Love that magazine. The history they cover is fantastic.

I don't want to be a naysayer, but I don't think an Aussie Muscle car mag can survive without delving into the racing history - it's too closely tied. Racing is why most of the cars were built the way they were and that history is a big part of why they've reached the values they have - and above all else, there are just too few varying models to talk about month after month without it getting old, very quickly.

Yanks have it made in this regard. They have so many makes/models over so many years, you can feature a car from each of the big 3 (Mopar/GM/Ford) every monthly issue for a year, and still have not featured the same model twice.

Yeah, I acknowledge the racing history....but that other mag goes over the top....just seems that every issue I read it was more about touring cars than road cars. Stopped buying it because of that.
