Anyone a regular reader of any car mag?

In the past I've had subs on Total BMW, BMW Car and Evo but now have none.

I've subscribed to Autocar for years and love it. Much prefer the proper magazine - it's just not the same on the iPad!

I get occasionally Top Marques, had a subscription o Total Vauxhall du o having a Vxr until recently. Then just bmw or evo mags ad hoc,

But still have a subscription to classic motorcycle mechanics due to having a Yamaha RD 350LC  which will be good once it is sorted.

haha, I used to subscribe to max power. Great for boy racers. More likely to be looking at 'classic car' these days!

Ive got hundred of bmw mags in the loft, plus a load of land rover mags (my other passion)

Yes, I think that's the idea but the project got sidelined whilst changing jobs, then getting rheumatoid arthritis and changing my cars, its mot'd although not taxed, but last year it only did 2 miles between mot's (tis was ridin here and back) and mostly because I gashed my leg down to bone when trying to start the RD, so it put me off it a bit.

However, now having a bit of time and selling my old Vxr, so I now also have a bit of space in garage and some spare money to do it, and having read about 20 classic bike mags in as many days the enthusiasm is back for the project.

So fingers crossed and with a the help of a few mates I think it could be very nice in time for the summer, well at least that's my aim this year.
