R&T killed itself with the new editorial staff they installed after the takeover & purge. (notice the gratuitous use of the ampersand) I’ll miss Peter Egan’s writing and most of Dennis Simanaitis’, but the rest of the new crowd can take a hike.... er, I guess that is what they will be doing.

Yes, R&T has always been a bit snooty, fawners over Teutonic iron and inflicters of Som Posey on motoring readership. But they are a whole lot better than the sophomores over at C&D.

Too bad someone can’t resurrect Sports Car Graphic.

Cars as appliances and the web have done in the mags. Sites like The Truth About Cars show a little hope.

Ah, Sports Car Graphic.

The cover of that magazine got me started with car interest in the ealy 60's with a great cover photo of a red (what else?) Ferrari Testa Rossa:  photo 1957-Ferrari-Testa-Rossa_zpsbed885af.jpg

I was smitten forever.
