Thanks for the comments. I still write for PPC Mag, too, next issue has a Bentley Turbo R feature I did, and the one after has a big thing on my Alfa GTV V6 at the 'ring. I think my efforts will go more into work on my own magazine going forwards, though. Your backing and subscriptions are genuinely appreciated. It's a huge effort to get this thing off the ground but we're in good shape and I can't wait for the feedback on issue one - which should go live in August Launch at RRG18? It was launched, last weekend at the Morgan Factory! Happy to launch it again at RRG18!

Sounds interesting. I'd certainly buy the magazine but I never do those kickstarter things. Too complicated and modern for my tiny brain. Good luck with it all. I look forward to seeing it and hearing more about it. Well, it's here (!) I am really pleased with the quality, nice paper, heavy cover, and the pictures have come out better than I expected. I can tell you that, in no particular order, there is content on *deep breath*.... North Coast 500 by Fiat 124, Turbo'd MX5 and S2000, A bonkers dash to the Sahara desert in two knackered Dacias (I loved that trip, great pics, too), Alfa GTV, London to Brighton Mini run, Delorean 'for and against', something on driving shoes, Saab concept car, MINI Cooper Clubman review, Frontline MGB story, why not to buy a Porsche 924, a huge private collection of cars in the UK never featured before anywhere, an Austin Princess review, a fake advert for Mitsubishi featuring gay cowboys, some letters, a feature on a Concorde flight that shouldn't have happened, something about the time Lotus cars made boats, too, something about Helle Nice (strippper turned racing driver), posters from NASA, and other stuff I've forgotten.... For those that missed the KickStarter, you can order direct from the publisher here; www.performancepublishing.co.uk/mp.html

Will you be at the Classic Car show at the NEC? Come and find us in Hall 4, stand 401, where we have a competition involving an offcut of Rover Metro. No, really. Come and say hello! Here's a taster from one feature from issue two; 116 pages of meaty goodness, keeps your coat shiny and tail wagging. Buy a copy and hump a table leg today.

Is issue 2 out now? Not showing on the website.
Might be worth putting a link in your signature as well, Rich?

I expect the Google traffic monitors are baffled by the sudden huge number of searches for back issues of CB Action magazine, too
