Best car magazine...
Discussion
Autocar, and before that Motor (ffs!). Car, though better in the black and white days, Setright, Bishop etc, but still eclectic. EVO for a Eurowin’s prawn shop. TG rarely, but I still chuckle on occasion.
But where? WHERE do you retire to in your moment(s) of solitude?
2:1 Bog.
Fire away....
(ps, bet nobody at PH towers is remotely interested in this boring old thread...)

Performance Car was the best until it's demise, which then morphed into Evo. Used to love it and subscribe, articles were descriptive and the photography amazing, then it turned into "Porsche Owners Monthly and Repeated Reviews with Different Ratings Depending on the Direction of the Wind.com"
Now I'm now more of an Octane and Sports and Classic Cars reader.

My only guaranteed purchase every month is 'Motor Sport'. And although I may be an old fart now, even as a young fart I was a monthly buyer. There's a new German magazine similar out now too, for the life of me I can't remember the name as I'm away from home atm, but it's a good read - although the translation to English is a bit sketchy in places.Uncle John said:

I might be imagining it, but didn't "Performance Car" make a comeback quite recently (around 2008ish)?Now I'm now more of an Octane and Sports and Classic Cars reader.
I seem to remember it being pitched as a retort to EVO which had gone a bit crazy with expensive Lambos, Porsches, Ferraris etc. and PC would only feature cars under £50k?
If I recall correctly, the launch issue had a RenaultSport Twingo as its cover car.
I suspect it might have died again as I haven't seen it on any shelves for a while.

Appreciate that it as online magazine but Winding Road is well written.

That is my favourite magazine now but it's not a car mag in my book like say EVO. I know it has a few new car reviews but it's not the same. I love it for the historical content.Have a sub to both but frequently don't read all of EVO as it seems a bit dull and repetitive these days. Have subscribed for around 10yrs so maybe that's why! They do still produce the odd gem of a story though.
