No subscribtions at the moment, but I usually buy "Fast Bikes" and "Performance Bikes" - Both in the British version..

I'd love to subscribe to Top Gear Mag, but that is just too damn expensive here in DK...

I haven't had a bike mag subscription for a few years now, (blame the internet) though back in the day I subscribed to BIKE, Performance Bikes and SUPERBIKE. How's PB getting along without Gus and Ron? :(

So that will be every month then :)

I certainly agree. evo is one of the only mags that I find myself rereading. 👍
 
Automobile Magazine is the only subscription I have at the moment.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Racecar Engineering? I saw it on a table at the engineering library at school, but I didn't have time to look at it.

I subscribe and find it a great read, it could be considered a bit dry and technical by some, but I find it a great reference tool.

I personally love the in-depth tech look at race cars that run each issue, as it's normally difficult to get the kind of detail them go into.

They covered both the Audi R10 and Nissan 350Z GT2 cars in the July issue and from a techinacal and engineering standpoint they were covered excellently.

A must for anyone with a love of motorsport, engineering and set-up.

Technical is good, and the engineering side of things (not just automobiles) is something I'm very much interested in. I'll have a look at the PDF file and make my decision. Thanks Scaff.

You should enjoy it then, I've added a link (the last one) to quite a few different articles, which should give you a flavour.

I've been looking at the PDFs and Racecar Engineering looks like a magazine I'd enjoy reading. Thanks again. :cheers:
 
I only subscribe to Car and Driver right now. Sure, you can find car news much sooner on the Internet (and I do – I have RSS subscriptions to Autoblog and Edmunds), but nothing can match the literary prowess of C/D’s editors. Plus, John Phillips is a riot.

I might eventually consider subscriptions to National Geographic and Popular Mechanics, and now that Duke mentions it, mental_floss (I’ve briefly seen it before, but was a bit turned off by the too cutesy typography).
 
My Favorite is Readers Digest, mainly for the jokes. I have almost every National Geographic from 1967 to 1983, And I read car magazines in stores (Wal-Wart) or in businesses.

Not to brag, lol, but all my subs are free ones that go way past 2012. Haha. I get OPM, CGW, EGM, GamePro, Tips & Tricks, Import Tuner, Honda Tuning, Super Street, Sport Compact Car, PC Magazine, Computer Shopper, and a bunch of trade magazines that make are somewhat interesting.
 
Since recently purchasing the latest issue of F1 Racing (August 06 Issue), there was an interesting article on the possibility of FA rejoining Renault next year! That would surely be interesting! Leaving Ron with no top driver, even more interesting! All will be revealed in time I guess, will just have to wait patiently to see! Michael would suit Mclaren overalls but not as much as Ferrari ones though :)

Also, a 13 page write up of Nico?? Thats cool and all but 13 pages? Since I started reading these magazines (01), I don't think I have seen this before! And I am not talking little bits here and there on pages scattered throughout the mag, I am talking 13 pages in a row, complete full pages! Well ok 10 pages then, the other 3 are full page photo's of him! Ok again, it is called 'The Long Interview', it is new to me :D Nothing against Nico btw!

I have a subscription to Top Gear magazine.
I got it as a christmas pressie from my sister-in-law. Just goes to show not all in laws are bad.
 
I read Drift Battle, MOTOR and Riptide. Riptide being a bodyboarding magazine. I'm not subscribed to any yet, my Drift Battle one ran out.

I used to buy Drift Battle, MOTOR, Riptide, Autosalon, High Performance Imports and Fast Fours but that got a little pricey...

Well - PB has been through a lot of restructuring, as I'm sure you know, but I actually think they're getting back on par with the old PB.. With that said, nothing will ever be on par with a magazine that has Ronnie Smith on board...

Another thing is, For the first time ever, I think Fast Bikes is starting to be a real competitor to PB - Sad as it may seem to an old PB junkie, I'm not sure that's really such a bad thing afterall.... Their last two issues has been really really good !.... Pick 'em up - help save the planet :D
 
I have subscriptions to The New Yorker, Consumer Reports, and Time. My brother gets ESPN magazine and Sports Illustrated but I never read them consistantly. And whenever I can, I like to read Car and Driver.
 
I personally subscribe to and read Car and Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend, Automobile, Popular Mechanics (getting bored of that one), and Natioanl Geographic (probably the best magazine on earth, just in general professionalism and all that I'm-better-than-you-ness.) Mom gets those dumb mags that show celebrities and how much better they are than you--OK! comes to mind.
 
I occasionally get Guitar World, and Guitar Player magazines. I would subscribe to Guitar Techniques, but being an import, it's too expensive.
 
Does anybody have a digital subscription to a normally-print magazine? (E.g., Car and Driver.) Once I’m on a broadband connection, I’d like to consider switching to a digital subscription (don’t have to worry about where to store your back issues, fires/earthquakes, have every issue on your laptop anywhere you go, plus instant searching), but I’d like to hear others’ experiences with digital, especially with the Zinio Reader software.
 
Between my wife and I, we have subs to Comsumer Reports, Newsweek, Readers Digest, Smithsonian, Parents, Redbook and Glamour. I might be missing a few, but that's most of them.

We signed up for a 1 year membership to consumerreports.org for $12. I've used it a few times here at work for the boss and co-workers. Granted that magazine is different from most, as there aren't all that many articles to read, mostly ratings and descriptions.
 
I usually read F1Racing, Autosport and Official Playstation 2.

F1Racing is for all my F1 needs, gets me through the month, I'll probably subscribe with them in the near future.

Yep that was an awesome interview, said some very interesting comments in there.

Then I buy Autosport to keep up to date with everything outside of F1 such as GP2, IRL and ChampCars. OPS2 I only buy when it seems like a good issue, I'm not totally dependant on it.
 
Wait... "daddies?" But if they have two daddies they wouldn't be getting those magazines.



Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all night.
 
Eleven-fifty-one p.m. and I'm still at work so this is what you get:

is correct. Multiple daddies for multiple people, not multiple daddies for you.

And yes, I know you were kidding, as am I.
