Editorial
We get some strange e-mails here at CPR Towers . Quite a few are from people saying their password no longer works ( please read the e-mails we send out folks !), but every so often , one of them asks one of those really deep and meaningful questions . Take the recent message we got from Rob Sinclair in Northampton for example , who asked : “ What are you ?” That ’ s an odd question , we pondered , but it got us thinking . Classic , Performance & Retro is a free digital car magazine . It is a little different from the rest because we cover such a wide range of cars . How best to describe that range is tricky , but basically , if its old , looks cool , goes fast , or is just great fun to drive , then chances are we will feature it . What you wont see in this magazine are ‘ shopping cars ,’ ‘ rep mobiles ’ or ‘ hot hatches .’ As for our content , well that ’ s different too . We are big fans of classic , historic and sports car racing , so whether its a Ferrari 458 blasting down the Mulsanne Straight in Le Mans , or an MGB at Silverstone , we ’ ll include them too . We like car shows as well , simply because they are current , provide a great opportunity to see some great machinery and hopefully they inspire people to get their own classic or sports car out and use it . We can confidently say that we produce bigger and better event reports that any other UK magazine , so it you want to know about car shows , this is the place to find them ! So what about cars features ? Well , we could run articles comparing the MGB to the TR6 , or ‘ buying guides ’ covering all the popular classics , but lets face it , they have been done a million times before by all the printed magazines . We like to think we are just a little bit different ! Yes , we still do features on individual cars , but we like to concentrate on the experience of ownership rather than churn out endless road tests . So basically , to answer Rob ’ s question , Classic , Performance & Retro is a free digital magazine for car enthusiasts with a large dollop of historic , and sometimes modern , motorsport stirred in . We hope our coverage of shows and events gives you ideas of where you can go to for a great day out , and also gives you an insight into how the classic car scene is right now . Of course , if there is anything you would particularly like to see in the magazine , just drop us a line to info @ cprmag . com and we will see what we can do . No promises ... but if you don ’ t ask , you don ’ t get !
Drive safe !
