I AM not a street machiner; I like Toyotas. Yes, some people really do appreciate the simple, clear lines of a 2000-model Camry sedan, and how advanced the Echo really was.

OH, WHAT A FEELING
I started buying this magazine back when it was Van Wheels. What I appreciated then were the photographs - how they showed the engineering and reflected the sheer level of detail that the owners put into making the small bits right. The artistry of it all.
Looking through the September issue, it occurred to me that you still have it. You haven't lost it; you haven't changed it. Nathan Jacobs's shots of the HR ute (pictured) - the blood and sweat the builder must have gone through to get all of those small bits right, and you showed it. You put that on display; not just the big noisy thing up front.
