The Book?

I subscribed to the magazine, and was assured that Mr Bayley's book would be fothcoming, even though I was in Australia. I have yet to receive it and I was just wondering whether I am unique in being an overseas subscriber who has yet to have it arive, or whether they just haven't made it down here yet. Another possibility is that perhaps Stephen has been writing sleeve notes especially for me, considering my close ties with CAR and relentless dedication to the forum (ahem).

Has anybody else received their copy yet?

Another one bites the dust

Reading the report on the Sema show in the latest edition, was interested in the mention made of a company called PML who were exibiting an all electric F150 with motors in each wheel totalling 500bhp.They also  mentioned that they have a similarly equipped mini running at Lotus at the moment, so i thought it would be interesting to see how the installation stacked up against the BMW mini...Onto their site then, and there are several small vids, one with a VOLVO,wiith its small latest technology battery pack taking up a small amount of room in the boot, so its ...

Can i look forward to a subscriber only special - i doubt that very much. Looks like i'll have ...

November edition

The November edition marks a continued upswing in the re-readability of Car. (I´ll still be looking at this edition in 2014.) The graphics are looking much tidier and I shall heap extra praise (from my can of pre-whipped flattery) upon the Infiniti article for both form and content. The photos were superb and very smartly laid out and accompanied a refreshing and vigorous slab of text. The Nanjin MG story also caught my eye for its lush photos by Mr Fagelson and the well-tailored accompanying story. It was as good an article as one would find in 1995, which is a nice circumstance. I notice Greg Fountan, a former Car editor, has been unlocked from cryogenic suspension and ...

Paris review by Stephen Bayley

As the online discussion is mainly driven by the aesthetic component of the Paris show, would it be possible for a Mr. Bayley to offer his opinions on the show cars? It need not be in depth for the online version but a detailed essay in print would be a fantastic variation to the road test, new model review format CAR uses. He is indeed an asset, and someone who writes with a sublime combination of authority and artistic rigour. Any opportunity to read his musings is one I relish and I think he should be regularly sent (well, offered to be ...
