Speed Magazine

[MacGuyver]

Hey is it just me or has Speed Magazine disappeared from the face of the Earth? I haven't been able to find it for like over 2 months now, and I've looked in several news agencies that used to stock it. What gives?

"They taste like burning!."

Speed magazine ceased production months ago

yup long gone now!! yay

[MacGuyver]

NOOOOO! (In case you couldn't tell, I acually liked this magazine!) Well at least I wasn't subscribed to it, and ACP didn't send me copies of something like Cleo to make up for the rest of my subscription. Just like the last time one of my subscriptions ran out. What happened, they went bankrupt or something?

Probably got taken out of circulation because it got bagged out so much on various forums ...

Never really read it before. What was wrong with it? I just never bought it because it looked too (how to put this...) um... well, if a magazine cover could protray an overly large ego and love of ones self, that is the impression i got from that magazine. It had an air of "i am the best magazine in the world i am awesome" so i never bought it.

So what's the story? Why does no one like it?

EDIT: I think it took itself too seriously...

Why do you keep adding quotes to the end of your posts?

[Beer Baron]

well i would certainly prefer Speed over Street machine or stree commodore of whatever the fark.

[Freeman]

The article says one had to go and they picked Speed over 2dmaxx. Agree with you beer baron wouldnt pay a dollar for street machine

[thommo]

i can't believe they axed SPEED, best magazine ever.

haven't ever read an addition of "2dmax" but sounds pretty shite just from the title...

[Freeman]

Nah its pretty hardcore... lol. It has some ok content. some nice girls and some cars but its pretty full of itself.

Motor is always a good read, so go for that. Last issue had reviews of BMW M5, Aston Martin Vantage, Pagani Zonda and many other great cars. They love their exotics.

I liked SPEED...oh well

[babyskyline]

can say it never really appealed to me....and agree with big rizza it did seem like they were up em selves

Agreed

EDIT: I think it took itself too seriously...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thats cause it's target audiance was older. It was for people that can afford GTR's and mod them to decent levels. unlike hot 4's and other excel moding publications....

It's not that it took itself seriously or thought they were the best mag out, it was just aimed at a more mature audiance.... plus i found there to be plenty of humor in there... see back page comparisons...

EDIT: and as with the post above mine.... my g/f actualy loved reading it too as it wasn't filled with half naked chicks... we have internet for that people!!! :lol:
