Street Machine. I used to go to Hickstead and Bromley Pageant with my Dad. I can remember being very small and going to Hellingly's Festival Of Transport and it was very, very muddy. My Dad had cars and my Stepdad has coaches. Guess it was in my blood.

I took my then friend to a show with me one day (In my Austin 1100)! He is now my Husband of 19 years and our life is revolving around our garage.

Hopefully one day our Daughter will learn to drive and get a classic.

We only really get Custom Car now. Mostly we do Rods n Sods - Our favourite online magazine :tup:

Street Machine Sept 1992 aged 13, with 5 Anglia's on the cover. Loved the mag, the cars seemed acheiveable, loved Small Talk and the style it was written in. Never really got on with CC, seemed a bit like a club magazine for the mates of the writers, too many in jokes etc.Not sure when I stopped buying mags but it was probably around the time SM went. Ironic how a magazine can shape so much of your life having sparked something in your youth ? the biggest thing I miss now though is the posters ? I had posters all over my bedroom walls of all my favourite cars out of all the mags I'd buy.

Working as a paper boy I spotted a copy of Hot Car (August?) '78 in the newsagent I worked for, bought it took it home, parents despaired. Just happened to have a picture of Atlantis Cruiser, Triumph GT6, I'd just seen it covered in cement dust and building shite a few doors from where I lived outside Swindon Town Football Club's County Ground . Anyone remember it? Also, for many years had a centrespread of Martin Bonner's '55 on my bedroom wall and later on my garage (when I'd grown up!) 'til it blew away in a storm...sigh...
