Evo Issue 135

Page 087.

Enough said, best Clio shot I've ever seen. Great showing from Renaultsport in the top 100 drivers cars, as expected.

Anyone else got it yet? Unfortunately the print quality seems to be awful.

 

[Revels]

Such a tease, Chris! lol..

Is it sealed? Meaning can I go and look in the shop without buying it?

Probably not in the shops for a few days, mine came via subscription. But it's usually 'open' in the shops.

 

[Marky_]

You get it ages before the shops

 

[DrR]

scan please?

I wasn't going to anyway, was a nice 'wow' moment when I opened the page, wouldn't want to ruin that for anyone.

Probably talked it up to much now, but as somebody who likes his togging, it's technically perfect, full of bokeh, well composed and just generally pretty badass

 

[Marky_]

full of bokeh,

Think Revels will be buying it now.

 

[Revels]

I only ever buy Evo to look at the pics! lol..

I'll hunt it down next week.

*edit*

I've been less of a bokeh wh0re lately. I'm wide now

 

[Tav]

The pics are good but the writing is where it is at.

Not sure about this top 100 best drivers car mmmmlarky...I refuse to believe a Renault Alpine A610, Impreza STi or MR2 roadster are better drivers cars than a McLaren F1. Apparently the McLaren has a heavy steering, errr man up? I agree that the best drivers cars don't need to be super cars but really....an Alpine A610...

This has been f**king annoying on recent issues... pretty much the second half of EVO133 was unreadable!

 

[Ian]

Got me intrigued now Chris! I never buy mags, so might have to have a quick sneak peek in the shops when it's out.

Send it back with a letter of complaint. See what you can get from them.

 

[Fletcher]

Hopefully mine will be on the doormat when I get in.

I too have recently had issues with poor print in some of the back pages.

[Fletcher]

Just had a flick through my copy

 

[Steve]

The R26R was 4th and the Trophy was joint 7th.

Does renault own Evo????:rasp:

DC2 is equal if not better than a T, what about 205 1.9 pug had one & that was outrageous

 

[JT182]

Gotta love the Trophy, a giant killer in every sense! And they are bang on with their praise for it, fantastic car. And mine goes tomorrow, it's going to be a sad, sad day seeing that go. I just can't help but think that I'm going to regret it too.

 

[ukaskew]

Pic as shown above is cropped about 50%, one in the mag looks much better with all the scenery to the left.

Agreed, the pic doesn't really do it justice. But for representation its ok, Not having a big enough scanner FTL

 

[Glenn182Trophy]

funny you mention hondas because the dc2 beat the trophy in the best front wheel drive car ever issue so it looks like they have not got a clue what they have said in the past :S

 

[TooneySonic]

Hmm but in car of the decade they placed the ferrari 550 ahead of the zonda

no M3 CSL, M3 sport evo, honda integra type R or NSX-R??

 

[Leeds_VTO]

Any hi res versions of the trophy yet?

 

[TooneySonic]

yup i noticed this (see above) but then you realise that most of Evo's team has moved on since the early days, magazine just isn't the same anymore IMO

 

[Glenn182Trophy]

im glad its not just me mate as the fd civic is a 5 star car not in the 100 mental

 

[ukaskew]

I'm assuming most people haven't read the article (or driven every one of the 100 cars in question), it looks at the cars that "best encapsulate the thrill of driving", many of the cars mentioned in this thread do make the 100, for example the 205 and ITR are in the top 25. Obviously whoever is on the panel at the time will be scoring the cars, which explains differences between previous 'lists'.

Not necessarily the best, quickest etc, just those that are the most inspiring the drive. It's also fantastically well written and well worth a look.

Things like this are always down to opinion, but I imagine the 10 guys who compiled the list have a reasonable grasp of what's what.

 

[mccabe172]

Read the article and it is a bit contradictory from past artcolres, main point I saw was no fd? Even though it is a 5 star car.

I can only assume that it is based on personal preference and that they decided the positioning by voting.

 

[Ian_182]

I had evo land on my mat today.

The pic ture of the trophy is awsome and the mag is totally readable.....

 

[Seedy172]

The only magazine I ever managed to read from cover to cover. Fantatic read, even the weaker stories make for entertaining reading. Well worth anybodies money IMO.

 

[robotsonic]

evo is a great mag, harry metcalf must know his stuff as three of his cars made it to the top ten
