Your favorite Car magazine...

And your worst...and why?
My worst is Motor Trend.. Gawd I hate that rag! My all time fave is Rod Action and/or Hot Rod Mechanix... How bout you? Mikey

 

speed mechanics was the best

Motor trend sucks

 

I hate any mag that shows anything on imports! I love the rest including HOTROD DELUX.

 

Well it used to be The Rodders Journal until No 47. No storys. Good pix ,any easy one for them to put together and get our money.

 

TRJ...specially #47. Money well spent.

 

I subscribed to Street Rodder in the mid 70s ,ended up with 24 issues of Truckin instead ,musta ticked the wrong box on sub. slip,,,,

 

New Zealand Hot Rod Magazine is tops down under..

 

Anchorboy46,
I don't think that I can pin it down to one title, however the original incarnation of Rodders Digest was always a good read as is Rolls & Pleats. I'm not too fussed on the RAT style magazines.

I'm with Lifestylz , NZHRM !!

 

I really miss Hop Up. For real-deal trad style hot rods it was,by far,the best!
Rodder's Journal, Street Rodder, Hemming's Classic Car, and Rod & Custom are usually good.
Old issues of Hot Rod mag are great.
The H.A.M.B. is way better than any print magazine.

 

I like street rodder,then maybe hot rod delux,and then playboyall the rest are turning into commercials for vendors and shitty adds that i dont want to pay for.about like TV.

 

to many vender pushed articles.............Hot Rod Mechanix.......Early Rodders Digest...........

 

50s, 60s Hot rod, Rod &custom, Car craft. plenty of tech and how tos. mid 60s Hot rod had in depth tech on Ford indy engine, Offy, SOCH Ford 427 etc.
I still look them over.

the Rodders Journal is the only magazine I subscribe to

 

Rodders Journal and a few aussie little pages like fuel and chopped. American magazines are generally of a poorer standard in their journalism when compared to their Australian counterparts (rodders journal being the glaring exception).

 

Eddie Ford's old scribbles; Custom Rodder. Slapdash layout & Funky article titles part of the fun. good.
THE BEST centrefolds are in 'CHOPPED'. Australian . Totally HAMB safe.

Yawn? The pedestrian feature article writing on Ohio George's '33 in the Rodder's Journal.

Barracuda was a swingin' thing.
Old Hot Rod mags. Older usually better. UP to '64 esp.
- What was that one under Rod Action's banner with the street machines & faded color? Maybe it was Rod Action.
O/t; Australian Muscle Car is VERY GOOD. Octane. Vintage Motorsport . ( if i'm rich). Automobilia (France)

Ganahl stuff- yeh yeh.. goood
Wizz
Burnout
R&K
Australian Street Rodding
The old Australian Hot Rod issues & especially the 'Hot Rodding Review' mags- + all the others..



Australia- The 50+ years price fixing at newstands= hell.

 

liked the 50's and 60's Hot Rod and Rod & Custom - Car Craft etc.

got 3 year of Hot Rod for $18 a couple of years ago don't care if it comes at all

don't subscribe to any thing now

 

TRJ is excellent. Street Rodder I got a great deal on so it's OK. I'm tired of Street Rodder's expensive cars and clueless owners. Expensive is OK, and clueless is OK, just please not together.
Actually, this board has become my favorite "magazine" in that I get better info, more pictures and no waiting for the mailman to read my mag first.

 

The only subscription I renewed last year was TRJ. That is a great rag I have all my old ones and still read them over and over. I also love going to swaps and getting '40's, '50's, and '60's rags like CC and HR. I cant stand Car Craft that is a bull shit magazine. It's just a bunch of yuppie fucks talking about the Prius.

 

Kustoms Illustrated. its a little book. very current, all about the cars no BS.

 

Rod and Custom and Old Skool Rodz.

 

The Rodders Journal is the only magazine I subscribe to. I purchase vintage "Hop Up" when I find them but that's about it.

The primary reason I don't purchase the others is lack of Traditional Rods!! SRM is all vendors and high end professional Billet Rods. R&C is "OK", but I would prefer they feature some of the cars that are in their "Events" coverage. Some of these cars are outstanding and more in line with the average reader.
<O</O
I don't even consider Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Ol-Skool Rodz, popular hot rodding etc.

 

That's a pretty bad swear word you said there, watch your language on this sit! Just shitting you

 

Anything written by Pat Gannahl

 

I may have to wash my mouth out with soap now !!!! And do the same
with some cold beer later today !!!!!!! LOL. You Guys and Gals are the BEST !!!!!!!! Tom ( Tired Old man)

 

The Rodder's Journal and Rolls and Pleats are my must have magazines.

I wish the HOP UP annuals were still being published...

 

I'm partial to HOT ROD, can't say exactly why...

 

TRADITIONAL ROD & KUSTOM is my current favorite.

 

I subscribe to Rod and Custom and Street Rodder, I like Rod and Custom the best.It was Hot Rod in the sixtys and Car Craft in the same time period. Lots of good drag racing coverage. N.N.

 

my fav is hot rod delux rod and custom my worst is popular hotrodding
