Steven, good to hear from you and thank you for your kind words. It would be wonderful to think that CCC could come back! you might be young enough to make that happen! Clive was great as a publisher and owner. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

Yes George the writing in Custom Car was actually superb. Tremendous response to this, so nice to think that there would be people prepared to support a real magazine again.

I read custom car religiously, as well as autocar, motor and car magazine. A shame the business model doesn’t work anymore, there was a lot of great writing going on

Well that struck a chord. As a graphic design student, I did work experience on Custom Car in 1986, under the great Tony Thacker. I traded my magic markers and Cowgum for a typewriter and climbed the Link House ladder to be editor of Triple C in 1995, and then eventually ended working for Clive Househam at CH Publications. It's a small world. Of all the dead car mags, Triple C is the one that I think could stage a come back in some shape or form. Or maybe that's just my rose-tinted goggles? Keep up the great work James. You've always been a great inspiration.
