Excellent. Do you still need feature cars?
|
|
I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

We're always looking for feature cars. Sorry if you've sent me stuff and I've lost track of it. The last couple of months have been very hectic. Anyway, your support would be very much appreciated. And if you do buy it, please let me know what you think of it. Cheers, Will Holman. will@ppcmag.co.uk

What years does the magazine cover? I seem to remember you saying it covered 80's cars, is this true? If so, would my Escort be a contender? (when it's finaly finished)

Are any of the supermarkets going to be stocking it?
Don't go near a big newsagent/magazine shop all week, but go into Sainsburys every day.

Hmm local little newsagent didn't have it,.. but I'm hoping Borders will when I go there this evening.

It should be in WH Smiths in Bristol. That's annoying. I'll get on to them.
Thanks

Don't get it at all here. Even the places that specialize in mags from across the pond. Practical Classics though. Don't understand the index

JD, it will be their first Issue Today. Retro Cars don't have an international Distribution deal yet, I imagine that Practical Performance Cars will be similar for a while (although I'm sure Will will put me right if that is a mistake), but if they are like Retro, international subscriptions may be the way forward.

You won't find PPC in supermarkets. They're crooks. They demand huge sums of money, otherwise known as bribes, to put you on their shelves. PPC is available in WH Smiths and loads of other newsagents. I suggest you subscribe!

You would say that wouldn't you Seriously though. Once I get to see a copy, I may have trouble holding my credit card back. I know of a very good independant Newsagent, who has some very obscure mags (not that kind, behave). He should have it.
