Anybody here read Winding Road?...very high quality for a webzine...
You can't read it on the toilet, though.

i believe that website is run by David Yu who is also a member on here 
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..

so it's autojournals? that site could be good (love the idea) with some proper righters ( 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.

Harris is THE best motoring journalist of 'our' generation. even if you don't agree with hom you can't deny that he isn't 'thought provoking'.
him and goodwin are great. i don't agree with a lot of what goodwin writes but that's the point - you feel like could have a laugh discussing stuff with him...
i actually like meaden a lot more recently - the piece on Pikes peak and nurburgring were amazing...
Chris Harris rules. Mainly because he and I seem to have pretty much identical views on cars! I was pleased how closely his thoughts on the Elise SC resembled mine after I drove it. They need Chris Harris on Fifth Gear.
These e-zines really seem to be starting to crop up now.' Winding Road springs to mind and I stumbled across this while I was googling free car magazines - www.freecarmag.co.uk. Seems like it might be a kind of online Performance Car. Not much on the site at the moment though!
I suspect that as 'internet capable' devices become more and more portable, we might see more of these kinds of magazines. They'll have to be free though I reckon, I'm not sure I'd want to pay unless I was getting something in my hand.

I hear that there will be insight from Barryboys on trends in modern motoring and a special column by Chris Goffey!
... Or did I dream that?
Special editorial by William WooLlard (no cheques please) and a nicely (nob) polished performance from William Baxter. Oh yes. Motoring wittering's halcyon days... ... Or did I dream that?

Can we get P490KVP (Bennett) to be a journo on this venture? He used to do a lot with Autocar and is an opinion former.
(Mostly not to raise your kids Birmingham, but I digress

As long as he doesn't moan about 'understeer' in road cars.. (Mostly not to raise your kids Birmingham, but I digress

I was watching a clip of Mr Bennett driving a Noble and cringed when he referred to something called "Broiyyyyke foiayyyed?!"
I used to buy tons of +£4 car mags before the internet took hold of our daily lives. I'd never consider mags these days. I suspect many more people are / will be the same shortly. The future of reading material will be online and paid for by ads imho. Felling forests for mags is a bit daft anyway.

Don't let the Noble owners on here know that, they hate Phil!
