OK bad reference to a sixties song. I go to the bookstores to find VW air cooled mags and the only one around is hot VWS. Weren't there more?

I agree. The two things that keep me on the Road & Track list are Peter Egan and the $9.99/yr subsription rate. Every month, I read his column and skim through the rest, so I pretty much pay $10/yr to read Peter Egan.
My mag of choice these days is Hemmings Sports Cars & Exotics. I truly enjoy that magazine cover to cover. I long for the days of VW & Porsche before it became Euopean Car, but I understand why they did what they did. Excellence is OK, and I think that they are beginning to get the picture that most of their subscribers are old-school Porsche fans and not the Boxster/996-"I bought it because I could" kind of crowd. That being said, I get WAY more information and entertainment from the online forums than I ever did from the rags. |
