Yes - Long fingernails and Black Russian cigarettes ring a bell with anyone ?

Yeah. I can't remember what magazine he wrote for though. I think his column was called "Down the Road Apiece".

He wrote for Motorcycle Sport. Down the road apiece was Dave Minton IIRC. Setright also wrote for Motor Sport, sister mag to MCS.

Just the name brings back wonderful memories! Anyone know if he is still kicking about?

Afraid not,he's been smoking celestial sobranies since 2005. Bless him,his early stuff for MCS was LOL long long before LOL.

Didn't he write for Bike magazine (along with Royce Creasey) back in the 1970s? A.

Yes, I think he did, but he certainly wrote for MCS too. A lot of journalists wrote for several mags over the years.

Yes, mustn't forget Paul Sample's "Ogri" either..
