Aaah, gotta love these polls, book me in for a sleepless night...
The problem that I personally have is that the subject means a hell of a lot to me, it's something that i'm passionate about beyond belief - which is bad for my health in fairness. Perhaps I like it too much (recent bank statements would agree with that)
I've worked pretty much every weekend since becoming Editor and i've done it for no other reason than the fact that I love what I do. I could send freelancers to do a lot of the shows/cars (and when i physically run out of hours in the day I do) but I like to experience it for myself and then hopefully apply my passion to the article. I take pride in getting out and meeting people and for that matter enjoy doing it. I like to see the "scene" (for want of a better word) for all that it is - if it means sitting in a car for 8 hours to experience it somewhere else, then so be it. It's not so good for my relationship with the Mrs mind you, but thankfully she is very understanding
I'm not going to bleat on about why I think Retro is better, it wont really achieve anything.
If you like it, buy it, if you don't, don't.
For those that have talked about articles that have appeared in both mags, it's a fair comment but unfortunately it's going to happen. But as has been mentioned on another forum, i think we both manage to go about it in different ways and from different angles.
Having two mags only serves to enrich the "scene" further, which in my eyes is only a good thing. It inspires people to get out there and have fun, to go to shows and to perhaps motivate them into finishing off that project in the garage. And after all is said and done that is the most important thing and, magazines aside, what we are all in it for.
