Exactly and it's all down to Max Power. Car mags used to be technical to a fair degree and along comes Max with it's topless women and major ice content and a new look. Other mags obviously lost readers to it, so they changed their look to be more Max and out went the decent technical articles. I can't remember the last time I saw the term flow bench in Fast Car. Bring back David Vizard

(I binned 6 years of Audio Video mags a month back, but still have Fast Car going back to the late 80s and some other car mags. )

I bought the first Max Poo to see what it was like

FAST CAR used to be a TOP magazine with the likes of David Vizard and Dave Walker doing the tech stuff

Then Fast Car went the same way as Max Poo and turned into a WANK mag for ugly spotty 17 year olds who could not get laid if they paid

Since CCC have folded I have not bothered with any car mag apart from the odd copy of Fast Fraud which is soo full of technical cock ups it is almost like proof reading.

You can imagine the questions you'll get if you do put it on Flea-Bay...



Q: 'Do you play the pink oboe ?'

Q: 'Pink or Brown ?'
