Fay and current Classic and Sports Car. Page 14. At least WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Shame on the magazine, lets never buy it again.

Received my copy today, I was chatting to their journalist for about 10 minutes and he was taking notes all the while, so I don't really understand how I morphed into 'Brian Talbot' other than that he was on about a trio of Talbots earlier in the article, I shall email and ask for a correction ::)

Having said that, it's not unknown for photos that I have sent in for publication in 'Viva Lancia' to appear without crediting me, & even worse, crediting my photos to someone else!

One second of poor keyboard skills at some unknown company, and I still get loads of junk mail addressed to Mrs Harvey Maycock. It grates, it really does! I'd be tempted to write and correct them, but it would only confirm that I am still at the address and encourage more.  >:(

I haven't seen the article. Did they at least get your first name right?

Might not be the journo' fault - there may be some poor work by sub-editors. Don't rush to start a "Fahrenheit 451"-style bonfire outside their offices yet...  :)

Hi Harvey,
I once made the mistake of replying to Readers Digest! took me about 20+ years to finally lose them :'(

What I also find annoying is even after you've bought a specific companys product they keep sending you information, do these people ever check their customer base ??? I doubt it.

They did manage to get my first name correct though. here's the full offending article.

I'm still waiting for the latest copy of Classic & Sports Car yet again, but while I was thumbing through a copy in Smiths, I note the offending article has been re-run with a correction, & I've got my name back ;D
