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!
