Dear Readers
First of all, if you keep the Gregorian Calendar, I wish you all the best for the imminent New Year. As this is the traditional time for making promises that we are unlikely to honour, I have asked the Driven To Write staff (including myself) for their resolutions or wishes for 2015.
Simon A Kearne : I have two wishes that I repeat every year. One is that I will drink less sherry. The other is that the Lea Francis brand will return. Mercifully neither of these things ever happens.
Richard Herriott : My wishes for the New Year are to see the extermination of the false reverse rake d-pillar. I also want to see deeper side-glass on passenger cars. Finally, I would like to hope that ashtrays could once again regain their position of dominance in car interiors. If Simon is allowed to ask for Lea-Francis, I want Humber.
Sean Patrick : I have many motoring wishes, but I am resigned that few of them will ever happen. I gave up hoping for the renaissance of Citroen a long time ago. I’d like to see a more knowledgeable buying public demanding real-world cars that suit them, rather than manufacturers giving us stuff we don’t need. Fat chance. On a personal level, I must sort out the side mirrors on my SM and travel in it to Retromobile or Techno-Classic Essen – but then I’ve promised myself that for the past three years.
Eóin Vincent : I, Eoin Vincent, being of sound-(ish) mind do solemnly swear to henceforth: Ignore the subject of Jaguar during the coming year / Stop worrying and learn to love Gorden Wegener and all his works / Lose my obsession with Sergio Marchionne’s obsession with knitwear / Learn the art of brevity / Get a grip on punctuation and sentence structure / Become DriventoWriteMoreFrequently
