David E. Davis has died

Share this page

I understood that he thought that he was the best journalist
out there.Car&Driver was a good magazine in the '60's,when he was at
the helm.
I met him while he was running the California Mille a few years
back.

David E was a character. I have to say I enjoyed most (but not all) of his writing.

I actually started reading <span style="font-style: italic">Sports Car Illustrated </span>(which turned into <span style="font-style: italic">Car & Driver</span>).

Back in the 60s and 70s, C&D was a neat magazine, with Jean Shepard, Warren Weith, Dick Smothers, Gordon Jennings, PJ O'Rourke and of course, Brock Yates.

It was an <span style="text-decoration: underline">interesting</span> magazine.

These days, it's only fit for use at the bottom of a bird cage.

By the way, I'm guessing many of you know that these days, Brock Yates writes a column in <span style="font-style: italic">Vintage Motorsports </span>magazine.
In a recent column, he announced that he has Alzheimer's disease and would probably not be able to continue much longer. :frown:
 
He was indeed a character, I enjoyed reading his stuff, even
when I just shuck my head...
Sorry to hear......

WOW! Bet that hurt!
 
*GROAN*

And S.C.I. was a good pub. Not so much after it became C&D.
 
Sad to think that C&D,& Motor Trend aren't worth the paper that
they're printed on.I throw the subscription "specials" into the recycle-
bin.
I'm sure they will go away - but they deserve to.
