hendo Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 What about an impreza though the ages feature-or a special on the classic scrapage scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have to say that I quite enjoy it. Yes there are a lot of adverts, but I wouldn't say they were excessive, or rather I've never noticed that they are excessive.What I do notice though, being a reader of a number of auto mags, it is noticable that the writing doesn't seem to have quite the same sparkle as the writing in such as Evo. I can't quite put my finger on why that is. It's interesting, and informative and I've no intention of stopping my current subscription, but it needs something, but I'm not sure what that something is..... Maybe it is the curse of trying to write soley about a single brand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 As an aside, how about a feature (or two) on some of the JDM models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 What about an impreza though the ages feature-or a special on the classic scrapage scheme?Think this is a cracking idea could it be worth looking at say having the cars in there different versions, but all in the same colour I know this would be difficult but think we can cover most options in WHITE.Classic 4dr saloon (Artyscoob/JDM_Mike), Classic 2dr (Adamtyper/Marktyper), Wagon (Ivan/Initialg)Bugeye (Hendo)Blobeye (Marv)Hawkeye (can't think of a nice white hawk lol)Hatch (Salsa King)Just an idea.

As I said before I can't put my finger on what is missing, maybe that's simply the difference in the quality of the writers involved, or the curse of writing about a single make, which primarily is mostly a single model, there's only so much enthusiasm you can muster ?

scatty Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 you get what you pay for probably applies....the likes of evo/redline can afford to get decent journo's.. a newly starting mag will have to start at the bottom...i know what your saying tho....

gurn Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 i'm liking the idea of an all white car shoot.....and gaz's idea......... Keep them coming guys, some great ideas so far!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 personaly I prefer an all grey issue, may be an STI5 wagon versus RB5 feature. One could argue that both a reasonably unique and reasonably scarce.I know where there's a nice V5 they can use Or perhaps there's something to be had comparing similar coloured similar generation vehicles.....Maybe have to think a bit.As for the journo quality(and stick with me on this as it rambles a bit)..... you'd think they might be approaching the point with the collective circulation they could maybe do a feature where they compare the best or good examples of each of the breed of the 3 mags they produce (scoob, evo, nissan), as lets face we all love Jap cars regardless of badge we just happen to prefer scoobs And perhpas as they could spread the cost as the article would go in all three, they could even get a guest writer to pen the article.....Not sure how you'd approach that a suggestion though without poffending the encumbent writers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
