Heard a rumour that a member here has looped these three journos together to form an internet based motoring mag? Sounds pretty serious, and that is a Stellar writer lineup (even if one needs a shave).

Anyone know if it is true? I bet Evo and Autocar are miffed if it is.

Details! We need details! biggrin

Cool. All it needs is a quality photographer wink I quite like Catchpole's writing too, but Harris & Meaden would be a great partnership.

66% line-up not too bad!

i like proper print media.. but i like how Harris is making sure he's at the 'cutting edge' with his videos etc..

I like Jethro's writing. He likes E36 M3s, so he is a proper chap.

I do hope that the new venture isn't sponsored by Weissach? hehe

Does anyone know if it is true? Can't see them leaving such safe jobs on Evo, and Autocar will be poorer for not having its Taliban reporter...

It appears that might not be the right Harris.

Google? Pah!

harris isn't an employee of haymarket though is he? He's a contributor i thought, ergo 'self-employed' same as goodwin and frankel (which is why they all right for other publications).

You can't read it on the toilet, though.

Harris seems like a good bloke, and quite a driver.

I reckon he's gunning for a TV career.

i believe that website is run by David Yu who is also a member on here smile
he owns that very sweet black 'vette and was an evo contributer for a long time too back in the day (still is occasionally iirc)....... i loved his 355 spider...my favourite colour combo too....! i used to enjoy David's write ups and have to say i enjoy reading Meaden and Harris's respective works too. Bovingdon has his moments but i dont mind or dislike him.... i think its Kudos to David if its true..
