Oh FFS, last month it was that stupid fcuking green colour Astra this month a Kingdom Corsa.
Why can't the one and only Vauxhall performance mag be more like Performance Ford magazine, where the cars in it are in there because of power and not the size of the spoiler or the 19 inch wheels

Yeh i agree beardy i have that magazine as well,
its all gone down hill, but the performance ford, gti, bmw mags are still keeping up!
I say total vauxhall should take note, i spoke to nick about it when he was doing my feature but said we are a small minority of magazine buyers
meaning more chavs with shit cars purchase it

I stopped buying Redline about 2 years ago as that got bad.
I started buying Total Vauxhall and it looks like I will stop buying this very soon.

stoped buying TV full stop..write ups are piss poor. They spend more time talking about how a person crashed their nova which lead to them buying blah blah...
Not much about the actual car and the spec and photography is possibly the worst out there amongst all the other mags.
Best magazine out there for content IMO is performance ford...good photography, good write ups and a good tech section all which TV lacks
TBH i can understand why Max Power has gone that way as in turn they will get more money from the delinquent chavs that from real enthusiasts.

Yes, I was going to say that I might start buying Performance Ford for a good read 
I agree about TV features as well, I think the worst feature I have seen for bad pics were Miles Nova pics, terrible.

What gets mee too in Total Vauxhall...
Look at the Tech Specs in the back of last months (I've not seen this months yet...)
The Nova is listed...
Then the Corsa A (should be Corsa B)... they also list the 8v SRi with the X14XE Engine (yet they DO say it is 8v)
Corsa B is Corsa C...
bah utter pants from what it was!
And also whats said at the top, if there are any probs no point emailing us as we cant be arsed correcting them...
Poor poor show getting

i agree all the big mags are going down the pan...i buy mini mags now n then and they have loadsa hands on things...only mag i normally bother with is good old redline these days. total vauxhall is getting very pants,got some reasonable ideas, however the project cars seem to be cheap barges anyone can buy...but not insure as the engines are stoopidly large, seems to becoming a strange beardo mag with a bit of chav slapped in to try n cater for "all age groups"
id like to see guides on getting the most out of your car...what u can upgrade it with and wot rare models come with what.Maybe a good guide to do would be a front foglite wiring loom that u cud solder urself? or how to go about buying opel parts from germany, outlines on how to extract a few more horses from a car- theres plenty a mag could do...maybe f we started a list and emailed them some ideas we have had? id be willing to send it
