My favourite is MOTOR, for obvious reasons.
I've started buying SPEED, which is a well rounded magazine - sometimes their writing standards seem to be lacking a little, but no magazine is immune to shitty writers (it's hard to find people who know what they're talking about and can talk about it in an interesting, informative way).
I also buy Fast Fours and Zoom on occasion (they're about fast four and six cylinders, unlike some). I've bought SM a few times, but sometimes their bogan writing tone and style annoys me (it's good to be patriotic but a line has to be drawn somewhere...). I used to buy wheels heaps, but they've become more of a "car buyer's guide" than a bible for the enthusiast. They are waaay too formal nowadays (informative rather than entertaining), and they drive too many shitboxes. They've become too political for my liking, since Ged Bulmer took over. But they're very professional, and have some great photos (so do SPEED).
Don't get me started on HOT4s. Let's just say they're the scum of the proverbial fish tank.
Yeh so obviously a part of car culture is reading car mags, so what are your favourites and for what reasons do you love em? Similarly, what are your opposites and for what reasons do you LOATHE em?
