my dad used to get it years ago when we owned Beemers then stopped buying it, used to love looking at the pics when i was a nipper. How many issues you have 120+ and how much money did you get for them?

Mags are just not worth much used to be honest.... I only ever buy Evo every month..The others now and then and really thats only Auto Italia these days.....About 6 years ago I used to get them all...EVO, CAR, TOP GEAR, Autocar....CAR just went *****, Top Gear has a shocking layout and Autocar was rubbish...Plus all the news is on Piston Heads as they own it.

Autocar is known as Autocrap, Car is boring but used to be great, Top Gear has always been shite as far as i am aware. Motorsport is a good magazine, quite like that along with Octane.

I like EVO but then I had every copy of the mag that came before it Perfomance Car.....Performance Car was the Mag that gave Clarkson his writing break. He had a column in there that was funny as ****....My lasting memory of Performance Car was Harry Metcalfs red Ghibli Cup.

yeah loads of those, what about the F40 replica :D:D that Beta coupe VX looks smart, red fulvia for 10K takes my fancy and that Monte Carlo above it. Also like that 159 Ti sports wagon, have a soft spot for those in TI spec, look really smart.
