HonestJohn is no more

[RafflesNH]

Goodbye email received today from HonestJohn.co.uk to announce it has closed after 25 years and its car reviews have been incorporated into Drive.co.uk.

"Drive is a digital car marketplace backed by Volkswagen Financial Services. It brings different ways of getting on the road into one place, so you can explore your options, compare what matters and decide what works for you."

I found it a genuinely useful source of solid motoring related advice, both from the editorial staff and forumites. Another very sad day for the British motorist.

I got the email today too.

I remember reading the Honest John articles in the Saturday edition of the Daily Telegraph, in about 1993. Been very useful to me over the years; there was motoring media before the internet.
