Oh, you can only see them if yer registered.

There's no way I'm signing on to that even to look at those lovely Zeds! Imo its very bad news thats Zeds are appearing in Maxpower. At least not many chavs can afford to even buy skylines and Supras but its still not doing those cars any good. If chavs start buying Zeds they push a whole load of even worse maintained cars back onto the market when they realise the reality of running one. They'll buy them, thrash them, wont maintain them and then sell them cause they can't afford to fix them, and theres enough poor condition Zeds around already.

 

ps love the paint work on that top one, karl300zx

I agree Tim.

Why shouldn't our beautiful vehicles be displayed for all to adore?

I'm not a fan of the usual Max Chav $hite - but I thought you all might like to see where pics of our cars are being shown to the masses.

Its great to see the cars and all that, but I really don't want to see the Zed become well known. My personal opinion is that its better off as the not so well known almost cult car that it is. I believe things get spoiled once the masses get wind of them. I don't think its doing the jap car scene any good at all with the exposure its getting at the moment in mags like max power. When things are 'underground' they are loved by the enthusiasts, the average max-power reader is a thick boy-racer who has no interest in the technical workings of the car (just read the articles if you disagree with me). Maybe some of these kids grow up to be true enthusiasts later on, but while young they should stick to their Novas. Plus they are a little less likely to kill themselves or someone else while getting the inevitable 'lessons'.

Its all a bit of a rant but lots of things that I've done have gone this way. Surfing used to be really great when it was only a few people out in the water and all happy to see each other. Now its just crazy crowds and agro, half of these people miss the point completely. All the pub and towny boys who used to take the piss out of me for being a surfer when I was little are now in the water causing agro because its cool to be a surfer all of a sudden. This is what I see happening with the jap car scene.

Really not slagging off your post though Peach!, sorry mate just a bit of a raw nerve

Dave

Personally I have nothing against max power but it always features people with no taste, it talks shit about cars, they do NOT check their facts and the kids that it 'gets interested in cars' are the local chavs who buy a nova, speed, crash, make everyone's insurance go up and give's young drivers a bad name!

worst of all pax mower is edited in peterborough (where i live) which means we end up with a bigger number off nova / fiesta/ escort driving chavs all thinking they can impress pax and get in the comic (sorry im not going to call it a magazine). example i pull up to lights in town little tw4t in a nova sits beside me revving his engine shouting at me to race him to the next set of lights (yes i was in the zed) looked at the car max stickers all over it so i just let him go and laughed as i got to the next lights as they turned green and waved goodbye and i didnt break the speed limit once.

pmsl, thats the type of person I was thinking of! The fact that the comic encourages the no-brainer attitude makes it worse IMO as well.

You guys make me laugh, almost every last 1 of you would love to have their car in their mag or website, nowt wrong with being featured, it's an honour, dont be a sheep ;)

Nope,not me Chris. Would point blank refuse and would be pi*sed if it appeared in there too. No honour in my opinion. Those Zeds should be in Jtuner or one of the other jap mags, they are way too good for maxpower.

J Tuner are only here due to mags like Max Power and what they have done for the industry.

chris im not being a sheep i have a genuine dislike for the type of person/ driver that the comic is encouraging but the comic has provided me with parts for the zed (brakes) but i do hold them responsible for there lack of ability to see what there doing to the driving world

not a week goes past in this god forsaken city where i dont get some spotty scrote wanting to know what the car is is it faster than a cossie or do you wanna race it and imo most of them are max chavs with no clue about cars sorry for hijacking the thread but i had to have my rant

Max Power is the biggest selling car mag in the UK and pretty much a 'superbrand' - at least in terms of motoring journalism.

but i do hold them responsible for there lack of ability to see what there doing to the driving world

 

They are doing :confused:

 

Yes i agree that they should have a rethink of what goes into their mag, BUT.............. if you run your own comapny you cater for what is going to make you the most money, 18 year olds spending 30k on Saxo's is their neish and makes the publishers lots of money.

 

But they have seen the light some what and they now love their Jap cars, didnt do Macca any harm being featured did it ;)

ok im not putting anymore into this thread as i feel i may offend people if i do

 

Wont offend me bud, i'm just up for some good old fashioned debate :)

Likewise! I wish they hadn't seen the light!

 

edit!! well in that case Chris, its bound to be good for someone like yourself because the more commercialised the scene comes the better off you'll be (and the more parts will be available for us I guess). Maybe a bit of competition will make the prices we pay over here a bit more competitive as they certainly arnt competitive at the moment. On the other hand surfing equipment has gone up in price because there is such a big market now and its not just people who are dropping out and travelling the world on a a tuppence. My opinion is unchanged!

Lax Bowels!! :D

 

Gotta agree with Tim im afraid, dont get me wrong im the last person that would buy the said rag!!

 

When i was 18, it was Car and Car conversions mag!! Wack a V8 in a Chevette etc, proper, none of the, My Saxo cost £35000 and still has a stock 1100cc engine in LOL, but, what you have to think now is, a 18 year old nowadays, if he had 250bhp in a RWD lightweight car, he'd be dead in 5 mins.

 

Fair play to them thou, some of the cars they take pics of are nice :D lol
