[edit] Wheels history
Wheels was not the first Australian motoring magazine. In 1946 Keith Winser started the Australian Monthly Motor Manual. The magazine went fortnightly in the early '50s and reached a peak circulation of around 35,000 in the years before the arrvial of Wheels. Motor Manual became Car Australia in (I think) 1985. Mention should also be made of Australian Motor Sports magazine, a monthly devoted to motor racing, that began in 1947 or 1948. Under News Limited ownership AMS became Australian Motor Sports and Autombiles before folding in early 1971. I know all this because I worked on AMS, Motor Manual and Wheels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.58.150 (talk) 01:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
