    Hemmings Sports and Exotic - Sad news

    Today when i opened my newest issue of HS&E i was saddened to see that it would also be my last. It is without question the best classic car magazine I've ever read. You may recall they did a nice piece on the DeLorean back in 2010. Normally when a magazine covers the DeLorean, I pick it up for my collection. With HS&E however, I just had to subscribe. It was a breath of fresh air to finally find a classic car magazine that gave every car a fair and in-depth review instead of writing off all these wonderfully bizarre, esoteric cars as "crap" because they didn't perform like a corvette. The writers clearly loved their work, loved meeting the owners and driving the cars. From MG's and Triumphs to Datsuns, Saabs, Tatras and DeLoreans, there was never any shortage of rare or interesting cars to read about. I'm very sorry to see this magazine go.

    Ah. That's what I get for not visiting the forum as much as I used to. That would have softened the blow.

    That was one of two magazines I always read from cover to cover. The other is Porsche EXCELLENCE, another fine magazine although it has become mostly ads so they must be making money. We'll just have to wait and see how the replacement goes.
