Still, it did get more than 4 cars to Dutch House that time round!!

Think I'll stick with the best place for advice, reviews and show info......Scoobynet and SIDC
The membership fees are well worth the money and are cheaper than the magazines

What can one say, HUH?????????

(raises eyes skywards and shakes head in a rather disappointed manner.......

puts pen to paper, then thinks; " No, ****-it, may as well draw a picture of some breasts and colour it with my wax crayons - else FastCar wont really be interested")



one good way to ensure they don't get my cash again
