Hello, Haymarket :wavey:

[tubbystu]

So, the (allegedly) premier motoring site in the UK, owned now by a major UK publishing house.

Originally a TVR site.

The founder of TVR dies this morning and nothing, NOTHING apart from an RIP thread in the TVR gassing forum.

No mention on the TVR news page, let alone - god forbid - on the homepage.

C'mon guys wakey, wakey.

R.I.P Mr Wilkinson.

Personally, i think it's appauling. Never mind what he had to do with this site, he is a massive part of British motoring history, having started a story which i for one, very much hope isn't finished yet. The lack of any mention in GG or P&P is to be honest, very disappointing.


R.I.P TreVoR

That's bad news. I rely on PH for my motoring news. That is pretty poor considering where PH started.

RIP Trevor.

Would never happened in Teds day.

[grumpy]

A sad day indeed. Always been a TVR fan.

[SS HSV]

Out of interest I cannot find Petrol Ted in the search engine or am I doing something wrong?

Edited to add:

Ah, got it. Theres no space inbetween the two words...

I know i'm not one of the old guard but the least haymarket could have done was be aware of the sites roots and respected its history.

RIP.

[Mannginger]

Woops - Didn't see this thread. I'll delete mine which was saying the exact same thing.

Come on PH, this should have been top of the news stories yesterday.

RIP

[oggs]

Bad form indeed

[anonymous-user]

Aren't posters free to start topics on it in any forums?

I know I'm as happy as the next bloke to blame haymarket for everything wrong with the world but we the users make the content.

Agreed that the news page should have something.

RIP trevor though.

Exactly what he said ^^^

[tim the pool man]

I read about His passing on another site, and came straight to PH expecting to read a fitting obituary on the front page.

[BJG1]

still nowt, pretty piss-poor, especially given the absolute dross we have to put up with most of the time in the articles.

[Morningside]

I agree. I only found out via the BBC website and found the thread in the TVR section (Not even on the TVR news section!), I honestly expected a HUGE article on the main page.
Very disappointing.

Oh great, now they decide to bury it in the backwater that is website feedback, pah.

Don't move it do something about it.

Call yourself a motoring news site.

T*ssers.
