Awesome stuff! Thanks for that - I cringe remembering all of the terrible nova based puns, novadose etc...

If it is not too cheeky, could you scan / image the cover article for the top left mag in the first photo? I love that golf!

Thanks for the memory lane trip!

Rysz.

[magnumpi]

Yeah i'll do a pic of that after my dinner ;D

[shedspeed]

Do I remember correctly, did they feature a spaceframed TVR engined Renault laguna? I'm sure it was Max power? It was a really sweet looking car....

Nice work with the scans, funny thing islike it or not the Max Power boyracer scene thing in itself is retro now. well IMO very much so. i got a stack of these mags 3 years ago off a dubber on here. takes ya right back to the 90's, doncha feel old now?!

[IDY]

It is amazing how acceptable time and rose tinted spectacles can make things

[wez]

wow - even the curse word ones have got a certain ammount of win these days.

The edition with the Pink CRX on the front in the first max power i bought, i continued to buy it for the next 5-6yr. How ashamed do i feel LOL

[Deleted]

I was more of a fast car kid my self! First one i got was one with a COssie 4x Mondeo on

[wez]

my mk1 xr2 was in fast car in 2000, well, abit of it, in the background - my claim to fame

[goochi01]

I actually think some of those look awesome!

Er, in a sort of nostalgic view of course...

That mental widebody 'tina is brilliant.

[magnumpi]

Have some more you lucky people ;D

Reanimation- Scans, no such luck, just good old pics straight from the mags lol.

As requested by Rysz















Spec sheet of above Golf

Poor Lada





Is it just me or do the Europeans have more of an eye for detail, ignoring they still like airbrushing!!









These are Dutch, circa 1995








They did love their pink/magenat didn't they?

Quick, lets build a time machine

so many of these cars that I'd happily rock today. That flourescent carlton is epic and I suddenly feel like going out and buying some 3 spokes rofl

[magnumpi]

Has anyone DVLA checked any of the plates yet?

I'd do it myself if i knew how

[escortmad79]

Can you show the feature on the Pracey Brothers Mk2 Escort Cosworth & any other mk1/2 Escorts that were featured in the early issues

[Ratchet]

Ive checked a few of the plates most seem to come up as "vehicle not in database" and the pink manta hasn't been taxed since '96 and the tiger striped mk2 hasn't been since '94 :
