As a response to the 'Top Gear' threads:

Setright, of course.
Russell Bulgin.
Kevin Ash.
Brecon Quaddy.
Phil Llewellyn.
George Bishop.
Rupert Paul.
Hugo Wilson.

'Car' & 'Bike' magazine use to be so good. The best writing anywhere on the planet for the dedicated petrolhead.

Intelligent, erudite prose for those not completely obsessed by looks & horsepower.

Roland Barthes essay on the DS probably takes the top prize, but Llewellyn's visit to the Battle of Britain airfields in homage to his father's memory is a very close second.

Any more?

Actually I think James May is the best motoring journo I came across. But then I stopped reading car mags a long time ago.

His Telegraph stuff is fine.

Bit reactionary though, isn't it?
Yes, I'm fully aware of the implicit irony in that statement. 🙂

I like Evo magazine, fairly well written but then there are only so many articles about Audi R8 and M3's you can take

I just like looking at the pretty pictures now

Try 'Classic & Sportscar':
Simon Taylor is always worth reading - missed him off the initial list. Sorry.

Beat me to it. The look on his face when he drove the Huayara with the traction-control off.... 😆

His dry, no-nonsense approach is spot-on.
