This year's penultimate Motor Journal already hints at interesting content with its cover page. The chronology of motoring events, as well as other seemingly unrelated fields, is summarized in the first part under the established title "A Handful of Nails from the Road". On page 9, there are two optimistic hints - the editor-in-chief and the artist are rejoicing over the completed motif for the poster for the 2018 season event - Revival at the Brno Exhibition Centre, which will carry the suffix „"Festival of Speed"“ see the last page of the cover. On the same page, another artist rightly boasts of designing a poster for another important and traditional event  „"1000 Czechoslovak Miles 2018"“. A reader's inspiring memory of how bus chassis were transported for body assembly is in the "You Have a Word" column. The renowned author of several professional publications sensitively described deep professional relationship of a former excavator operator. Don't miss the touching reading! Two pages of book news are a subtle hint to choose under the Christmas tree. The well-known presenter put down the microphone and wrote down the key moments from the life of the jubilee on five pages Jan Polívka – designer and driver, whose name is synonymous with sidecars in the field, on the road and in the motocross area in Kramolín. Not even three pages were enough to present the full range of the company Renovac Kostelec nad Orlicí with a unique specialization - clutches and brakes. They produce and renovate old worn parts. The photo of the offered clutch plates for historic motorcycles gives a partial picture of the rich breadth. Aerodynamic cars of the 1930s in miniature, is the title of a double-page spread with photographs of individual types cited in professional literature as milestones in aerodynamics. Another member of the FKHV has been active for 55 years Mercedes-Benz Club of the Czech Republic. A direct participant brought the 15th annual exhibition of historic vehicles in Police nad Metují closer. On the occasion of the 19th meeting of Böhmerland motorcycle owners in Krásná Lípa, a history expert described one of the lesser-known types of father and son Liebisch. The Šumava commemorative competition was an event for witnesses and owners of competition motorcycles with a start under the castle in Strakonice. A rich history of races Zbraslav–Jíloviště with this year's 50th year, the author will commemorate it with a three-page report. The scope the Praga 500 BD motorcycle monograph is unique with the subtitle "Single-cylinder 2 x OHC by Jaroslav František Koch". From Brno to Soběšice  „"against the flow of time" is, in the traditional term, the symbolic end of the season. The restoration of trolleybus transport in Prague with a partial hint of a brief history is a revealing read. Due to their high collector value, many of us would have some of the items offered in auction halls as mere decoration. Overalls, helmets and gloves from racers, motorcycles of defunct brands whose handlebars were once used by well-known names, this is an assortment that promises a multiple investment in the future. The auction of graphic designs took place in mid-October in Prague. Buses, cars and motorcycles are a wide mosaic of types and brands from the autumn auction in Brightwells, UK.
