Which magazine do you consider to be the best one? Golf + seems to be getting thinner every month (but not any cheaper!) - I was really disappointed with it this month. Thing is I still prefer it to PVW, but Golf+ seems to have better content, but you do get more for your money with PVW........Maybe it's a case of quality not quantity.......... :grin:
-
neither of those two they are both wank. Getting more and more filled with chav shyte cars, and naked women. Might aswell just disband and put it all as an addon to lax pooter.
Now VWM that is a proper vw mag. :cool: :cool:
-
edition 38 write up in this months pvw, was sh!te, didn't even get a sniff of tvr/golf, infact all the pics were crappy, the inters spread was better and that was a real sh!tty event this year.... :huh:
-
I keep promising myself that im gonna stop buying them both ,but have every copy of both :embarassed:
+ if i added up all the money spent on vw mags over the last 10 years it would buy me a new set of rims,
-
sweet wag, if ye'v got every copy, can i borrow the mk3 madness edition to have a sniff at??? :wink:
-
havent bought either for ages now... still keep buying volksworld and vwm though....
:laugh:
-
i keep reading my bros aircooled mag....man do i want a beatle. . .
-
I must confess to buying air cooled mags every now and then too - the cars are too expensive these days though......................... :cry:
-
I am already paying for the internet so anything I want to know I just go surfing and it saves the the £3/4 or however much they cost every month. Problem solved!!
-
VWM :tongue: bit of everything :smiley:
tho i have got a subscription to golf+, which tbh im finding disappointing :undecided:
-
This month found both mags really poor felt like i was picking up a leaflet(ok bit of an exaggeration). Atleast with the golf+ the subscriptions work out cheaper and i wish id got the haynes golf gti performance manual free a few months back. Depending on the cars inside i usually prefer the golf+ because of the ask the brain section and the for sales is much bigger but readers rides in pvw is usually pretty good. sorry guys im to young for Air colled motors :grin:
-
I buy both mags :cool:
-
lol was goner say the same both on subscription costs me about £15 every 3 months for both
-
i buy both and i'm not sure i could say which one i prefer. golf+ seems a bit more user friendly, in that alot of their feature cars are uk based and are in the realms of achievable. whereas pvw has more car porn and features the extremes of modifying. i also think pvw think they are god like and their opinion is the only right one. they seem to feature cars that fit in with their current favourite image. and how many shots of the staff at shows can they put in? ego trippers definately!!
i'll probably still buy both as you do get some good stuff in there but they both have their downsides.
-
I dont buy any car mags these days, I dont see the point. If i want a wank ill buy a titty mag, If i wanna look at cars ill go online.
-
I can't stop buying both pvw and golf+ and have done for years and years! I think with Golf+ they give the impression of genuinely loving the UK dub scene whereas PVW just love themselves :tongue: The PVW e38 show review was just a joke. I know it was a very social event but why so many pictures of people messing about and so few of all the hundreds of wicked cars? All their talk of how e38 and VW Festival were so good, while constantly slating the old shows like Inters gets on my nerves. Perhaps if they actually put a bit of effort in and had a proper presence at more UK shows rather than bringing us the latest pics of them getting drunk at various euro shows....
and don't get me started on that Ultimate Golf magazine PVW did!
-
:rolleyes:
Spot the anorak :tongue:
-
Il get you started then. i had a browse at ultimate pvw and wouldnt mind buyin it but was well pricey (think it was £7) for what it was and i got the mags with most them features in not impressed at all. a review of some local meets and daily drives would have been more interesting for myself.
-
Golf + for me, used to get PVW but the content was sh!te. Golf+ is a bit thin, but the write ups are ussually quality.
Although my free gift never showed when i subscribed :angry:
-
go to wh smith, stand there for 30 odd minutes and read for free :grin:
-
I tend to buy Golf+ but not religiously, if i like the look of the car on the front then i tend to buy it, and only ever buy pvw if they have no Golf + left, i only ever read the articles that are of interst to me and dnt tend to read all of it.
I am not Performance VW's biggest fan to be honest, they had pictures of V6 clio's with body kits in there last month! I dnt want to see that!
so to wrap up i prefer golf + and to be honest cant see any cause for complaints! Although "the brain" annoys me sometimes when someone is asking for advice on tuning their particular engine, all they say is "dnt build a car u can buy" - the guy just wanted advice on tuning his engine not on how to buy a car!
-
I go for Golf+ and sadly I read it cover to cover, not bothered with PVW for ages now.
Got to disagree with you slightly there Neaty, I know the brain can come across as a bit full of himself but when someone asks "How do I make my 1.8 GL into a 16V" then the retort of "Dont build a car you can buy" would be quite apt. :smiley:
-
I know what he is saying, it makes sense, dnt build a car u can buy but, each to their own. Plus alot of the time, the people who are trying to build a car they can buy cant afford it, thus they try and build it.
-
Hello all, used to subscribe to Golf mag and buy of the shelf PVW although wasn't bothered if it had sold out,like you have said PVW are full of themseves and like seeing themselves in print!! So out the 2 its got to be Golf mag every time and the Brain is class although its quicker to ask qustions on this forum :wink: He's a knowledgeable guy and probably only says buy a car with the engine already fitted as he gets to see alot of the bodges attempted.. He needs to open a Garage near the Brighton area!! :laugh:
-
^^^ word up!! local boy! i'm in worthing!! ;)
-
golf + easy the best however i drewl over classic ford more mk2 escorts are so much better than mk2 golfs not better than mk1 golfs though.
-
18 holes and putting thats a good golf mag
-
So is "hole in one" ah no sorry thats another type of mag!
-
If you have to buy one it''ll be golf+ as it comes out at start of the month and when pvw comes out couple weeks later it filled with the same crap, But different cars. Best if you have spare 2hrs and go to whsmiths read through it there. :grin:
