Yeah C/D was the most fun of the lot. I thought that R/T had the best
technical stuff, and but I loved Peter Egan's column. His story of driving a
Frogeye from Wisconsin(?) back to Southern California was a classic. I loved
the line "65 MPH is 4000 RPM, All. Day. Long." I also loved reading Satch
Carlson and Denise McCluggage in Autoweek. It turned out that my dad
peripherally knw McCluggage when he raced MGs in the Northeast back in the 50's.
