I didn't (knowingly) write anything directly for the mag.
Speedy pm'd me a few times wanting to make sure he had his facts as straight he could before he submitted some stuff and was kinda enough to stick my name on the bit he sent. I only found out after it had all been sent to the mag my name had been involved too.
I think it says a huge amount for all involved (I guess that is Harry who I don't know and Speedy?) that for the first time since the Autocar articles of the early 80's we have a piece that has very little misleading/downgrading/just plain wrong ness. Good research was carried out and the final article shows that.

Re: Retro cars
I just saw Chris' name at the top and decided not to read any further...

I'm joking, of course, and certainly didn't mean to do any pot stirring. Well, I'm teasing Chris, but aside from that...
cheers
