Interesting points raised here.

I don't think anyone can ignore what Max Power did for the scene. It literally set the path for the way many mags are made today IMO.

I, like many remember vividly my first Max Power, and how it got me into cars/the scene and most importantly journalism. Without one shadow of a doubt I wouldn't be writing for a car magazine now if it hadn't been for Max.

You simply can't possibly tarnish them as a chav mag of the past.

I'll be buying the new one, like others for old times sake.
