I hadn't read the magazine 'Road & Track' really since I was a kid, but my wife got me a free subscription last Christmas and I have to say it's better than it ever was even without regular Peter Egan editorials. One of the very few magazines I read from cover to cover and always come away impressed. So if like me you'd been away for a long time, maybe it's time to get reacquainted. I think you'll be happy you did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)

as a long time subscriber, i have to respectfully disagree.

it looks and feels (and often reads) like a fashion magazine now. not to say there aren't some good articles but, i'm not sure if i'll renew.

not to resurrect an old thread, and out of respect to the o.p., i must eat a bit of crow...

the last few issues have been pretty darn good! the current issue has a nice shot of the new cayman gt4 on it's cover and a good article within. i also really dug the article on "king of the hammers" race in the mojave.

nice to have you back, road & track! glad i didn't follow through on my threat not to re-subscribe...

I get and read Road & Track and agree it's changed but feel it's still worth the low subscription cost.

I also get Panorama and the cost is Membership in PCA, which I like very much being part of. The Photograph in Panorama is incredible.

The other Magazine which I think fills the void is Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car. I enjoy David LaChance, Editor, reminds me a lot some of Peter Egan.

Front Porch. Rocking Chair, Cigar and a cold beverage is where I read, weather permitting.

Funny, you and I have the exact same subscription list. The only difference is that I prefer the back patio in a hanging chair and no cigar, but I might give that a shot and see if it enhances the experience! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
