Firstly, with regard to the 'real story' behind Dave and Nick leaving at the same time, I know there are a few dark rumours floating about the place but I can assure you that all the ones I've heard so far have been rubbish. There really is nothing more to it than meets the eye. For starters, I think both had been doing PF for five years and wanted to try doing something different. Dave was offered a pretty cool job and decided to take the opportunity while he could, and a couple of months afterwards, Nick decided he'd been in the game too long and wanted to go and do something else too. I know my telling you this probably won't change hard-held beliefs, but we don't really have such thing as a corporate line at PF; both guys are still doing some freelance work for both PF and RF so there's been no falling out or discord, and I think it's fair to say that we still have a good working relationship with both of them.

Micky, glad you like Beat the ST, but I'm puzzled as to why you think it's gone - it's one of our favourite features too, it's still alive and well, and even features in the current issue. Enjoy!

Morph, we do speak as we find, and I think it's fair to say that if we do find a duff product which doesn't cut the mustard, we won't try to hide that. Of course, that said, much of what you can buy for your car aftermarket will bring an improvement, and as Chip suggested, we'll only try and review the good stuff, the stuff that you might be interested in buying, so it's not often we come across a duff product. However, the one thing I will say is to keep an eye out for more side-by-side product tests which will give you a better idea of how we rate each product against its competitors.
