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

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).
yikes

Gawd.

Haymarket own this gaff...

Countdown to thread lockage.... biggrin

That brings a whole new meaning to the term "logging on" wink
Uses a very special sort of screen scraping technology.

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...

This is a 'new' venture and nothing to do with any other publication, but you'll see that very clearly for yourselves in due time.

Just one rule, Steve, NO DIESELS!

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 biggrin)

hehe

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