FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

The Editor - enjoying a Monaro CV8!

Stephen Walker - Editor
road testing a Holden Monaro CV8 series III

Location: Hunter Region Botanic Gardens, NSW

Friends,

We enjoyed a lovely picnic, last Sunday, with members of Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club who had a Club Run from Tuncurry to Motto Farm. It's easy to see why folks can be passionate about their cars. There were some great cars attending. Great owners, too, I might add! But it is a problem being older than every car on dislpay. There was a time when the cars were older than me. Today, it's the other way around though!

Plenty of news again and a road test on one of the newer cars to arrive in Australia.

Warm regards,
Stephen Walker

    EDITOR'S
    PICK OF THE WEEK

    After reading the news of the week, which story did you enjoy the most?   For me it was MG's announcement of a limited supply of just 30 MG TF coupes. The world needs specialist niche players, such as MG, so car consumers can be provided with just the right car. MG fits the bill perfectly, as the TF is well worthy of it's place in the automotive world ..... more
