Strada Magazine

[Podie]

Anyone seen this? https://stradamagazine.co.uk/

Focusing on cars of the 80s, 90s and 2000s, it's a quarterly publication for a tenner (£30 for the annual sub).

Pretty tempted to give it a punt to replace the sorely missed "Modern Classics" magazine that I enjoyed so much...

Been keeping an eye on this, as really miss Modern Classics.

The new magazine looks good, just not sure I can justify £10 a copy!

It's quarterly, so £10 doesn't seem that bad.

More of a frustration for me (as with the Road Rat) is the paper only decision. I get people are doing the "take time to get away from the computer" thing, but I don't want to be storing reams of bloody tree again.

Looks good although my only criticism is there is never enough Italian content in them. Its called Strada - why isn't the 130TC in there, particularly given it was the hottest hatch when it came out.

Instead we have yet another article about 205 GTIs. I've had 2 and they were good but come on!

Funnily enough, guess what’s in issue 2

Despite misgivings about paper only, I've relented and gone for the annual sub.

Yeah, I follow stalk the poor sod on Twitter, which is how I found it.

I then whinged like fk about it being paper only, but caved like an addict needing a fix

Postie just been... IT'S HERE!

First impressions are good. Nicely made, decent weight and the photography is nice. Alpina Z1 article looks like it'll be the first stop.

Sadly pages 109-144 seem to have been chewed by the printer as the outside packaging was perfect (I've sent an email to Strada)

Could you send me the details directly? [e-mail]

Done! Many thanks.

Minor typo there - it's 109-114.

Read a few articles - brilliant work. Really glad I parted with my hard earned. The articles are well written and the photography is top notch.

Just to follow this up, Nathan sorted me out with a replacement copy - which is much appreciated as a few pages were damaged to the point they were no longer part of the magazine

Really loving the magazine, both in terms of article quality and the photography. Looking forward to Issue 2!
