Morning Fran,
I'm fully aware that sometimes I go way OTT with the rose tinted glasses bit.  However Autosport is complete garbage now.  The local newstand stopped carrying it simply because it wasn't selling anymore.  Said he would be lucky to sell one copy a week.  I remember when you would have to reserve a copy becuase they would be sold out they day they arrived.  Things change, but not always for the better.

We have a couple of Le Mans virgins with us this year. I've printed off the guide and will give it to these LMV's to read as a very complete insight.
Auto Sport has had it's day.
Hail! Werner

Do you all agree that Werner should drink as much as any one man can at the Poo Bar and never have to put his hand in his pocket.

The CA guide has, by now winged its way around the world and has put CA well and truly on the Motorsport map. We all know it blew the "profesional" effort well and truly out of the water. This is all thanks to Werner and we shoud show our appreciation in the time honoured fashion by buying him as many beers as he cares to get down his neck.

Indeed.

A beer or 2 from our gang will be forthcoming. Or even a glass of pop.

I printed mine out at work, cartridges cost £220 each, but it is good and I control it

I am not going to buy the inferior version

Sounds right to me.  My mate (who writes for a living) is most impressed as are all three of us here.  Autosport guide to be ceremonially burnt on the bbq tonight.

I feel robbed - I bought it yesterday and wonder why I bothered...

Glad to see Werners guide is getting a bit of exposure elsewhere too (Pistonheads, etc...)

Well done Werner!  Smiley

Went into tescos before work on thursday, where they still had the previous weeks on the shelf. Popped in after work and still no copy. Decided sod them, knew it would be crap but it is tradition.
Not now, Werners guide was always going to be better, even down to last minute driver changes.
Superb, and have probably spent less in ink and paper than it would cost to buy the ghost of it's former self Autosport.
Thankyou Werner, now for more beer.
