Default EVO readers - question.........

This month, in Fleet Cars, they have a new contributor.

He's just bought a Carrera GT, and sent it back to have the bodywork peeled off, and resprayed a custom colour

His name is Paul Bailey - is it Paul Bailey of Bailey motorsport?

I would't think there is THAT much money to be made in aluminium tanks for cars, dump valves and para gliding engines!

You don't think so? I used to deal with them in my old old job.

Bailey's turnover must be enormous! There will be a fortune in cornering the market like they did for years........

Suppose that highlights the difference between buying a supercar and running one!

Great mag I have subscribed for years-sorry but not a fan of the yellow Carrera-saw one in Beverly Hills when they first came out and it looked :gayflag: I would have kept it silver myself-but then I dont have truck loads of cash causing an inferno in my pocket

After i read one copy of EVO, i stopped buying any other mags*!

*Obviously that excludes "Women Only" and "Gaymen Weekly" - I couldn't exist without them .

Lucky bastard...

I only discovered EVO when it was already in the third year.
Have them since number 28 and would love to get my hands on some older issues (not necessarily all) but they're not available anymore...
