Wow just got this months/next months issue as im a fellow subscriber and wow what a bunch of shit feature cars. Surely there has got to be better than most of these about? Looks like they've just thrown anything in to me. Also the poster pages are the wrong way round in mine  Ones 2 pages and then theres on half and another half the wrong way like 3 pages later.
or is it just me?

Yes I feel the same, but the same happened last year where for a couple of issues they were shit cars, then they went good again so hopefully it'll only be the couple of issues this year aswell, also the poster pages seem abit over the place in mine aswell.

If theres no decent cars to feature, what are they supposed to do?
Also, what do you mean by shit? I haven't seen the mag, so have no idea if they're actually shit cars or just an acquired taste.

Vxr, vxr another vxr, corsa vxr, astra Sri.... Ect just all look the same.
They need to make the amount of cars less but features longer.

When I bought it years ago I was only interested in the old cars they featured. Corsas never interested me as I saw them on here all the time lol.

Think I'd be more worried about the scene than the quality of the coverage.

Agreed.
This and to be honest in this issue the one semi decent car in there is an vxr
Theres a corsa c in there that looks awful with a messy xe thrown in thats on some throttle bodies and some cheap reps for wheels, a monaro with carbon fibre stuck on, the vxr, and old cav with a let in which is fairly decent to be fair.
But honestly see hundreds of better vauxhalls on facebook and on here that would probably get rejected as feature worthy

Why do you think they would be rejected?

The majority of "feature worthy" cars have had alot of money spent on them, well refined or something out of the ordinary otherwise we would all have feature worthy cars

this is why the ford scene is miles better. weather its classic retro stuff or modern stuff. the mags, shows and scene is much more broader compared to Vauxhall stuff . cant wait to sell my corsa!

Theres a corsa c in there that looks awful with a messy xe thrown in thats on some throttle bodies well, Carbs and 188bhp, in an uncommon coversion and some cheap reps for wheels, a monaro with custom, real carbon fibre parts fitted instead of original trims, with a 671bhp Supercharger conversion, the vxr stripped, caged, individual detail touches and 470bhp, a Mk2 cav with a let in which is fairly decent to be fair.
But honestly see hundreds of better vauxhalls on facebook and on here that would probably get rejected as feature worthy

Fixed to give others a little more info...
Not a huge amount of Supercharged Monaro VXRs about. Less than LET Corsas etc.
Nova Convertible, with LET
A rather uncommon XE Conversion on a Corsa
Oh, and a counter rant from the Editor making comments about the people that complain about what they feature, like this thread.

After mentioning in your first post this months issue was full of a bunch of shit feature cars, everyone's open to their opinion I just got the feeling that people's main gripe is that the magazine is very similar each month Vxr Vxr Vxr etc I thought mine was different but it's been branded as shit lol

I haven't seen this months issue yet but I di agree they need more tech info and longer features with more detail.
they did say years back that they wanted progress features on home builds and such like. I offered several times with engine rebuilds, how to's on cam timing, engine swaps, the corsa c z22se conversion but they never got back to me. took over 2 years of messaging ect to get the x20xev corsa b in the mag.

I for one am looking forward to this months, just to read about Tom's cav.
I find the features are usually pretty good tbh.
