Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)

Vicki Butler-Henderson used to be a staff writer on Practical, before she found fame and fortune as a presenter on BBC's Top Gear TV series. She wasn't bad at the classic journo lark, but I always thought that she looked a little taller on the telly.

What happened to VBH's MK1 Cortina GT staff car though?

Now there's any idea... :D I have to say that, although I know I'm in a minority what with being a girl and being able to do more than point at a car and go "oooh, isn't it shiny, I like the colour" ( :roll: ), it would be nice to see a woman's perspective on the cars in print occasionally.

Oh, and as for being the fairer sex, the boys that I share a workshop may not agree with that particular description, particularly if I have a torque wrench in my hand at the time... ;)

Amy.
I do apologise for that Amy, I should have said the smarter sex :oops: ;) .Do you work in a garage? If you do, you are brave :shock:

Apology accepted most gracefully :)

I don't work in a garage, no, but I do spend a lot of hours in our workshop with up to four blokes. I'd say they behave themselves, but... :roll:

I'd like to see some real, proper knowledgable skilled classic car fans back at the magazine, not overly ambitious know-nothing career journos!

Yes, I think we have got that particular message... :roll: We also realise that you don't want to see any Metros, Maestros, Eastern European cars... the list goes on...

Now Amy - When was the last time I did not agree with you - especially while you were holding your new shiny torque wrench - (well it was you that did not want blood on the wrench) - but I do agree that a womans positive prospective of classics would be good to find in the mags.
