I only became aware of this today as I opened up this month's edition of Evo and noted the absence from the credits of two of its stalwart contributors, Richard Meaden and Jethro Bovingdon.

A quick Google reveals that they have joined a new online-only publication along with Chris Harris from Autocar. A very quick skim through shows it's not fully active yet but for anyone who enjoys Evo, it may be worth a look in due course.

(Let's hope that they manage to leave behind the occasionally self-congratulatory and a-bit-up-their-own-arse note that had begun to infect some of their Evo articles over the past year or so....)

.... and don't cover the site with Shell adverts.

(I haven't bought Evo since that edition)

This is our microsite, a prologue version of the full web experience which is currently in build.
This was enough for me to stop reading immediately, toss-speak.

Some hope.

Chris Harris did some good web videos though (EDIT, like this RS6 review). Hopefully he won't get infected with the EGO virus and write self-congratulatory toss like the other two.

Can't see what's particularly revolutionary about the site though.
