The Road Rat Issue 8 is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Award-winning writer Jamie Kitman spent three months interviewing dozens for his profile of Elon Musk. Plus why everyone wants a bit of the Ferrari 250 SWB. And… 70 years of Toyota Land Cruisers, the bizarre tale of Nissan’s ‘Frontzilla’ Le Mans car, Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, faded old French garages, ’50s advertising and when ‘boxy’ was sexy. Free sticker set allows you to censor strong language on cover.
The Road Rat Magazine is the world’s most beautiful car magazine. It is a new kind of car magazine. Not overly obsessed with the detail of old cars nor over-impressed with the performance of new; the magazine instead firmly believes there are good stories — real stories, stories to consume with relish — in both old and new and in racing too. But above all The Road Rat believes in the glory of magazines; lush, beautiful, valuable, collectable and exquisitely crafted magazines. Think of us as a carefully-curated bookshop or an horizon-widening record store. We are proudly analogue and believe some things – but mostly beautiful cars – just belong in print. Our name comes from a saying that climbers have. ’Feeding the Rat’ is the need to deal with an obesssive need to climb. For us an open road, a track, a messy old garage and not a snowy mountain summit, is our ‘rat’.
