Magazines

Hi all.

I just wondered which car magazines you read?

I like PVW but it's really more VW (hence the VW of PVW) than Audi and rarely features any Audi's at all. Same with Golf+ I suppose.

There's Audi Driver which I only read in WHSmith's but it's more about newer cars from the quick look I had.

And from searching around here I notice that theres Total Audi, but it's not available at the moment. Is it any good?

I'd just like a PVW type magazine for Audi's!

Razzle.

silver75 · Mar 23, 2007

Evo every month and CAR magazine most months

Biglockie · Mar 23, 2007

Loads, performace tuner, max power(after its make over), various others that have articles that catch my attention.

Oh and the occasional welders manual!!!!

Smitch: This the Razzle your on about? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razzle_(magazine) Not really what I was after!!

Never read CAR magazine. Isn't Evo new cars or have I got that totally mixed up with another magazine? :think:

Don't like Max Power, Fast Car and all that. I like the more Euro type styling as opposed to the Jap styling in those magazines...

Its the tunning i tend to read them for, the new format is covering a wider range of the modding market, which is about time really, not a read now either. as i said it went really chavvy but its on the way back up now IMO

reza · Mar 23, 2007

Yea, I suppose I haven't even looked at it in the shops for a good few years.

I know VW's are more common to modify, but I like the way that PVW covers them, and even the adverts are all VW-related (obviously!). Just seems a pitty that there isn't (or is there?) this type of magazine for Audi's...

smitch · Mar 23, 2007

Used to buy Volksworld, The Golf mag cos of my old cabby and 911 Porsche World when i had the SC.

Don't bother with any nowadays, only really buy em when i've got a car i'm modding for ideas and that.

That's why i think this forum does so well. Cos of the lack of information on modding in the press.

I read Auto Express and Men's Health, Men's health is really a good read, one of the only mags I can read all of.

There's only so much coverage you can do on waterproof overcoats.

Very funny!

And yes I see your point about why this forum is as good as it is!!

It does get me thinking about how difficult it would be to produce such a magazine.... :think:

If there's a definate need for it I mean...

icenutter · Mar 23, 2007

ho ho!

icenutter · Mar 23, 2007

It's got reviews of Mac software, Hardware (not all peripherals work with Macs), how-to stuff, and news. It has got a bit boring though...

reza · Mar 23, 2007

Thank you!!!

If there's nothing too great out there (Audi-magazine wise), then it's time to create an Audi Sport magazine!

I spend way too much on magazines

I buy
Evo
Performance Tuning (new decent format)
Total 911 (Will buy one some day)
Autocar
Home Cinema Choice
Audi Driver
Performance VW

Plus the Autotrader every week - never know when there is a bargain looming.

I picked up a copy of Max power this month also as the Cayman on thr front cover caught my eye- the format is much better and moving more towards where it used to be years ago, rather than full of Chav mobiles. Dont think I could read it every month, but worth a flick through in the news agents.

Used to read any magazine I could get hold of..

Now, I just read this site: Audi-sport.net Get more of a chuckle from here.
