Congrats to Steve Hole for producing an excellent, interesting, informative and well put together magazine.

I feel it is let down in one area, which after his comments about 'filler' etc, I did not expect. That is around half dozen adverts that have been badly scanned in. However this doesn't distract from an excellent publication.

The kit list is something I've been looking to see for ages. At last someone has had the bottle to tell everyone the difference between the kit price and how much a realistic build cost is. The nice thing is that by listing the factory build cost aswell you get an idea of where a well finished car will fit (cost wise).

Interesting with all the talk about BMW based Cobra's recently that another company (L&B Cars) is listed. Their 'Anaconda' based on a 5-series BMW will be brought in from Belgium.

Oh! nearly forgot. There's also an article on the Marlin 5Exi. Not a bad car by all accounts. Martin Foster (the writer) does criticise it in one particular area though. No I don't mean that, his criticism is fair.

I'm only a little way through it but have to agree it looks good so far! The guide is very good giving those prices, but you missed the other BMW based Cobra. Roman kitcars do a 289 replica.
Shall we play spot the donor as a new game?!!

Need to go to work, but want to carry on reading....
