He is the Retro Rides Person of 2004 of that there is no doubt. The founding editor of Retro Cars Magazine, he is pretty much responsible for unifying a whole set of people.
So in honor of his upcoming award, we're going to ask him some questions.

not just on retro cars but any mag you've been part of,
did you ever drive a car on a test, having not driven it before, then go out and buy one?

Couple of questions asked of Nick Mason that I thought were pretty good, so I'll reuse them here :
Whats the fastest you've gone in a car?
You only have £1,000 to spend on a car, what do you get?
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
do you ever think of using your influence within the car communities politically?
If you have what would you try to make happen?

The workers revolutionary car club! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Alright, my question is... Do you think the classic car community is being singled out and mistreated by the government?I'd think that he'd have more insight than a lot of us since he's no doubt been involved with bringing us a lot of the news stories that concern us through working with Retro Cars and other mags, so he might have a good view of the situation. |

I hope I'm not too late!
You have to buy a NEW car...what do you choose?
When you started Retro Cars, were you sure there would be enough interest to sustain the sales you needed?
Which of these two magazines fits your personal tastes best: Classic and Sportscar or Custom Car?
What are you getting for Christmas?
Do you get get a free subscription to Retro Cars?

Simon Woolley... Please can you confirm that you are a 205 owning (?) magazine editor from somwhere(?), and not the same person as Forum good-egg, and slammed cressy owner, the Dartford(ish) dwelling RMad. It would appear that some forum members are a little confused as to your (and t'other Simon's) identity.  |
