Good Redline this month fella, nice write-up on the donutting record but how come the articles are never credited? Would be nice to know who's writing what! One gripe though...have recently fitted my chrome/neon lighter and now the suns out it blinds me everytime the sun hits it so I'm sueing your asses!!



nah but seriously there seems to have been another change of focus this month...why does the rover25 with standard engine (would say what size engine but it's not even mentioned!) and a bunch of mods, which make a rubbish standard motor even uglier, get a full two pages when a guy who's home-fitted a g60 engine with stg4 supercharger into a nice looking polo get 1/3 page right at the back? There are always some decent motors in there but its getting harder to find them.

You have letters from a guy with a 350bhp cossie asking how to improve the handling printed right next to some idiot with a 1.0 corsa on 17in alloys and a "big install" asking why they're rubbing his arches!! These things are making the magazine harder and harder to read, are Redline gonna keep trying to please the entire market and skim the surface with all modding? You seem to be trying to please everybody, please please tell Tristan and his rubbish Corsa to sod off and read Max Power!

Cheers!

And thats why I stopped reading Redline... No offence to Renton, who has been very successful in what he does on various mags, but when Andy Ford stopped editing Redline and a few of the "original" staffers left, I stopped reading it as much. I just found it quickly began to take the typical Fast Car approach of car magazines, and I didn't want that from a mag.

Thankfully I found Performance Ford at about that time

Although I do prefer the Performance Ford approach to it's cars/features I still buy redline (not as regularly as I used to!) because I'm interested in other cars/ways of doing things and it does have some awesome motors!
