Magazine road tests.??

[Big Dave]

Hi folks.
Does anybody have a definative list of all the Trophy magazine road tests, / articles.
Ie issue numbers, or months..

Im having a massive clear out of old magazines, and wouldnt want to chuck out some "special" ones.

Mags that are going out are,,,

Car and Car conversions,,, yes were going back a few decades....
Practical performance car
Heaps of Porsche mags, ie
GT purely Porsche,
911 Porsche world,
Among others.......

Most of my Porsche Post mags have already bitten the recyling bin....

I have a lot of EVO mags from issue ONE onwards. Up till around 8 years ago.... Not sure what to do with them,,,,,,,, yet.

I just dont read them anymore, most if not all the info ill ever need is online nowadays...

Thanks...

I'll have a look through the ones I have later on, not the definitive selection by any means, but it could be a start.

Used to love C & CC back in the day, think there's probably a collection of those still in my Mothers loft!

Issue 128 - Time To Buy Your Dream

RUSH 002

Issue 002 of the completely free car magazine. Highlights include a deep dive, 5,000 word feature on the rampant BMW M3 CSL, a road test of the iconic Subaru Impreza P1, two candidates for the great hot hatch of all time in the Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy & Mini GP1, and a philosophical musing...

Has anyone got the part numbers for the 172 Cup thinner lightweight glass, or is it just another self perpetuating myth?

I think our red rockets are going to be featured this month in Evo...

My subscriber copy popped onto the doormat a few days ago, I'd better open it and see....

Edited to add:

Afirmative. The Trophy features in their 25 Most Significant Drivers Cars, nice to know our little cars are still held in such high regard, and although slightly biased, not without good reason.

Is it featured much?

places 6 to 25 get a page each. Trophy in at 16 and Megane R26.R in at 5 the highest fwd car

Sounds like this is going to be a cracking edition of Evo.

Look forward to getting a copy in 2/3 weeks when it lands on the shelves over here.

Then it will be onto Autotrader to see how much scrimping is required to get my arse into one of the cars listed

Great write up! And accurate, from one of my favourite writers and podcasters.

Anyone else listen to Smith and Sniff?
