Mad Max Car Magazine Archive

Please don't ask for copies of any of the older magazines below, I don't know of any sources to obtain them. The best place to try would obviously be the back issues department of the respective magazines. Note that I have actually tried to obtain back issues from Street Machine directly on several occasions, and have had zero success. The same goes for other people I know who have tried. If anyone does know where any of these magazines can be obtained, please let me know and I'll post it on the page.
