About

A Unique Mix of Citizen Journalist's Zine and Social Community
Road Passion is a citizen's journalism site, where the reporting is generated by it's free members, a member of the Zines Onlinecommunity of zines/social communities. We also post road tests, reviews and news from our team of journalists.


Mission

At Road Passion, we are all car mad, road addicted and in love with the drive. For three years, thousands of you visited our old site for the latest road tests and automotive news. Now, we've moved, and a lot has changed!

A Social Community of Roadies

We are now also a social community of roadies. (No, not band roadies—the real roadies, the one's who love the open road.)

To our thousands of visitors and subscribers, thank you for following us to our new combined online magazine and social community—a place for people who are roadies—people who love the smell of a little burnt rubber, a hot tar road on a summer's day, the feel of the wind in hair in a top-down car, the lurch of a dropped clutch, the thrill of a power slide!  And pretty well anything with rubber on rims.

To new visitors, welcome! Buckle up for some serious lateral g's.

The New Road Passion
At the new Road Passion, our correspondents will continue to contribute excellent road tests and features. Our passion for the automobile is undiminished by high gas prices and spiralling insurance rates!
