I saw this mentioned a few times in Clarksons latest book and decided to have a look. The few articles/blogs on there are pretty good, but it doesn't seem very active and the attached forum is all but dead. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it just getting started or just dieing out?

not looked recenelty but it has been around for years

It's very old. It's a shame it died off as some of the content was (is) superb!
One of my favourites was the David Coulthard plate.

Never seen this before! Reading the eddie jordan thing from last year...

Its been going for more than 5 years - used to be a very regular (once a month) single page thing, which was hilarious. Thing is the guy who writes it has begun to get quite involved in the motoring press so I gather has less time than normal for it.

The archives are well worth a read.

Yup. Monthly updates happen every 2.5 months. Still a good read, though I did point out to them that the caps on the Schumacher brothers need to be swapped over on the next edition

It's written by Richard Porter, who now also writes for Evo mag and Top Gear

The site isn't very active, although the writer keeps promising that he'll start updating monthly again.

You can follow him on Twitter - http://twitter.com/sniffpetrol. He's far more active there, especially during F1 GP weekends and F1 launches.
