Terry puts a lot of work into Slot. I am sure he isn't doing it for nothing and the magazine certainly boosts the slot car brands that Gaugemaster distribute (his main job).
There was a lot of excitement when ADH Publishing added Slot to their range of hobby magazines. However, ADH went bankrupt, owing significant amounts of money to individuals and businesses in the slot car community, including the previous editor. The owner immediately relaunched many of his ADH titles under a new company Doolittle Media and approached plenty of people to become the new editor of Slot.
I'm sure this sort of thing happens all the time in business circles - but it's understandable that there's still some bad feeling around the magazine. Not with Terry, but with the publisher. I enjoy popping into WH Smiths and flicking through the magazine but I still can't bring myself to put £5.50 in the coffers of Doolittle Media.
