I've not had a chance to pick up an issue,.. I'm not sure what they printed!  ... I had a few emails with Kevin Elliot,.. I suspect it was my first email that got printed.. |

its a decent sized letter, seems like first contact. Saying the internet isnt all bad for the classic/retro/hot rod scene etc.
you should read his column ... i was shocked, especially after his comments about vw forums. He really didnt hold back!

I was going to say, but thought better of letting out the contents before publication date. I can try and find the pdf of that page if you want David

I always read editorial columns, especially in CC (it was always fun reading Tim Baggaley's devil's advocate-esque writings!) and I almost entirely agreed with Kev's words, that's why Hotwire (+myself and the other admins) try to keep things on track. ps. Public apology to David, who asked me to scan the CC letter about a week ago and I still haven't done it!  |

My comments were a little in-coherant, if I'd known they were going to be in the magazine I'd have written them better |

I take it you sent a letter in response to the editor's column about the internet being irrelevant for hot rodders etc? I wrote to him myself about that, doubt it'll get printed though, I wasn't in the best of moods at the time and it turned into a bit of a rant! ;D |
