the demise of australian automotive magazines,

[driftke70]

i have a japanese friend send me option and car trading magazines

Apparently it's the amound of subscriptions that makes or breaks a mag.
I remember Ben Ellis saying there was not enough subscriptions to Drift Battle and he payed out of his own pocket for the last few issues.
So if you like a mag, subscribe to it.
Its cheaper, and you get them delivered, and you do a little bit to keep it going.

Once drift battle died I stopped buying modded car mags, for the most part. Except for Street Machine, 'coz deeeep down inside I'm still a bogan

[Dom86]

BOGAN! ^^^^^^^^^^ Lets get him!!!!!!!!!

[spiderman]

I wear flannies and blue singlets, too
In reality it's a cunning disguise needed to survive in Bogan Central, NSW, where the children are inbred and the beer is VB

[Dom86]

Ahahahah.

DB and HPI are the best

[Breaka]

I'll only ever buy the odd HPI.

well thank fark for that..i thought i was the only one who thought hpi and zoom were starting to read a little simmilar to fag4's.. i only wish they could get ben ellis back as the editor back in the sub 100 issue era..the mags were a joy to read then..
Now they dont seem to tell you much about whats actually in the car just some 10 minute speel about how the owner got his shoelace caught in the door or some shit like that..

but i reckon ill still buy em, gotta read something while im taking a shit..

I've given up on all the other except RACE.
Good articles and tech that makes you THINK
It is race/grip orientated but tech is tech.



Unfortunatly not easiest to find but I highly recommend.
