Anyone Read EVO magazine

[twobone]

Its a great british car mag. Anyways, a great editorial from Chris Harris about the car manufacturers have lost touch are are focused on speed over driving involvement.

 

I wrote this in response as a letter to the editor:

 

Chris, I couldn't agree more. Faster is not always better and I'd take it a step further. Recently, I sold my immaculate 84' Porsche Carrera (forgive me Chris!) to get even more connected with the sports car driving experience. You see, I live in Ontario, Canada; a nanny state where the fine for speeding 30mph over is a 6,200 GBP fine and a 7 day vehicle impound and license suspension. Like many of your readers, I sit behind a desk all day and have a busy family life, so when I get in my sportscar, I need maximum experience for every mile and MPH. I found my heaven in a bog standard crossflow ford powered Caterham imported from Japan. Now every moment of driving is a physical and emotional driving immersion. The engine is smoky, the gear shift and steering wheel are on the wrong side, I'm jammed into the cockpit, my head and torso are frozen, my legs and ankles are roasting and I'm going deaf. But I feel alive and it's no longer about the speed, its about the sensation.

Next (this) months issue is supposed to have a 7 Caterham comparison test. I went looking on the newsstand tonight but it doesn't seem to be here yet

Barnes & Nobles said the next issue of Evo should be on the stand on Nov. 8

I picked up the dec 10 issue on the 7th at a B&N in Iowa.

It has a white(ish) cover with the arse end of the silver Jaaaag! hybrid supercar.

Nice article on their(John Barker's) favourite 7s.

Another sorta relevant article: Atom V8 Vs. Gayyardo superleggera :leaving:
