Classics monthly

Postby Brianc » 03 Jul 2017 12:35

From time to time i buy the classic car magazines, especially if the promise features on the tr7.

And so it was that i bought the above magazine, with the promise of 'triumph tr7 faqs' - not sure if its old age but i cant find said feature????

Anyone else?

Hi Brian
No, it's not an age thing :D the so called articles are on page 115 and 116 on the right hand side of the page, I must admit it took me about three attemps to find them.
Once I had read it I thought well that was a waste of time and effort to find it!!!!!!
Cheers

Same with myself, very disappointed. Also it seemed to be just random facts rather that FAQ's.

It is a shame that the article was so small that it took a bit to find it. I always look for pieces on our cars, but don't find much. Still the ugly duckling saga??? Not in my eyes though.

C'est la vie!
Went throughout similar episodes with kit car magazines a few years ago - same old stuff re hashed
It turned out there was only 2,guys filling s whole magazine when tackled about it at a show they asked if I would be willing to feed them articles!!
I concluded that they survive by people taking out subscriptions and not bothering to read half the mag. Putting together detailed articles about specific cars in the style of Classic Ford takes time and costs money!
I joined our local motor club which is very active in most branches of motorsport and they produce a monthly newsletter which features readers dream garage lists analysis of current trends in the car industry as well as accounts of the tribulations of running classic cars, with 600 members and s thriving local annual show it meets most of my needs so I tend to avoid the glossy mags in the shops
BTW the newsletter comes via e mail so I am happy to forward it to anyone who's interested
Near Penrith and the Lake District :)
