Been reading it for a very long time. It had no real competitors. A great shame that such a large percentage of the current generation would rather read T&A magazines instead.

No real replacment , but
Yeah, but this month's has /hush/ FWD hot hatches in it! 8-o
Richard Brant raved thus:
:: last month, not to mention a race preped Volvo 240 and a V6 4x4 :: Mini, and other such crazy modifications.
Is it that black Mini with the Ford V6?

CCC became too "find an old hot hatch and go track daying" and "buy a caterham" and not enough about road cars etc.. that was its downfall.
Supposedly the builder of the original V6 mini is going for it again but
4x4 this time.MeatballTurbo raved thus:

The one I saw in Miniworld (or could have been a different Mini magazine, Rachel bought loads of 'em) a few years back was running a Granny 2.9 V6 with XR4x4 running gear. The owner said that it managed about 75 miles to the *tank* of petrol! Looking from above, the arches were so wide the car was almost square...
It *could* have been blue; it was a few years ago and I might be confusing it with a RWD Mini which had a Ford donk.

Why is CCC going out of print???
tim..
probably becaue nobody buys it any more. It's not trendy enough for the burberry boys and it's now too low brow for all the grown ups who used to buy it.
yeah - dammit. Autocar - weekly, flick through on shelf and decide which to buy. Too dear at £2.10 though.
Evo. Monthly. Great cars / reviews / photography, too dear but can't resist....
Same here, AutoCar for the reviews of the latest BMWs (and if you're lucky maybe another 500bhp Merc), followed by Evo.
I just subscribed. You get 3 issues for a quid (that's for all 3 issues, not £1 each) then the following 6 issues costs you £15.99 (about £2.70 each).

Dear god, yes. I've had a sub for over a year now. The photography in Evo is /gorgeous/ - a world away from most car mags.
Evo, Retro Car, and when it goes regular RPM.
