About October of last year, I walked into a newsagents in Belfast Central Train Station. I noticed a magazine I'd never set eyes on before and it really caught my eye because it had an array of cars drapped over the front cover including Impreza's and Lancer's. This magazine was Evo and I have not missed an issue since. To say a car is just for getting from A to B would be in total disagreement of this publication. You'll not find a Ford Ka or a Nissan Micra in these pages. The only cars that make it in here are what are known as "Driver's Cars", cars which are literally fun and exhilerating to drive. And unlike other Car magazines I could mention, it doesn't require naked women and illegal "cruises" to sell it's copies. Neither does it contain features of some boy racer fiesta that's had so much spent on it, you could have bought a proper performance car. This one is different. It strips away all the unnecessary features of a car like economy, styling, upgrades and just focuses on the raw emotive force of driving. Now you're probably thinking, that's nonsence, how can there be a difference in cars? Cars are like films. You get a few good ones that aren't that expensive and a few bad one that are ridiculously expensive. For instance, would you rather drive for a day, if you will an Austin Allegro or a Ferrari F360 spider? Now before you point out the obvious, yes one is expensive but worth it. Now say, would you rather a 205 GTI 1.9 or Ford Capri 3.0i for a day? Both valued the same, and if you knew your cars you'd know the Capri was a poser's car with little drivebility. That's what this magazine is about. Not the cost of a car, just the sheer joy of driving it.

Back to the magazine itself, it does contain many news articles to keep you up to date on world and sport issues, new models due for release, an extensive database of all the cars, past and present they have reviewed, an update on the writer's and editor's own pride and joy's, a second hand guide devoted to a bygone car, and what the magazine got an award for, the driving tests. No, not "carry on up the street and take a left", its when the writers test drive a collection of simular cars and test them to see which is the best one. For example, the first issue I bought had 4 wheel drive cars to determine which was the best. Last issue was to find the best super car. And the finally the best thing about it is, they allow the reader his or her own opinion on whatever issue without the normal "Bog off" answer of immature magazines.

So if you are interested in cars, and more importantly driving, then look no further. If however, you like looking at cars with airfix kits stuck to them and rough women pulling up their tops, then move on please.
