Just wondered ( ok, I`ll let you include your knitting mags etc ;) ) as they can add up to a tidy sum before you know it! :)

Around three each month, more if I have a lot of train journeys to do.

If you are my missus asking it is about three.

I am subscribed to Evo, but precisely when it drops through the letterbox is, it seems in the lap of the Gods! Always get Autocar when I go shopping with wifey too

Autocar, Autosport, EVO, Classic & Sports Car, Car, EVO, Octane, TVRCC Sprint, Motorsport, Top Gear.

All filed in my library which grows by about 4 inches a month, 4 feet per year. Then there are the books...



Go on, ask me one on cars.

Evo, Top Gear, Auto Express x4.333, Porsche Post, IAM, Classic & Sports Car, TIPEC magazine, 911 & Porsche World, Porsche Purely GT (or whatever it's called).

The number of car mags I get through is determined by how busy the motor trade is that month.

I used to buy 4-6 a month.

Then it got boring, and I've stopped buying them.

Reviews of the same stuff all the time. Let's go to the Nurburgring. Here's a Ferrari. Or perhaps we'll take a Lamborghini to Italy. Again. Oh look, a new type of Mitsi Evo, with carbon wiper blade holders. And hey, which hot hatch? Let's use the same cars we used in the same test 6 months ago, or maybe use the same cars we used in the "Car of the Year!" hot hatch segment 3.5 months ago. And on. And on. And on.

I still buy either Top Gear or Evo occasionally, but the turning point definitely came when I popped into a newsagents just before getting on the train, saw the "Top Gear Supercar Special", grabbed and it...discovered it was just a £4 issue of all the supercar features I'd read in TG over the last 12 months. Was extremely pissed off at this blatent money grabbing technique, and haven't bought a car mag since.

Cept this months Evo. (Well, you never know...)
