I'm another who misses Speed, but have since moved on to HPI and I've gotta say that I'm liking it. I always thought it was a little too expensive in the past (yeah I know that it's only $1 more expensive than Speed was) but since they are giving bonus mags with every issue I couldn't say no and now I'm hooked. Didn't know that they were giving away different combinations of free mags though! I'll have to look harder next time. Every now and then I'll also buy Autosalon but haven't in ages.

I used to have a sub to Speed and would buy HPI and Motor every now and then.

Now read HPI on and off and subed to Motor.

Although it was said that Speed's committment was invested into 2DMAX, I have never bought it. I looked one and though it was rubbish. I wounder how many people there were like me?

I think we can all agree that 2DMAX is rubbish, haven't met anyone on these forums or otherwise that actually likes it. I wonder where they got their market research from that made the publishers believe that 2DMAX would sell better than Speed? Maybe they thought there was already enough serious/dedicated motoring magazines around (like Motor) so they got rid of Speed and tried make a mag that would appeal to a younger/more casual audience?

I know that some people found that Speed was more than a little up themselves and that the technical content was sometimes rubbish but it surely was still better than 2DMAX.
