January Issue

#1 Post by TerryG » Sat Nov 30, 2013 11:28 pm

Picked mine up today :)
I have to love a publication that is not afraid to contradict itself. Page 29: a letter describing a (12 year old) Jag S type as a classic bargain :S, Page 34, John Simister explaining why the modern S-type will never be a classic.
As an added bonus for us gents, Katharine England is very pretty.

Speaking of Austins, I have been looking at vids on British Leyland in general lately on various things and there is alot of interesting stuff.You probably have seen some or all of these before.

The "Quality Connection" one in particular is shocking when you think about it,even if it is in drama form.

An added bonus for me is I used to take those roads to and from work most days when I lived in Lancs.
