Geo Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 With the Internet these days, Magazines and cars are becoming a thing of the past. You will find more magazines may follow the same path. I think Max Power did help the modded scene ages ago, now you can get more info/pics/prices traders etc on what you want with a quick google RIP....

L18msy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I used to buy MP every month untill a few years back. It just ended up with loads of cars that had silly amounts thrown at them and companies doing all the work. There were no more 'homegrown' and low budget stuff in it anymore and that was the thing that attracted me to it at the start. Now i just buy Retro Rides and the odd Banzai and Fast Car if there is something eye catching on the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Last time I looked, it was more of a pron mag....!! Yeah that as well. Had to watch were you left it lying around.

PJ Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 has anyone in the club been featured in MP? supra or any other cars? Sadly yes with my Turbo'd 2.0L New Beetle back in 2001, was quite a laugh doing the shoot. Also had shoots back then with Redline magazine and Performance VW too.

PJ Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I'll see if I can dig it out, still got the car, it's been in one of my lock ups for about 7 years now! http://clubaristo.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6103&stc=1&d=1245608032 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 As if you've kept a car in a lock up for 7 years I don't think I've ever read it, there were better magazines about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Yes, I've clearly just made it all up as a humerous jape and live in a little fantasy land.... That's the second time "as if" has been taken in the wrong context. I mean as if as in "no way", not as though I don't believe you, sorry..

marcAB10 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 oooh i wanna see more pics of that, looks pretty interesting (never thought i'd say that about a new bug ) how come you've just kept it locked away and not used it/sold it? seems a waste.

supra steveo Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It's a shame really, it was totally crap but I thought it was great when I was a teen i used to buy it religously as a teen, ive even got issue #1 ........ does this mean they are going to be worth abit more than a few quid soon lol Sad times. avin a laugh arnt you ? Sadly yes with my Turbo'd 2.0L New Beetle back in 2001, was quite a laugh doing the shoot.

PJ Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 April 2001 Steveo - They did the shoot in the Portsmouth Tricorn centre and sadly photochopped flames over the wheels! Classy! Marc it's a long story involving a divorce case and it's been out of sight out of mind since. I took that picture June last year and had intended on getting it out and running for the missus, but it's taken a back seat. It's running a Rotrex Supercharger and nitrous, or was before it got mothballed, it needs a programable ECU to get it running again, and an MOT as it's never had one, it's got 31k on the clock IIRC.
