Agree will miss him, he added a lot to EVO, the only mag I subscribe to.

All was all down to Harry that EVO happened...Performance Car went ton the wall and there was a big gap as the other mags were rubbish at the time......So out came EVO with Harry's money...Plus the very first issue had a Maserati 3200 on the front......Remember seeing it on the shelve and being drawn to it. Bought everyone since.

A mate of mine was the Publisher at Evo. He was in it from the start and collected a decent amount when they sold to Dennis. He's the reason I have a free lifetime subscription!

It was a good shift selling when they did given the reduced interest in printed media. The content of the mag has gone downhill mind, I've just finished one issue and have two more ready to read now often skipping pages when i never used to.

Simply writing about more and more very expensive - and often not contempory - cars and giving them all five star ratings tells us nothing, especially when Octane is meant to fill that gap. I've flicked at CAR magazine in the reading room that is WH Smith and it seems to have improved a huge amount.

Think he has sold his GranTurismo too. Do a search for M 4 SER and it comes back as now on retention.
