I quite like Petrol Blog. AROnline is good for British stuff.

ARonline seems to have tied itself up with Honest John. Some of the detail on ARonline is great, but the partisan bias when reviewing old BL turds like the Ital and Allegro is almost comical.
The Supercar Kids is an interesting one, targeted towards youngsters as an e-zine.
Great photography from some young, talented snappers.

Not a great Jalopnik fan. Just seems to be click-baiting nonsense. Current top story is a video "Watch A Ferrari Owner Go Nuts On This 'Pee Prankster'".Sadly one of their better writers, a Hungarian named Peter Orosz appears to have left the site. Not to mention the constant facelifts that make it increasingly less useable.
Something about the gawker sites really grates with me clearly

Yes it does, sites which focus on older cars which aren't quite classics it most peoples eyes are always interesting. Cars of the 80's, 90's and 00's are good to see and read about. I think that's why I prefer reading my older copies of Performance Car vs. current copies of EVO etc. www.motorpunk.co.uk for an 'alternative' view of the motoring world, co-written (well, crayoned) by our very own Crack Fox.
Please support him - he has 7 feral kids badly in need of a haircut and toenail scrub, 5 (5?) incontinent grandparents and a Porsche 968 to support. It's not a Clubsport though, so gets no sympathy from me

Great fun to do - my writing works best half way through a bottle of Merlot; not sure my liver will make it to issue 12. Drunken spell checking is also pretty futile.

The research done for ARonline is immense. Gotta love it for its geeky levels of detail ... which I love ...and makes me a geek I suppose!ARonline seems to have tied itself up with Honest John. Some of the detail on ARonline is great, but the partisan bias when reviewing old BL turds like the Ital and Allegro is almost comical.
The reverential ways it "bigs up" the BL stters is quite funny. He clearly wanted us to love the MG6 too - that didn't happen much did it? I actually like the Honest John stuff too.
Not so much a magazine, but Jay Leno's Garage on YouTube is pretty good. The guy just loves cars, and he always has people who know about the car to come along and talk about it. From things like the new Corvette and Fiat 500L to crazy custom creations like Randy Grubb's DecoLiner.
It's all original content too, not just the copy/paste deal that you see so much of online.
