Fast Fours Online Petition

[Fast Fours Petition]

Hello All,

This may come across as a little crazy but i'm sure there has to be a few chook cooker fans around these parts and this isn't only about rotaries, it's about the general content that Fast Fours magazine publishes today.

Many of you will agree that over the past few years Fast Fours magazine has gone downhill. The magazine is full of advertisements and usually, crap cars. Many people that i have spoken to want the magazine to go back to the way it was. Back in the old days when the cars were unique, there were less adverts and it seemed as though the editors of the magazine actually cared about the content.

We want this magazine to cater for more then just 13 year olds who have no clue about cars and that just want to see flashy paint jobs and chicks with big tits sprawled all over them.

So show your support and lets give a wake up call to Fast Fours magazine. We don't expect miracles, and we don't expect a change over night, but we expect better for our $10 every month!

Nah, the ausrotar guys feel pretty strongly about this - I think it came to a head from having a standard mazda production car on the cover. It was a fast one though!

Wouldn't be sorry to see this rice-bible die (actually, Hot4's is worse)

[silver gts-t]

unfortunately the only reason i see as good enough to make any changes to a magazine would be profit..

you can petition all you want but if the profits arnt falling then there would be no reason to change, for example.. you complain about ads but ads are the things that are making the magazine money.

the only reason why you liked fast fours back in the day is because it was focused to a younger age group, now that your older you dont like it as much.

Fortunately there are other magazines such HPI, Zoom etc that still focus alot on performance, i suggest you switch mags

this thread needs more cowbell...

edit: You might be better posting this on Ausrotary, Nissansilvia, Hot 4's etc... not that many people here would really read the magazine or care enough about it to sign the petition.

HPI for teh win!

Quote from your petition:

How many articles on old school rotors such as R100, RX2, RX3, RX4, 1300, 323's etc have there been compared to Skylines, Civics, Lancers etc?

Anything wrong with articles on Skylines? Good way to win friends on here champ

In all seriousness, I agree that there's way too much advertising in FF's, way too many ricebox's and not enough decent articles.

You want to know what I did?

I don't buy the mag anymore - quite simple really. Maybe you should consider this also.

HPI for teh win!

Bingo

[Primordial]

I've signed your petition simply because you seem to be so passionate about it, and it's only worth a minute of my time. Quite frankly though I couldn't give two shits about the mag, simply because it's been crap for years, and I gave up on it a long long time ago!

Good luck!

[Guest Mashrock]

Yeah for real the only interesting shit ever in this mag is whats going on with the wrc. and the other tiny sections of motor sport. the rest is just plastic and garbage. if i want to look at toy cars i walk outside and open my childhood toy box.

p.s. the only magazines i pick up theses days are hpi, or j tuner. they seem to be the only ones with constant decnet content.

[racsov500]

HPI = win

[Bliksem]

the only magazines i pick up theses days are hpi, or j tuner.

do explain more about J tuner pls. I have not noticed this or maybe its because my local newsagency isn't stocking it

[Guest Mashrock]

its english, but seems to have alot of articles covered by dino in japan who also seems to have articles appear in hpi.

but other than that they seem to have a nice mag. with alot ot tech alot of decent jap cars. and the like.

its pretty good.

[lingeringsoul]

J tuner seems pretty good, but I never actually bought one.....but deinitely HPI has all the goods on performance.

remember folks, DVD coming out next HPI issue

oh yeah....petition signed, definitely could use more good mags to help me survive the month
