Setright (O he of immortal memory) would no doubt have said it in Latin if it were one of his. George Bishop it was, I believe, in a column bemoaning the then 'new generation' of motoring journalists. "They ought to belong to the Guild of Muttering Rotters, not the Guild of Motoring Writers." How sadly ironic given the current parlous state of Car Magazine. I bought a copy on a recent trip back to the UK, not having read it for some years. Granted, the likes of LJKS, Bishop, Llewellin, Bulgin are long gone, but even those who replaced them seem to have fallen by the wayside (Jamie Kitson's columns used to be faintly amusing; Steven Bayley's design articles were interesting; last issue's were juvenile by comparison).
