My boss just came back from the UK and he brought me a few euro car mags back with him.
One of the mags is called "Performance Ford" . It's large , glossy and thick !!
There are some awesome articles on Cossie powered Escorts, Fiesta's ,Capris (euro version ) etc. One article is about Group B RS200's : 2.0 turbo engine , 750 hp/600 lb tq , 0-60 mph 2.4 secs, 0-100 mph 5.59 secs , 1/4 mile 10.43/129 mph !!!
Holy crap !!

There's lots of large colour pics, lots of very detailed tech stuff,and lots of humour too.

Another article is about a Ford club meet . There's a pic with ten blue Focus RS turbo's parked side by side :love:

I wish we had this kind of mag on this side of the pond.
The only problem is they cost about 3 times as much .
But they are so cool....

Ahh... a turbo Ford Ka !! ...........interesting.....

I think you can get most of the popular UK magazines at places like Harry's News, or even Chapters might carry them. Most of them are about $11 to $12 each plus tax.

Sometimes though the North American versions get changed..

the euro version of FHM is better than the version we get here..

Billy's news downtown gets all of the euro mags, including maxim, and fhm too. The car mags are wicked too.

That news place across from the Bay on 7th Ave (beside Speed Photo) has all sorts of magazines from the UK. I can't remember the name, might be Harry's News as someone already mentioned above.

You will be able to find Performance VW, and Performance BMW from Chapters and Billy's news

Performance Ford is not available in Calgary, but FastFord UK is available. It is actually much more informative than the Performance Ford Mag. Available at Billy's as well

Other good Euro mags are Redline and MaxPower!
