Hot VW's or VW Trends

I have 10 years worth of VW Trends in the bookshelf here, and I've been pleased with them. A little for everyone, but doesn't go to extreme lenghts for just one narrow audience. There are featured, loooong, multi-part articles on some more complicated rebuilds and such, that span a few issues each. They give excellent detail info, especially if you go to their website to see the material that was left out of the printed magazine due to space limitations. Their website is like an addendum or extension to the magazines.

I can't say anything about HotVW's, haven't seen them sold here and I only need one mag subscription from overseas..

Personally, I like VW Trends. Seems to have more substance to it.

Justin,

I used to get both magazines but have decided to let the subscription on HotVW's run out. I find VW Trends to be a better magazine. I'm sure you will enjoy it more too. HotVW's is a good magazine, don't get me wrong, but if you want just one of the 2 then go with Trends.

I think HVW's has more technical articles IMO... I get both. VWT is cheaper.

I agree. There was the time when I felt that both mags were on a slow roll into mediocrity. Although VWT appears to have pulled out of that nose dive and has started back doing some decent tech articles.

I think Hot VWs is geared more toward what you're interested in.

I liked VWT better for many years, probably mostly because it's the one that I found first and read for a couple of years before I found HVWs. But for the last few years I've thought that HVWs was the better magazine, especially since Kaferdave moved over there. Minor point, but the writing and proofreading seems to be much better at HVWs too.

I've got about 10-12 year's worth of each magazine stored but I recently let both subscriptions run out, each for different reasons.

we know the reason...because you won that free subscription to ramva...LOL J

after a number of trys to get a copy of Trends with my 64 in it failed I let the subscription go, and Hot VW sent me a card thanking me for renewing my subscriptions then waiting 3 months to send out the next issue got them dropped. Not to say I haven't bought both magazines from the newsstand, I will renew both but first I have to figure what to do with stacks of past years

Buyer pays shipping.

Reasonable offers will be considered.

Any takers? This is no joke. :)

I'll give ya $5 shipped?? This is no joke :)

I wonder how much 20 KG of magazines would cost to send from Europe?!? :o) LOL

Hopefully only $5! Ship it ground, and they normally have a special fee if its all paper (cus they just throw it around more....more then your engine parts)

hehehehe funny nonetheless :)

Jan

Ouch, i take that as a no, :)

It would cost way way more than $5.00 for shipping, so I think it's safe to say that's a no.

shipping from finland to chile?

.............The distribution center for Finland to Chile shipments is here at my house in upstate New York.

More than the mags are worth new :)

Jan

that may be why US-made magazines down here cost US$15 each!
