I do remember a certain green BBS'd Euro MKIII Escort gracing the front cover in the early Max Power, Matthew Howell managed to sell a feature on his Twink'd Skoda to them too at one stage.
I think there's a lot more goodies to be found in the pre-girlie Fast Car mags though.

Can't remeber any specifics, but MP in the old days actually used to talk a bit about real tuning, as well as styling and ICE. And I'm sure for a while, wasn't VBH the editor?

I talked to someone once who had a black Rapid that was featureed in Max Power (possibily on the cover), it was black, with a multitude of spots...and had numerous Skoda rally spec engines, a lancia twin cam, and even a Delta Intergrale engine! he still had the car and was selling it when i spoke to him. I've never really read either magazine so can't really comment on them...

I have a maxpower article at home that is a 205, with full escort costworth running gear, and its a van! Fast and cool J I remember that one well. It was a REALLY high quality conversion, & very very fast. OBV it was swathed in silver / gre / mirror tiger stripes (were these evAr cool?).... it recently came up on eBay... maybe a little frayed around the edges but still a tidy car. I talked to someone once who had a black Rapid that was featureed in M*x P*w*r (possibily on the cover), it was black, with a multitude of spots...and had numerous Skoda rally spec engines, a lancia twin cam, and even a Delta Intergrale engine! he still had the car and was selling it when i spoke to him. I've never really read either magazine so can't really comment on them... I know the one you mean. He put it up for sale once (in about '96), when I think it was lancia powered. It was in the classifieds for months, and I worked my butt off all summer to try & afford it but the £3 an hour or whatever it was I got paid was never gonna be enough.

Funny, I always liked the idea of doing a correct touring car rep on a 155, I bloody still love 155s!
However, that one, with it's oodles of body roll, compared to a BTCC car anyway, and its tiddly wheels, doesn't quite do it, shame.
And when I say proper, I mean it, I am pretty sure Derek Warwick's car wouldn't have had a stereo in it! :/
