Land Rover magazines
thermidorthelobster:
I didn't include TOR because I thought once I went outside Land Rover-specific mags, there would be a whole load of others to choose from...
laser_jock99:
All a bit Landrover orientated (strange that!) for my taste. Contary to what some people believe there's more to 4x4 than the Solihull products. TOR at least features a more balanced range of new, older and custom vehicles. Some of the other so called '4x4' mags appear to be aimed at caravan towers and new vehicles only market with very little actual offroad content.

I get all 4, been getting 'LRO' since 1990 (& got quite a few from before then)
All 'LRW's, 'LRE's' & 'LRMs'
On the whole over the past few years, 'LRM' has possibly got the best overall range of features & it's got some damn good writers
Frank Elson & Ross Floyd used to write for 'LRO' a few years ago before it was sold to the big publishers (always enjoyed Elson for almost 20years)
With their backing 'LRO' can afford to send their staff writers off on all the trips they do.
'LRW' always seems to swing along nicely whenever John Carroll's at the helm.
I remember him writing for a little title simply called '4x4' & he had the touch even then.
They ocassionally use an illustrator (Louise Limb) who, in conjunction with JC, used to do a great deal for a motorcycle magazine called 'Back Street Heroes' (I think he was the editor & still? has his chopped Harley)
'LRE' is excellent for the historical items & rarities, due to the knowledge of the editor; James Taylor

I totally acknowledge that, but the question was specifically about Land Rover magazines, not 4x4 magazines. Feel free to run a poll about other brands' magazines.
If we had an "Everything Land Rover" forum I'd have put it in there.
