imho

i was hard on the mags on the early page but (to be fair) i was right to have my say as after all i am the reader.

BUT i have the latest copy of redline and i was presently supprised, i did find the car spec was informed and not just what you could see from the pics.

i also found the editorial informed if a little over designed and dis-jointed in places.

i would actually be inclined to buy the mag if what stavros says is correct. i found the lack of tits and ass to be a good decision but the "text in" pics and messages and the fills all over the place to be crap.

the main thing i felt was the clash off glossys articles wit the features. the articles blended in too much with the adds, (obvious the adds want to attract attention but this ment the ads blended into the articles and 190 pages blended into 1 long page).

in the main i was comparing j-tuner (i thought this had a good mix) with banzai (not factual enough) with japanese performance mag (nicley tech but dull cars(great, another boring scoob))

thanks to dan white from redline, you did as you promised (the DVD as well made me think as you guy more as human and people who care about the topic rather the media peeps in it for the kudos).

plus i think i have worked out the secret location
