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. |

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. |

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) |
