Had a quick look through max power this morning whilst in the paper shop for the first time in years...wtf's happened to it??? its just rammed with adverts and pointless features on stupid things from japan! a grand total of 5 feature cars! this mag is deffinantly going the same way as revs did...down the pan! bout time i say!!! oh well nevermind...no big loss! lol

To be fair, it's alot better then what it used to be like. Still wouldn't buy it as it just doesn't interest me enough.

Redline managed to change it around though and that is a good mag now.

It's worth a read now IMO

the writing is still pretty shocking and there are so many errors in the text, but it's readable now, they have some half-decent stuff in there

It's true about the adverts though, WAY too many

Maxpower whent down the pan years ago imo

jamescosworth

anyone know what happened to the project cars?

antony215

One of them was on ebay a few months back (the green escort rs they did)

I always have a look through it as we get it in the office.

The mag is totally bizzare these days.
Totally different every month, tries to be serious and grown up but smacks of not knowing what they on about.
So random its crazy, from interviews is Wyclef Jean to features on cars on hydraulics, monster trucks, old skool hotrods, and then your usual modded car, inc some bloody nice (IMO) ones. Trouble is you dont learn anything about any of them.

I give them 6months till something happens. Either big changes again or gone totally.

I buy, every month, without fail:

Fast Ford
Performance Ford
Retro Ford
Classic Ford
Performance BMW
Total BMW
BMW Car

There's a long list of car magazines I regularly buy as well, but those are the only ones I never, ever miss

I have every copy of Fast Ford from January 1992, and a fair few from before too

Benni

Out of the three you learn alot more in FastFord. And altough Redline is alot better now I still don't think I would buy it.

Max Power went shite after issue 2 IMO... it's all adverts, birds with their gammy tits out, charvas and dickheads with crap cars. Mindless dross.

brizie

Yip gota agree max power went down the pan a long long time ago!!

Bring back the oldschool revs,now that was a good mag

PT

@ COS 22

fuzzy

youve got to pay for quality.
ive not seen a max power for years as when youve seen one neoned up rice mobile youve seen them all although i had heard that there had been big changes recently and it was meant to be much better.

Benni

He told someone on here that 'BHP Sells cars, torque wins races' was a load of bollox and then it ended up inside there mag as a question from someone. I think there questions are made up.

Stavros

I got some goon named Benni asking what car to get on his motability next month mate

Seriously tho, most are real but if I see certain interesting questions elsewhere, I add them too.

Benni

AFPMSL! Tell him to go for an electrical powered wheel chair. Once it's been remapped and the sport button added it will lap the nurburgring in under 9 minutes.
