Post by: Wolfie on May 11, 2006, 16:45:05: Whichever one has articles that are of interest to me, so will vary. LRE at the moment as it has 3 pages on round 1 of the British Off Road Championship (http://www.offroadrally.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.offroadrally.com/borc). Current TOR might also be of interest, but I can't find a copy :cry:

Post by: Edge on May 11, 2006, 18:49:17: Ive had a go at buying various different LR mags......found LROinternational to be the most informative and caters for my Defender 90 questions better than the others.

Post by: sleeplessparadise on May 11, 2006, 19:13:09: We found TOR for the first time this week and got a copy and to be honest there wasnt much in there to interest us..............however if you are into the more challenging stuff then it is probably a really good mag for you to get. We like LRO and look for it every month, as Trug said it covers most of the green ovals and has lots of other useful info and stories in there.

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on May 11, 2006, 19:44:05: Take all 4 & have done since, showing my age now & long standing LR interest.
(Still got them all as well :oops: )

'LRO' since issue 1 (1987), but only got a full set since 1990
'LRW' since issue 1 (including the OR & 4W-D supplements/'tasters')
'LRM' since issue 2 (but got 1 afterwards)
'LRE' since issue 1

Got a few copies of 'TOR', but it wasn't always on the shelves around here.

Post by: WishIhadaLandy on May 11, 2006, 20:03:18: :shock: Thats a fair old wedge of cash BTM at 3.60 each or whatever they are now, although i guess the price wasnt always that high.

Post by: Neil Jones on May 11, 2006, 20:41:44: Used to be LROI, but now I prefer LRW, don't know why I've changed, just have. Not a fan of LRE, doesn't suit me. LRM is ok.

Post by: Old Warthog on May 11, 2006, 20:55:23: Total Off Road by choice, but since I got the Landie I think LRO is the best of the Landie mags.

Post by: Jim-Willy on May 12, 2006, 00:27:53: TOR is the best........ No contest

LRO is the best LR mag.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on May 12, 2006, 00:50:08: I regularly buy LRO and subscribe to TOR. I like the regular features in LRO and the lanes featured in both magazines.

The tech advice is always good for a laugh too, not as bad as in classic fraud though, or practical rustbuckets either.

Title: What magazine is best?
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on May 12, 2006, 11:11:49: From my observations over the years :roll:

Nowadays, 'LRM' is probably the best mixture.
Whether that's to do with the columnists (Floyd, Elson, Crowhurst, etc......) I don''t know

'LRO' has probably the best features, as it has a big publisher behind it.

LRW was the 2nd onto the market & is fairly consistent, though has stopped some good regular columns
('Northern Notions' has made a bit of a comeback though, & Louise Limbs atricles were always welcome)

'LRE' is spot on for the historical aspect.

I know we all think there's too many adverts in the press, but it keeps the prices down & pays for the journalists to write their articles

Post by: Bill jones on May 12, 2006, 22:37:51: I subscribe to LRO & LRW. Proberbly would have to say LRO is best over all and seems more relevant to my disco, but I like LRW and the clasics section by John Smith eg Series One's. Never tried LRE or LRM but do find the others over time seem to cover similar topics if from a different angle sometimes so keep thinking of just buying one a month and save a few pennies.
