Yep the Saab went pop after a little fettling i seem to remember.
I echo the comments others that it was great until it followed its stable mate Max Power.
The staff challenges were always a good read such as the trip to the south of France and Hot hatches for under a grand, some would say a forerunner to the Top Gear Challenges.
If it was still going and in that format I would still buy it!

Everything got a liberal blast of "10K Boost" .... I echo the comments others that it was great until it followed its stable mate Max Power.

Hi there,
I might be a bit late with this post but might as well give it a bash! Hello,
I have been trying to track down Revs mag copies for ages! I am looking for 1 in particular: its got a white Peugeot 205 on the front cover and it's called Santa Pug. Im afraid i don't have the issue number or date of publication, must have been between 1998 and 2005?
I own the car in question and am looking for all the info on it i can get hold of so that it can be restored to it's former glory.
If any one could help I'd be most appreciative and would of course offer funds for the copy.
In the meantime i will approach the magazine publishers who were mentioned at the beginning of this thread.
Thanks,
Frank.

That rings a bell with me...was it on the cover doing a burnout with no bonnet on? I remember going to the pod for ultimate street car in the late 90s in my clio williams and in fellas camped up next to us had this cracking looking pug with throttle bodies that sounded awesome and went rather well.I might be a bit late with this post but might as well give it a bash!

Not Issue 9 then - that's a turbo oneLike Fast Car it was ok and then one day I bought it and thought I had bought the right magazine, like has been said it went all Max Power, free Seatbelt pad and all that s
t, other thuff that put me off Revs and its ilk,
Pictures of teenage skanks with their tits out
Barried cars
Swearing all the time, "fking Sweet" and words like "Banging"
Letters from imbeciles laughing about killing peoples pets and crashing
Stuff about "ICE" and cars with a more powerful amplifier than engine
I didnt mind all that in Max Power, just dont buy it but when all my favourites went over to being soft core sub "loaded" gutter journalism that was it, not expecting the Telegraph here.
I didnt stop reading them, used to just have a flick through in WHsmith, cant do that now, no longer welcome, apparently asking for a chair and a brew is considered a cheeky.

Was Revs the one that had a series of essentially "how to drive" articles written by someone in the know?
Pretty basic stuff like looking for telegraph poles to predict the road pattern you couldn't see & watching out for curbs converging indicating a tightening arduous etc?
If so that mag was priceless to me, really handy stuff to a teenage lad who had no idea why his XR2 went sideways when he got off the throttle mid bend.

It's funny seeing this Revs mag thread and that Fast Car has cropped up aswell, my work takes me into all the main supermarkets and I tend to have a browse of the car mags when I'm in store and only yesterday I clocked that Fast Car was still going and I thought to myself, how? who on earth is reading it? how has it survived when far better mags of that ilk such as Revs and Max Power have disapeared...although as a younger chap i purchesed just about all of them month in and month out fast car was always the poor relation and certainly the last one I'd look for.

I can only heap on the misery - I HAD that issue, believe it to be December '98 (was working with a Cossie nut in west London at the time so talked cars and read the mags on our breaks), sadly got cleared out along with all the Autocars, Autosports, F1 Racings and other mags when I emigrated in 2007.

Was that the track day at Three Sisters in Wigan? If so I was there with my Pulsar
Was looking at that the other day. Always enjoyed reading when they got the group test cars and put them on the dyno - some interesting results! No wonder the Laguna V6s were so fast compared to the Vectra/MondeosK50 DEL said:

Does anyone know if old articles exist online? I know the mag got canned a few years ago, but the "trace your old car" thread prompted me to have a bit of a search around for my old MG Metro Turbo.
I took part in a Mk2 photoshoot/feature for aforementioned mag, probably in 97 or thereabouts, hence the thought about Revs.

This is great!!!! Thank you very much! just what i'm looking for! Do you want to sell the mag. Thats the car for sure. i must say it's looking very sorry for itself so needs lots of attention.( if you click the pages, they should open as legible copies )
i must say its great of you to have gone through the trouble of scanning the mag article in, really appreciated.
