i assume some of you purchase either the landrover monthly or landrover world magazine? i have so far bought one of each and have found landrover monthly to be a much better buy with longer articles and more information that is not already known by most rover-fans.
what is the opinion of you all?
Samuel Hi,
I am a subscriber to all four of them and keep a full and proper archive of them since their respective first issues.
If I were to stop my subscriptions and keep paying my money for just one of them I would go for the Land Rover Enthusiast. In fact I like this magazine and the people that work for it so much that I am their correspondent for Greece (no pay, no free subscription, no benefits)
This magazine is run by the people who have originaly setup and published the first magazine exlcusively dedicated to Land Rover vehicles, LROI and after the magazine's title has been bought by a large publishing company have decided to setup their own which is LRE. I find that this is currently the one that has enthusiasts running and publishing it.
Please do not get me wrong. There are several other people who absolutely love and cherish Landies, as we do, working for the other three UK published LR magazines (LROI, LRW and LRM) but my personal choice goes to LRE.
Take care and hope this helps. Pantelis

subscribe to LRO, mainly 'cos originally I got a free head torch (and this year, they're offering a fleece as a carrot to get me to re-sub) although I find it a good enough mag.
LRE is reckoned to be the enthusiasts mag, and is run by people who jumped ship when LRO was bought out by emap, IIRC. Good mag, LRE, although I don;t get it regularly. Has well-written articles though.
Oh you've hit my weak spot there!

See you there then.
Take care Pantelis
I do not know what happens in the UK but here in Greece a very big percentage of the true LR owners (those with Defender, Disco and RaRos who take them off road) tend to be on the heavy side.
Take care Pantelis
You'll get fat!
Not good for your teeth either, unless you have false ones fitted!
I too get all of them, however I reckon that LRM is by far the 'on the
I agree with you there. I took LRO from day 1 but pulled the plug after EMAP got their grubby paws on it and only buy a copy once in a blue moon now. I don't rate the housekeeping and general managerial style of their online forum too highly either. I get a copy of LRE each month .......a benefit of being a mod on the LRE forum :-)

I subscribe to both of these. Of particular interest to me is the fact that LRE has now added a P38A to their fleet of vehicles and seems to be including more P38A content.
I bought a copy of LRM again recently and was fairly disappointed by the content.

It's to keep the weight on the axles, y'see... :-)
Tried to find your sweets, erm, sorry... Tried to find you (and your sweets) a couple of times and failed sadly. Hope you had a good show, the CT bods appeared to have had a very good time!
Not at all - some are rather fanatical which can be good and bad, really :-)

including the bloke who restored a 101, shown in one of the mags a few years back - he'd made a deliberate effort to make sure that all visible bolt-heads on the vehicle were oriented the same...

Didn't someone do a similar thing but to avoid confusion aligned the flats different, all the same, but different.
Makes you want to take a spanner to them and tweak one or two ever so slightly, a bit like unfolding all the towels on the shelves at the Ponden Mill shop.
