I'd love to find old car mags. Either US or UK from the 80s and 90s.

Alas, I dumped all my collection of CAR (UK) years ago.  ::)

Car mags are one thing not in short supply in Australia! Of course you have to like hotted up Commodores or other V8 hoonmobiles but Facebook marketplace here is full of Street Machine and Wheels.

Can easily find em on eBay.

Digital versions online.. not so easy

I imagine theres a smaller crossover between car fans and the game magazine scanners that frequent here :)
If any wants to donate car mags to scan I'll happily do them but they would most likely end up on Archive.org instead of using up hosting space for OGM.

All this car mag talk sparked a few memories. Anyone familiar with the old UK car modded mags of yore will instantly know they would make Donald Trump blush with the whole un politically correctness of it all. Even make the old PS1 mags look like knitting circles weekly. Imagine the furore if they suddenly appeared back on the newsagents shelves?

SWAT teams smashing through the glass for roof entry, tactically rappelling down the ropes and seizing all the mags and cable tying the staff. Okay, slight exaggeration there. Maybe I played too much Splinter Cell over the years.

I have some older movie magazines like Premiere and a few Cinescape as well as SciFi magazine before they became SyFy.
