I saw you Claire your R33 looked lovely.

I dont mind the US/AUS cars for the reason that I know so many of the UK cars and I have seen them over and over and over again in Banzai and Jap performance. What I dislike about Banzai in particular is the Max power style writing and car selection. For example the ridiculous Civic with scissor doors or the MR2 with a bodykit but practically no engine/tuning mods!!! Also what the hell is with these LED rear lights, they are the most hideous cheap looking things in existence, They look like they have just been bought from the £ shop, terrible. I liked the FD in the latest issue but what about the big power RX7 FD's in the UK that I havent seen covered?!? I have to admit, the only mag I now subscribe to is Evo, just because I enjoy to read it and not just look at the pictures. Jap performance are trying to improve but they have to suit there target audience which I guess is under 20 year old lads with Civic's, Corolla's etc. after all these magazines are a business like any other so it cant be perfect for everyone.
A perfect magazine to me is a mix of Jap performance cars with the editorial and writing content of EVO.
