To those not embedded within the Max Power culture, its passing would hardly raise a \u2018meh\u2019, but this was a multi-million pound business with a dozen or more magazines feeding it, the largest of which was selling a quarter of a million copies per month. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hundreds of companies serviced the desires of rabid consumers. The culture was lampooned on mainstream TV by Sacha Baron Cohen\u2019s career-launching Streatham Lad. And now it isn\u2019t, and it\u2019s not easy to pinpoint why it has vanished into a puff exhaust smoke.<\/p>\n

\"Max<\/a><\/figure>\n

For a couple of years, as features editor of Max Power, I was in the middle of it. This was a time when a \u00a33500 donor hatchback could easily have \u00a320,000 spent on it. Corsas, Novas, AXs, Saxos, Renault 5 Turbos, Golfs, 205s, 306s, Polos, Escorts, Fiestas. The mundane obsessively, sometimes unsuccessfully, turned into speedbump-avoiding expressions of their young owner\u2019s peacockery.<\/p>\n

This was also a time before the world went retro and became a homogenised melted vanilla mush lit by the unblinking glow of an iPhone. The Max lads were a national tribe, instantly recognisable, not by their JD Sports attire, but by what they chose to acquire mountains of debt to drive. And they supplied their own soundtrack: the thudding bass of Ministry of Sound collections, the wastegate whistle and dump valve shoosh, the backfire pop of a 1.6-litre French hatch being foie gras force-fed more fuel than an F-14 Tomcat guzzles.<\/p>\n

\"20-1\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The defining ingredients of this oft-maligned car sub(woofer)-culture are exactly the same as 1950s Californian hot rodding, but played out in post-Thatcher urban Britain and viewed down the nose of most non-participants.<\/p>\n

In post-war California optimism, rabid expansion and a consumer-led manufacturing boom, coupled with the trickle down of a massive boom in car sales fuelled the original car culture. In the mid-late 1990s Britain, credit was readily available, car insurance not astronomical, new car-based technology affordable. As a nation we were giddily enjoying the highs of an all-too-brief boom time.<\/p>\n

There were other similarities. Both cultures, though split by\u00a0more than 40 years and 8000 miles, was street level, not driven by corporations (though they\u2019d latch on). It was working and middle-class men doing what they chose to solely to impress peers. If the cars helped drivers draw potential partners (and if I weren\u2019t so damn brow-beaten into being politically correct I\u2019d just say women, because Max culture was ravenously heterosexual) to empty trading estate car parks for nothing more than the promise of a McFlurry and countless leering up and down looks, then all the better. But that wasn\u2019t the main reason. Individuality \u2013 the kind of mass individuality that regular lads want \u2013 was what it was all about.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple_subwoofers_in_a_car_hatchback\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

While the hot rodders used any and all available technology to make their cars faster, the Max crowd embraced technology too, rather than waiting to be fed it by car manufacturers. The main magazines, Fast Car and Max Power, employed ICE editors, In-Car Entertainment specialists, to keep abreast of the endless releases of new tech. \u00a35000 \u2018installs\u2019 were so common place they wouldn\u2019t raise an eyebrow. An Astra could end up with more TV screens than a bookies, routinely showing the modifiers favourite film, The Matrix. Fit a PlayStation, like so many did, and there was one less reason to go back to your parent\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

Max Power continued to grow long after I left. The cruise culture, where a region\u2019s modified car owners would occupy a car park and hang out, do a few burn-outs, and double the local McDonald\u2019s monthly takings in a night, grew and grew. So, what happened? Young men didn\u2019t go off cars, that\u2019s for damn sure.<\/p>\n

\"big\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

An obvious answer would be fashion. This overtly ostentatious representation \u2013 loud paint, loud exhaust, loud bass, was inextricably linked with the kind of lads people were now calling chavs. This is not the place to launch into a treatise on the demonisation of the working classes, but no one wants to proudly debut their car down their local High Street only to hear calls of, Oi, Ali G, nice car!, followed by a soul-destroying forced laugh. When even Max Power painted a Vauxhall saloon in Burberry\u2019s house check and renamed it the Chavalier, it seemed that the bible was even mocking the faithful. Perhaps no one thinks of themselves of a chav, but these lads weren\u2019t stupid.<\/p>\n

\"Chav_car\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Others, who were there in the modified car\u00a0heyday, mention the current youth\u2019s obsession with gaining a body like Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s as a new outlet for their hormonal overload. And no one is going to compare you to Ali G with one of those.<\/p>\n

There are still stalwarts modifying cars, but it\u2019s far more fragmented, tiny in comparison, an older scene and not more restrained, but certainly more tasteful. And whatever the reasons, I\u2019m not losing sleep over the extinction of the Max Power lad, but I\u2019m sad that no motor culture seems to have filled the void.<\/p>\n

British roads are so much less interesting without a fossil-burning cult pushing the boundaries of taste and legality.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
