The August 2003 issue of new motoring magazine, Octane, has just hit the shops. The publication is devoted to classic sports and racing cars, with features on the beasts themselves and their drivers.

This second issue includes a nice two-page feature and interview with Nick Mason. It concentrates on his "Favourite Things", which include racing (obviously), cooking, and his own spec drum sticks ("I'm sure there are plenty of drummers who can make a set of sticks last for a few concerts but with me it gets a bit Robin Hood, with shards of wood flying around")!

If you experience difficulties in finding a copy of issue 2, please call +44 (0)1733 392894, and they should be able to sort you out a copy.
