Peter C is right; Hemmings Sports & Exotics is a very nice publication,
and I was glad to see ol' Satch back in print. He really wrote some
great stuff for AW, up until the time he suddenly disappeared from their
pages. I really enjoyed the article he wrote about meeting & drinking a
lot of "plonk" with Erik Carlsson.
I don't know if any of the rumors I heard about his, uh, abrupt
departure from AW are true, but AW began to turn to crap the day Leon
Mandel and his crew walked in the door.
The only thing I don't like about Hemmings is that they tend to make
some really dumb, factual errors (I noticed a few "gems" in the recent
article on Porsche 356s), which serve to warn me not to automatically
accept what they say about other cars I have little actual knowledge of.

Is he still writing from the Great White North! I gave up my
subscription to
Autoweek after he, uh *left* the magazine. I think I'll have to buzz
down to
the book/periodical store (actually named Bottle & Book!) and pick up a
copy
of Sports and Exotic Car!

Somewhat unrelatedly, you DO know Satch is writing for the Hemmings
magazine Sports and Exotic Car?
GREAT magazine, btw.
