I am inclined to agree with many of the comments. The modern magazines such
as R&T, Automobile, etc write very 'fluffy" articles of little or no
substance and certainly no crititism. They cater for the masses.
My favorite reads are Classic & Sports Car, Motor Sport and "The Automobile"
from UK which deals with pre-WWII and just after autos. Otherwise the
individual car club's magazines such as Bugantics and the Riley Register
Bulletin have a very high technical standard. The Morganeer has some way to
go in that respect. What about more technical articles.
