Found some very old Car mags while at my mums.Load of Performance VW etc mags when i had the Mk1 & some old EVO mags with Clio reviews,just thought was pretty cool to share.
Harry founded EVO mag, founded it in 1998 with a few of the old crew, Dickie Meaden, Steve Sutcliffe etc.Does or did he own EVO magazine?.as been watching his Youtube and guy is loaded with so many nice cars if there all his,also his son works for EVO also & owns a Black 182?
Agree, all the Collecting Cars podcasts are excellent (except the one with the influencer t**t) lolRegards Harry... anyone interested, check out Chris Harris’ podcast ‘the collecting cars podcast’
There’s one where his guest was Harry Metcalf and it covers all the Evo mag birth and running stuff.

For those interested in the Collecting Cars podcasts, they're available on YouTube

Agreed.Such a shame they're so sporadic!
Evo was such a great mag! I've got most of the early ones, but haven't bought it in years.
I've got a lot of the specials, anything McLaren F1 I've got. I've got the Clio ones too, including the £10k heroes.. back when a phase 1 Vee could be had for that![/b]
I used to buy 3-4 car mags a month around the time I originally placed the order for my 172 Cup in 2003.
Now, I honestly can't remember the last time I bought a print copy of anything!
Same here. I strangely find that my mind wanders when reading stuff in electronic form. I noticed this first when I got a Kindle - on which I've never finished a book, yet could easily read through a printed equivalent.Love reading things in print, i find its a much nicer experience than that of reading a screen.

The last printed car magazine I've bought has been two editions of The Road Rat. Very pricey for what is still essentially a magazine, but the production quality and content is excellent. They only release four editions during the course of a year too - not monthly.
The Road Rat Magazine | A Thing For Cars
The Road Rat is the "world's most beautiful car magazine". Not overly obsessed with the detail of old cars nor over–impressed with the performance of new; The Road Rat firmly believes there are good stories in both old and new and in racing too. But above all The Road Rat believes in the glory...theroadrat.com
Ah 13k for a clio 172 cup. I think mine was 11.5k.
Back when you could (just about) afford a new car.
Those were the days. Mine was a pre reg.Mine was £10.7k direct from new-car-discount.com!
I think back-dating them makes the cost seem very prohibitive! I didn't get the first edition so can't comment on that - but the other two have been really worth it. One of those Sunday afternoon things to flick through and read if you've got a bit of time to kill.Amazing you mention Road Rat, i was just putting their subscription in a shopping cart.
I've seen it advertised but not yet signed up and was wondering if it was worth it.
the first 4 issues i can buy as a back date for £50 plus £40 for a new subscription, so that's £90 on print i haven't yet read lol
Worth it?
My 182 was £12.2k through Lloyds-TSB Car Finance. Picked it up from Renault Manchester.Mine was £10.7k direct from new-car-discount.com!
Agreed.
IMO the best one is when they talk to David Clark, (Chap who sold the McLaren F1 when new).
This guy is cooler than a polar bears ball bag! Absolute hero.
