It appears we all like the same thing; not surprising given why this
list exists. But Gary's comments about car magazines made me realize
that the road tests, while interesting in the major mags, are all pretty
much the same. However, I've been noticing more and more how much I
like the columns in Road & Track. (NFI, of course)
I know the pictures you are talking about and they were really
interesting. Gary, do you keep your copies? I don't, but I'm a bit
surprised that I remembered these things you commented on.
Cheers,

I think the TR3 is the quintessential Peter Egan car, if there could be
such a thing. I think I know what you mean about Road & Track, there is
coverage of too many cars that are just not of interest to a lot of us.
I
started reading it in 1965 and I'm a creature of habit. Having said
that,
they still have a few articles in each issue I find interesting, such as
the
recent spread of color pictures Phil Hill took in the early and
mid-fifties
of the likes of Dan Gurney, Peter Collins, Mike Hawthorn and Alberto
Ascari
standing next to their Ferrari race cars. They were taken with his
Leica
and are of very high quality.
