Advantages: None

Disadvantages: too smutty

Once upon a time (quite a few years ago, i hasten to add) , I had a little fast car (Suzuki swift Gti) and blasting about in it was the major consumer of all my free time.

Now, whats that got to do with Max Power Magazine??

Well it was just for like minded people like myself, that lived, eat, slept and did other unspeakable things in the car!

The mag had great features on how to make your car faster, louder and more pleasing to the eye.
Several pages of adverts selling bits for my car were in there too, this was fantastic!

Now, maybe I have grown up a little since I got married, not sure, but I had to buy a 5 door car and one with a boot used for shopping ..... not speakers, so my days of reading Max power had become something far and few between.... until tonight!

As I wandered about the supermarket I say it there on the shelf, not noticing the price I shoved it in the trolley and carried on as normal.

When it went through the scanner at the till though it flashed up the price.....£3.75 ALMOST £4!!!!

"But" I thought to myself, if it is as good as it was all those years ago when Ford Sierra's were cool it must be worth it.

So I got it home, levered it out of its cardboard cover (this months was a special) and a huge pile of rubbish fell out!

There was a huge poster of a Renault 5 turbo, reversible to be a huge poster of a girl in a bikini!! Nice one I thought (wonder if the wife will let me put it up in the bedroom?)

Then I got the usual pile of junk mail, quickly discarded that and started to read the Magazine.

First impression I got was that they had put the wrong magazine in the box!
Naked women on almost every page!!
As for the interviews with various models, well, why????

This is a motoring magazine remember!!

Do we really need to know if 'Emma Kohl' has ever slept with anyone famous?

It
now seems that as theres a lack of 'hot hatches' to write about with Booming Systems, that Max power has resorted to selling soft porn in an attempt to make the magazine more entertaining.

I have nothing against porn when it is used correctly between consenting adults (or sad lonely men), but for me to bring a motor magazine home and my 4 year old daughter to ask why people in funny coloured cars are all naked is quite embarrasing!!

I can understand that people love thier cars and quite rightly are proud to show them off, especially after several thousand pounds spent and hours and hours work, but is the car not good enough on its own without a pair of models bum cheeks sticking out of the passenger door?

So what else do you get amidst the funny coloured motors and boobs?

Loads of adverts for wheels, exhausts ,mobile phone ring tones? ,and car radio's mmmmmmmmm well thats about all.......

but no, just flicking through it again there's something useful after all...... no sorry, it was a load of pictures of local women from Porthcall in Wales with thier boobs out and telling you thier inner most sex fantasies and how many people they have slept with!!!!!

I have to say that I feel a bit ripped off by paying almost Four Quid for this soft core porn/motor/advert magazine, I think it has lost its point somewhere along the line and no longer really is about how to make your car into a dream machine, but rather how to ogle the woman of your dreams!

So to summarise then:

Its about 70% half nude women

10% funny coloured cars


and 20% adverts for wheels, tyres and fat exhaust pipes!

I wont be buying it again as the wife saw this one and called me a perv!

I am in complete agreement with you! As a trainee girl racer, I tend to pick my way (embarassingly) through this mag, finding only a few car tips for my effort! Stick with the slightly tamer Revs, or more savoury Performance GTi if you ever feel like getting back into cars mate.
