As a budding car enthusiast in the late 90's and early 2000's, Wheels and Motor were my look into a world that I found so fascinating. At the time, motoring magazines were basically the only place to find out about cars, no or limited internet in those days.

I have every issue of both Wheels and Motor from 2001 right through until now. I would generally read them cover to cover, especially when there was a new Falcon or Commodore on the horizon. While there was often bias to certain brands, these magazines were always enjoyable to read or just to look through.

Today, I barely take a second look after my initial flick through an issue. This is not due a lack of talent or quality on Motor's or Wheel's part, more so that I get my motoring media content elsewhere. Online and Youtube content is vast and varied and is published 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

While it's sad to see Motor cease publishing, the reality is the concept of a specialty motoring magazine is outdated.
