Brandon,
I'm a fan of Classic Motorsports.....but Hemmings Sports & Exotic (which,
apparently, I cannot get at any local news-stand) will be featuring my '62
DKW in a future "Drivable Dream" article (which was shot at last year's
Import-Kit/Replicar Show in Carlisle, PA)......so I'll agree with your
recommendation and advise everybody to get that ;-)
But seriously, the few issues I have seen have had a considerable coverage
of some cars I didn't know existed. The two Associate Editors I met from
Hemmings - Dave LaChance and Mark McCourt - were what I would consider "free
agent" car enthusiasts....they had done some research, asked tons of
questions and took tons of pictures. They understand that a classic car
should be appreciated not just for it's appearance, but in the role it was
intended for....driving. I hope that Santa will leave me a Hemmings S&E
subscription under the tree.
Cheers!
