Some might know that I often contribute to various magazines, and my blog has quite a good following, too, I am happy to say. Following an agreement with an established publisher, I am taking my twaddle to print. MotorPunk magazine will be a quarterly publication, roughly 100 pages long, perfect bound and full of slightly left-of-centre stuff about cool, quick and quirky cars, interesting engineering, and suchlike. It goes without saying that there'll be Morgan content. Those who have seen my blog will know what to expect, but on a grander scale, fewer typos and prettier pictures. I hope. MMC are helping us to get this off the ground by hosting our launch event, there's a lot more info on the KickStarter page which you can find here; https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bod...e-published-qua , maybe you'd like to get involved. Maybe not. Is this brave, or stupid? I guess we'll find out. Your thoughts would be appreciated!

I'm definitely interested. I really enjoyed your books, especially 'Nothing handles Like a Rental Car'. Top stuff, I wish you well.

Having gone through a similar thought process leading up to my recent book, my advice would be just jump in and see what happens. How many books and magazines were never written by playing safe I wonder?

Left of centre? Does that mean an anti-clarkson writing about economic friendly personal transport made using recycled latte cups? :-D

Sounds as if it could be fun and amusing, like Car used to be back 50 years ago.... Go for it and well done MMC for getting involved!
