Ron, Bruce really takes the credit, I just write to the site! Glad you liked the article - it was hard work. It involved driving up and down about ten times for each shot and I was only doing about 10mpg due to all the thrashing about. At lunch I filled up at my local garage and borrowed their pressure washer, which promptly removed some of my Brooklands badge and part of my front number plate numerals! As the latter was "cloned" on my PC from a genuine 30's one (scanned in, altered and printed on HP photo paper) I wasn't too peeved as it gave it a more authentic look! Bruce is right about the editions I think, except the mag is now called "Classic Cars" only, after an opinion poll found people failed to recognise the "Thoroughbred" bit of the title.
