:( What a waste of a magazine Hot 4's is these days. Has anyone else wasted $10 on the current issue with the so called 'new' and 'improved' look? [pffft]

Out of 147 pages it only had 5 feature cars in it!!! Out of the feature stories I couldnt bring myself to read half of the bullshit in them... the way its written and structured is farkd... and I seem to be getting the impression its gone all 'cake boy' and 'wannabe gangsta' Americanised bullshit. No disrespect to our US members intended of course, its the Aussie boys being 'try hards' and trying to capitalise on the 'gangsta' cliche and its just not working lol :lol:

Years ago you could pick up the magazine with less than half the thickness it is now but get double the feature cars, a good read, and some good moneys worth. But these days, expecially the latest June edition, its just not about the cars anymore therefore IMO doesnt deserve the name anymore. I'm never buying another Hot 4's magazine ever again.

Oh, and the new Hot4's website just lost its ".com.au" status and has since dropped the ".au" off it. See here: http://hot4s.com/ :evil: :thumbsdown:

Oh hell no!, even Vanilla Ice, the biggest 'Cake Boy' of them gets a photo on the new website!! It says "This is what happens when you sell out!"... well Hot4's, you should put your own picture in there instead :evil:

Haven't read hot 4's for a while now, along the same reasons you listed. It's a joke. Fast fours is following suit unfortunetly
 
same here - epic fail reading for the types of epic fail humans that were in that epic fail herald sun article the other day.
 
lol speak of the devil as i posted this i got a email saying they had lost my contacts and still want to feature the car

and yes they asked me ages ago rob but it never happened......
 
Lol.. Hot4's lost me ages ago!

Fast Fours or Zoom (now known as BOOST) is the way....

Even the AUTOSALON mag isn't that bad!
 
I bought Hot4's from the newsagent at the hospital when my wife was in labour - I figured it would help pass the time reading up on the features whilst waiting for bub to come along. The mag had my attention with the first car but after painfully reading through the first POS story I shook my head wondering what had happened to the car mag of yesteryear. I then proceeded to flip through it shaking my head even more. What pissed me off the most was the article on getting carjacked. You know the dumb fuks had a couple of actors dressed up in black clothes jacking a car, then proceeded to market the jackers clothing under a caption called "Thieving in Style" !!! with black sunnies, hoodie, gloves and jeans. I mean WTF???? Thats a great image to portray to the young readers of today isnt it? If you cant afford it, steal it. I threw the POS mag back in the bag and gave it to my 3 year old to tear up today. What junk.

"race" has some awesome tech write ups

I gave up on hot4s/fast 4s years ago:thumbsdown:

Yeah I didnt renew my subscription this year.
I picked it up last week and saw the new cover and was like WTF!<_<

Zoom/Boost FTW.

I occasionally pick up F/F and Hot4's IF its got an Evo or GSR from one of the forum guys!:D

I miss the Hot4's from days past.

My first issue was NO.44 from 1998 and had a Silver 2L GSR with Evo kit minus the wing and I "Jizzed in my pants":drool:

Thats the issue that started my Love of GSR/EVO's!!:D

Took me 6 years till I would get my first GSR:lol:
