Yeah C/D was the most fun of the lot.  I thought that R/T had the best technical stuff, and but I loved Peter Egan's column.  His story of driving a Frogeye from Wisconsin(?) back to Southern California was a classic.  I loved the line "65 MPH is 4000 RPM, All. Day. Long."  I also loved reading Satch Carlson and Denise McCluggage in Autoweek.  It turned out that my dad peripherally knw McCluggage when he raced MGs in the Northeast back in the 50's.
