smudge 1020 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Fellow 86'ers In the not too distant future, I am hoping to have a magazine feature on my GT86. I have been given a choice between a few major tuning magazines, but out of the options my 2 favourites are Banzai and Fast Car. I'm stuck between the 2, and here's why: Banzai is a great magazine focussing on the Japanese tuning market, so it's more bespoke to my car but then has less of an audience Fast Car has a much wider audience but has a perception of being a bit "chavvy" at times What would you choose given the choice?

AJ124 118 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Banzai, used to love fast car when I was about 15. Stopped reading it as I felt it a bit chavvy imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon 1357 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Banzai. Fast car only if you're having a Burberry wrap before the feature! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smudge 1020 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Why not both? Exclusive rights? No point doing both, 1 magazine won't cover what another one has already done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted June 12, 2015 Right... You media tarts. I'm going to get published in something. If nothing else I'll go and do donuts in Sainsburys. That should get me in the Macclesfield Express at least... 2 Keethos and Gringosteve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 It's a tough one because both are shocking magazines. Banzai would be more appropriate. No offence but you couldn't pay me to read those two mags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 EVO. Fast Lane before that (which dates from the 80's). I used to like Fast Car when I was 19, but people's modification stories rarely make interesting reading, particularly so when the standard of writing is often so poor and aimed at a young audience, of which I am not.

Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 Agree with Fast Car, seemed squarely aimed at chavs with its writing style. Hurt my brain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
