I think I already know there is no answer to my question but I thought I'd kick up a stink anyway.
Being of meager means I do not like spending money and as such I do not buy every glossy mag on the shelf but limit myself to say 1 a month any I tend to buy the one with an article in that interests me at the time.
As I think it would be nice to build a reference library over the coming years (and I may even eblag a few oldies) I want to stick to one publication.
I have however noted that I am tending to buy more LRO's than any other flavour of mag (Too short to reach the top shelf so 4x4 stuff is as dirty as I can get at the local Post Office).
any thoughts ??
-
Now that they do the USA bit in there too....
LRM LRM LRM !!!!!!!
Lro, not bad..
LRW, falls bits and is NOT VALUE FOR MONEY
LRE...stopped buying that ages ago..boring !
Total Off Road, also rocks !!!
-
Broaden your tastes, get total off road as it really does, as said befor, rock! :D
-
Because we advertise in both mags..........LRO or LRM
-
Total Off Road! It rocks, I already converted a die hard land rover fan :)
-
LRM...& I have subscribed to TOR last week 8)
-
LRM for me :)
-
LRO for me. subscriber :wink:
-
I hedge my bets & get all 4
In fact I've been buying 'E','M' & 'E' since their respective first issues, & 'O' since about the 3rd issue.
Overall though
'LRM' has the best balance and the best columnists (Elson, Floyd & Thompson)
'LRO' has the best UK travel features, as there's a big publishing hosue budget to support it
'LRE' for the history side
'LRW' for the laning

LRO for me. subscriber :wink:
ditto and have been for a few years now. also got a great water proof coat out of them too for subscribing. Bummer I tor it the other weekend working on the disco :twisted:

Definataly TOR but out of the Lr maggs i would say LRW,although they need to get the staples sorted :? I know there is usually a pull out poster in the middle pages but it should stay attached for more than 10 minutes surely??? Plus we have got our pictures in this months LRW although i havent seen it yet?(local shop only gets 1 copy and somebody beat me too it)got to try and get one this weekend :wink:

I find TOR is the only mag worth subscribing to as each months is worth buying. I then only buy LR specific mags on contents so some months I don't buy any LR mags and some months I end up buying most of them.
It depends what your intrests are with the LR mags, certainly LRO is not aimed at readers like me and thats despite having had a public school education and daddies range rover.
Every so often LRE does a good article on a modefied LR like the TAZ 90, very informative, but the rest tends to be far too so so.
I find LRM to give the best all round balance of the LR specific mags, with LRW not to far behind on contents.
In terms physical quality on the joining LRO and LRM seem to be the best, but thats low down on my list of prioritys. The TOR mags tend to be poorly stapled, but then are the most read of my mags so will get more wear and tear.

u still got ur copy of LRW?

:) MC123, if you would like some LRO/LRE oldies, we got boxes of them in the garage.
-
We have subscriptions to LRO (Dads b-day present) and TOR (dunno, we never paid for one so not sure why it comes every month...). I've noticed LRO is aimed towards the 'My wallet's too heavy, please empty' kind of guy, whilst TOR is much more 'on a budget'. :D
Read a few LRMs too, that's a pretty bloomin good mag. :)
-
i have loads of lro from very start if any one interested for a donatin to mount vernon or simmilar please pm it would provide max brownie points with swmbo
