I have allways seen it as being a bit too much of an excersise in poetry rather than factual stuff.
Hmm, Blake* or Byron* vs. Haynes manual writers? I know which I'd enjoy reading the most.
*Yeah, i do realise that we're a long way from bike mags but i'm just going with the metaphor okay?
I found the climbing article mercilessly dull, not as bad as the pedal cars one but there you go. There'll always be some noise and some signal. On the whole, all things considered, Mercury in retrograde, ST is the best of the bunch. And they don't have that much SS stuff anymore, that novelty tie containership sailed a while ago ;-p
