Team-BHP saving my money on Auto magazine

satish_appasani · 13th September 2004, 20:49

For the past 11 years I have been buying and reading Auto mags every month. But after I found team-bhp, so far I haven't bought a single copy. The news is already there on the site and the cover stories doesn't interest me anymore.

Thanks to all the guys.

Oh hell! Don't worry we are still gonna be free for u guys. Lol. Thanx Satish, it really goes to show that we have been able to live up to the quality that acts as a substitute for a good car mag.

We are honoured!

Well indeed, a magazine is indeed a dead mass, Team BHP is lively, as its a real time offer for a lifetime for free.

wischvuanaudh · 22nd February 2008, 22:26

really guys, i stopped spending my money on new magazines after getting into team bhp. But i still take up old magazines from the near by book-stall for dirt cheap price. lol. hehe. Not to read, because as aadix said,just cant stop it. and theres no visible piece of wall in my room because its coverd with posters.. hehe

Shan2nu · 23rd February 2008, 01:33

but dont you sometimes wish you never stumbled up on team-bhp.addiction.com ;-) esp the married ones?

josepeter · 14th February 2009, 21:36

Reduced my monthly magazine craving from 4 to one. Just can't resist ACI on the stands! But finish with the mag in under an hour; the excitement is waning for sure!

abhinav.gupta88 · 14th February 2009, 22:17

I just have my subscription of autocar and auto bild ( 3 years each).
No more buying of magazines.

Cheers to Team-bhp.

Almost the same story here too Satish. I used to read/buy Auto. mags since their arrival in India, later restricted to Autocar & occasionally Overdrive. But lately after being active on T-Bhp, mags. really don't interest me. Most of the information/news is available on T-Bhp. Used to an avid reader/buyer of ACI, even joined their own forum, but the callous/lousy atitude there coupled with great T-Bhp, encouraged me to shy away from Autocar mag. too now.
