Finding mojo in curious places...

I haven't read car magazines in ages. I occasionally buy a Custom Car or a Practical Classics when I see one and TBH they bore me and I flip through them and, well, meh

So this morning I was in Dusseldorf airport headed home and I had finished the book I'd been reading and the airport news agent has a small english language section of magazines. So I grabbed a copy of "Chevy C10 Pickups" magazine, because, well, it was there.

I'm not especially into pickups. But dang I had a really good read, I think I read every page of that and I was really into it and I felt like I wanted to go get on with my own stuff right now!

Funny how things take you, anyone else found odd sources of motivation or inspiration?

I did exactly the same thing about 10-15 years ago. Was bored with the regular UK mags I got and randomly stumbled across Powerglide magazine, a completely rad trad rodding mag in a French supermarket. For a country that had no real car modding culture at the time and strict restrictions on what they were allowed to do, it was amazing. Also helped my French no end since we have a legacy of breaking down in France in old rubbish on the way to Le Mans and after reading Powerglide I knew what all the parts of the car were in French!
