	...is in the shops today. Features a cheery write-up of everyone's favourite retro car show. You know the one I mean. Ex-ed Si is back with a cracking feature on the Renault 8 on the cover, I wrote a feature on a BMW diesel-powered Cortina, and there's loads of other cool stuff too. Oh, and in the Voicemail section, I tackle the thorny issue of 'what is retro?' - expect arguments.

	I haven't bought the last few, but a Renault R8 might just sway me. It was my first car, a great way to learn about lift-off oversteer, things didn't get better when my next car was a Herald.

DSC_2185 by dbizzle_, on Flickr DSC_2184 by dbizzle_, on Flickr DSC_2086 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...but couldn't find the owner, and didn't have anything on me to leave a note. I kind of forgot about it. Then Si Jackson managed to track down the owner, and found it had a rather cool story behind it!

	Picked up a copy yesterday (thanks WH Smiths!), and about half way through. Lister Jag's been giving me evil thoughts.

	Think it's the best issue of late, content is better than it has been the last few editions.

	I hope everyone enjoyed the RRGathering report in this one... featuring photographs from yours truly! I wanted to do a report with Dan that showed the camaraderie and friendship that runs underneath the Gathering, not just the normal car photographs. I thought it was a cracking issue, and that Renault 8... gorgeous!

	Didn't know this was still going. Read it a few years ago and couldn't believe how awful it was!

	Is it really necessary for magazines to print such things as 'bulkhead was moved back X inches' and 'transmission tunnel was cut out'?

	If the owner presents that kind of info, why not? On my feature last year, i had nothing to hide, but if there was, i wouldn't have told it! I rarely comment on topics about RC, but i've got a subscription for a couple of years now, and i like it! The first issues under the new publisher where a bit less good, as to be expected after a big change in a short time, but this issue you can see they've listened to the readers and made it very good again. The RRG report was great to read

	Fair point Doc, so long as the owners are aware of the implications. The other side of the coin though is that it may perpetuate the myth that's its ok for readers to carry out similar mods to their own cars without facing potential problems . . .
