Nice article, James, and thanks for posting the link, Dave. I'm sure that
some of you saw the comparison article on the Roadster in Hemming's Sports
and Exotics. I subscribed even before then, but was a bit disappointed in
that article and in the feature they did on the JDM Bluebird (510) coupe.
Neither were as detailed as I would have liked, although we all must admit
to more than just a little prejudice, and I would expect that any cars they
feature would be given the once over for routine maintenance items and those
things fixed before testing. I also feel that Hemmings, like Tim Suddard's
Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorcars, has a definite "European is
better" bias, at least as far as the older stuff is concerned. I dropped my
subscriptions to the latter two and will wait and see which way Hemmings
goes.
FWIW,
Ron
