Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yep, I just do NOT now buy UK mags.... .... they are absolute junk ..........and just a selection of poor adverts with staples, amd C^ap Value, LRE LRM LRO etc BUT......I saw a mate engrosed in a UK mag, he let me have a lookie, and 20 mins later I decided it was worth BUYING , so I have Its full of good vehicle reports and interesting 4x4 action etc, NO F SHINEYS and reports rehashed that we have either seen time and time again, or that are just plain padding.. TOR March 2006. Now, are the others following in the next few months going to be as good, or is this just a flash in the pan ? IMHO THIS months one is worth buying........ and for a very long time I have to say thats not something I have thought of ANY of the UK Mags. Good on TOR if they have woken up (at last) next time your in WHS have a lookie, you'll prob buy it too ! Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najw Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 They have taken all the Shiny content out and put it into a new mag - Planet 4x4 - leaving Total Off Road free to do exactly what it says on the cover They've even added a LR section to keep you lot happy Plus there will be 4 pages on every round of the AWDC Scorpion Racing Challenge Trophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you get to see some of the other competition motors out there, IMHO great mag, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 if it has picked up I'll go and get a copy if I can find one around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istruggle2gate11 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 if it has picked up I'll go and get a copy if I can find one around here. Oh its picked up, much better now, and certainly much better than the other cover to cover advert ridden comics. This months even stars one of our own forum members (DirtyDiesel) he gets a mention for building the rollcage on a unimog axle special. The off road club Im in also gets a mention in the Malachi feature. Seems they are spreading their wings into the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
