Over the last few editions, for me, there seems to be a dip in interest generally. I'm also skipping certain pages especially those containing Jethro Bovingdons very drab and boring reviews-stroke-features. The only decent writers on the mag are Henry Catchpole, Harry Metcalfe and Nick Trott. For me, Henry Catchpole stand's out with his excellent road trip encounters, and more recently, the hidden writing talents of Nick Trott.

Is it time for them to bring in fresh writing talent? (maybe re-hire Chris Harris?)

Bored, love the mag?

Over to you...

Is that you Monkey? biggrin
I wish I was...laugh What a hoot of a job he has. I'm sure we'd all love to get up in the morning to go and drive cars everyday, and get paid quite handsomely for it, too.

By the way, several points have been made about the poor content of EVO recently. They seemed to have moved away from what "the thrill of driving" defines.

Here's an idea; Perhaps PistonHeads should release their own magazine? At least those who are part of the PistonHeads community understand what makes a pertolhead tick, whatever your interests are. There are thousands of us on here that could contribute and really make it happen, don't you think?

I guess it's all about "passion". If you're passionate that comes across. And EVO just aren't quite there at the moment.

PistonHeads magazine anyone?

Can't be that difficult, can it?scratchchin
