Congratulations to Iain Kelly who has scored the job of editor at Motor magazine

Hmmm, might actually buy an Australian car mag if Motor is doing stuff like this.

I bought Wheels once whilst shopping, bought it as they had the new falcodore on the cover. Geez, a two page spread of a year 12's drawing of what they thought it should look like. It burnt me and I've never bought an Aussie mag since.

Marv, I heard a rumour Aussie jurnos are respected over seas. For example, Augus at Motortrend. Is there a case for you working as a local correspondent?

If you knew P.Cockburn-esquire, then you'd know he wouldn't lower himself to doing such a thing.

Could he update his wardrobe....he has been wearing the same jacket for sometime now

Didn't he invent the Dolphin torch ?

[brasher]

he was the industrial designer for it. Guy is awesome and has so many stories. His house is full of these cool creations and obscure prototypes he has created over the years.

[tipper]

Well done. I buy Motor every month and have for maybe 10 years.

So he's like a talented Billzilla?

[Stang]

There are rumours he has just patented the formula for automotive chemtrails. All the driving around is just a cover story.

They've got some stiff competition with the pommys...

Here's Clarkson getting mobbed by a bunch of greasy native wogs in Italy last month for his upcoming Xmas DVD.

He's not a motoring journo.

[Itsamario]

He's not a motoring journo.

So then if writing columns in the motoring magazine 'Top Gear' doesn't make you a motoring journo, then in your mind what does?


The bastard has his fingers in so many pies and wears so many different hats whilst living it up must piss off those journos stuck behind a desk.

Also his proper journo articles in 'The Times' are rip snorting good.

Just take my money!

[TJ Shermuz]

i sometimes buy wheels or motor because they have the cool thing in the back that shows what all the cars are worth in different trims.

but one of them now has them divided up into stupid categorys, and doesn't have all the different trims

[my limp penis]

I still reckon being stuck behind a desk writing shit about cars would be a pretty cool job....

Clarkson does let his opinions into his stories, but who cares, it's entertaining, if I want facts I'll read a specs sheet.

I'd still kill to have his job, that'd be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Just saw the new edition of Motor at the Servo.
Much smaller dimensions than the old mag.
Didnt get a chance to read anything as ill get the online version like usual.
Why is it smaller?
Cheaper to produce i guess?

[Captain_Slow]

Grabbed it a day or two ago. Good mix of stories in there and I like the new layout.

Minor gripe: new body text font is just a little hard to read.

[BigMuz]

Iain is a tremendous fellow. HTH
