I've been photographing that car for 5 years now and within 30 minutes he's outdone every one of my shots.
I'm a broken man.... :( :lol:

I'm sorely tempted to ditch C&SC & sign up to Octane on the strength of that cover.
I would. Octane is *always* fantastic. Full of glorious cars I'll never be able to buy and tales of them driving round places I'll never get to. Proper lustworthy stuff. C&SC is a bit too sensible and accessible to be mouthwatering IYSWIM.

Paul with your photographic skills how do you think I feel with my little digital when you say you are broken man? I tried 15 times to catch one of my young grandson's smiling missed it every time!

Paul Vernon is correct in saying his car and the work he did should be in a magazine. Its a fantastic looking car that would be well worth reading the story on.

Octane is much more "aspirational" than C&SC. I like it, for the same reasons Sam states.
Its less down to earth as a magazine, but usually an good read.
(I've seen it knocked for being too aspirational as well)

Just picked a copy in the works shop, great article and pics! :)

Octane is definitely aspirational, and C&SC and Classic Car very much the middle ground, with Practicle Classics sweeping up the bottom 8)

Hence Paul's car is in Octane, and mine was in Classic Car... :wink:

Indeed. Last month for example there was a full page article about Speedo trunks. Apparently the budgie smugglers are back in fashion.

It`s good to know these things.

Err sorry Paul, I don't recall giving Octane permission to feature My car!!!! Wonderful car that one, Looks far better with a healthy coating of French road dust I must say :shock: not slow either, though of course I never got out of 3rd, apart from Mulsanne (which is different officer),

Brilliant car matched only by it's owner, knights of the road.
