I find it irritating when I spot spelling and grammar mistakes in a publication I have paid money for (does that make me a snob?). That said, as a newbie to the Ford scene I enjoy seeing different ideas for mods to my car but I must say that although I have only been buying them for a few months I have already noticed repetition (either within the same mag or the same car featured in both mags). That is the death knell for a magazine (IMHO) as regular readers will stop buying. The internet is a much better source of info (and cheaper) but isn't that what Ian Hislop has been speaking about recently (why Private Eye isn't available online because he has journalists and publishers etc to pay and so needs people to buy the mags).
And no, I'm not 17!
