For some bizarre reason issue 110 arrived in Scotland at 8.00am this morning :o. Never before have I ever received my copy this quickly. Another brilliant issue as expected with something for everyone. Great periods front cover picture Chris. The following Powerdrive feature is brilliant and I fear I will have to put pen to paper and write a follow up saga of my very original 7K from new Powerdrive and the ex. Groomfondle/ex. Dave Hambelton Powerdrive that I acquired back in 2004 to help with the restoration of Ivan Robinsons example which had some of the aluminium body stolen for scrap.
Have read through it before I went to work. Nipped home at 10 to read more and had finished it off at lunchtime. Notable articles are Lord Cyphus's Messerschmitt 175 write up, young Jamie's on going restoration of the Reliant Melford road sweeper, review of the NMCR and Rumcars openday not to mention all the Register pages.
Keep up the good work.

wheres mine :'(

Got mine as well today. Very fast transport indeed ;)
-
Got mine too. Looks like a good un! Was there a problem with the printer though on the Rumcars open day pictures? ;D ;D Sorry Chris, couldnt resist. I know it was an attempt at an Edwardian style report with sepia pics. It didnt work for me. Congrats on another superb issue though. I will devour it tonight.

wheres mine :'(
Did you remember to pay your subs Richard? I seems odd that Ferdi in Germany got his before you have.

Dear Bob
Thank you for your constructive critiscism
The Sepia Images were not as good as I had hoped simply as converting from colour to sepia has less contrast that B&W to sepia. You live and Learn. Still early days as an Editor.

Hi Chris. I did wonder. If thre images had come out a little sharper with better contrast it would have work. Still it doesnt detract from a truely cracking issue. Keep it up please!
-
got it - perhaps i sent my cheque late eh bob ? seems a good un .
havent i seen pics recently of a very nice Coronet - where was that ?
-
Just recieved my copy (only checked the post tonight). Haven't read it yet, just about to, but already the cover is nice, never seen that pic of the PD before!
-
my pet subject AGAIN . spelling - a brief scan through the very interesting magazine has mentions of "Nick Geogano" and "Goran Hellsin" these are surely wrong and we should get names correct. (sorry Goran i cant figure out how to do umlaut's , which may be as bad )
-
The odd dropped letter in a name is a small price to pay for a top notch microcar mag though surely Richard?
-
ok but names - is it mistyping or ignorance Bo :)

Dear Malcolm
Well Spotted. Spelling peoples names wrong is unforgiveable, Wrist Duly slapped. I promise I will get them right next time
At least nobody has noticed the pagination error.

I have been so busy recently I have not even had time to open the envelope, let alone knowtiss enny speling missteaks; I WILL find them and the pagination errors.
However I will be much more interested in having a damn good read!
