Yeah +1 and some of the power figures that people got from that little motor were insane.

For our last issue when we closed Max we did a poster which had every single cover we'd ever published. There were some very cool cars on the covers!

I didn't realise it was no longer in publication and after just reading the Wiki write up I've learnt that Fast Car, Revs & Redline are also deceased. How times change...

I guess the whole move towards more eco-friendly cars and insurance prices/tighter mot regs  have moved modifying out of reach of the
people who were fearless enough to build and run some of these motors.

1. bodykits were never cool.
2. 3-spoke alloys were and never will be cool.
3. Fast Car, Revs and Max Power were never cool.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
