here's an idea then, something that may not be new but may be possible

ff runs from an office with lots of other car mags yes? they do tests which may also work for us, although not exactly the same

so could you not poach ideas from them?

or, as (i think) revs used to do, one of the products that were "new" that month were put on test the same month for a "first out of the box" type review?
