Modifying your 4s and rotaries

Has anyone seen this mag in the newsagents? It has two 70's Celicas, one with a 3tgeu and the other with a rotary! It also has a few other small articles in there as well!
Unfortunally it is like just about every other mag out there! It seems to be written by someone that does'nt know anything about cars at all!

Yeah i'm a subscriber to Hot4's but i'm not sure is I will resubscribe again! I might just go to the news agent and just have a look through the mag and see if there is anything interesting in it, and then buy it if there is!

I sae that magazine modifying your 4s and rotaries. Had some decent cars but I read the articles on them and sounded like it had been written by a 14 year old.
Things like with the 3t-gte Celica, wrote he forgot his camera or something so couldn't get engine shots and crap. Then lost the guys number or address...
Hot4s I think over the last year has seriously gone downhill. I was also subscribed but once it ran out didn't subscribe again. Each edition that comes out at the newsagency I have a flick through to see if its worth buying and 9 times out of 10 I've put it back on the shelf.
Zoom and fast fours are good though I think.

You'll find that most of these "one-off" magazines are nothing more than compilations of old articles from other magazines. I strongly doubt they copied the article without the author's permission though!
I pretty much stopped buying modified car magazines after I got a decent internet connection - the wealth of knowledge and information available online makes those magazines looks like a big waste of time and money.
