Anyone else recieve a free copy of KitCar today?

[eliot]

So anyways - had quite a nice "free" read for the last couple of hours, only to find on the last few pages (marketplace, p14,15 & 23) it still carries adverts taking a snipe at DT - so nothing has changed then..

I will continue my subs to PPC thank-you.

Yes I've subscribed to PPC because I was fed up with the apparently low maturity level shown by the 2 main kit car mags. TotalKitCar was pretty good though.

Also I was a bit bored of reading about the latest in the endless line of Cobra replicas - PPC is far more interesting.

I'd always wondered what happened to CCC when it went tits up. Now I've found it - incorporated in Racecar Engineering magazine. (As is RallySport). Interesting articles in Racecar Engineering too, I'm now considering adding it to PPC as a subscription!

Also got a free copy a few days ago and noticed the continued digs - but eliot, they aren't AT DT, they're BY DT.

Oh yeah - it was filby..

I dont get the ad on p23 then:

"Wanna buy some crap?
After 5 years rest, Den Tanner is going back into business doing what he always did best.
Yes he's selling cobra parts again.."

So he's selling crap parts?

[kevp]

yea I got one to.
Was a welcome suprise but wont tempt me to subscribe. I did noticed the comments & gripes still going on. Anyway I'll stick with Totalkitcar at every other month.

PPC and Retro Cars for me too.

Incidentally, what was one of the main features in this edition of Kit Car ? Yep, you guessed it . . . another look at the Yank V8's by Mr Detail Dean. What a surprise !

Overall it was better though, except for the sniping. If they cut out the yank v8 stuff and no sniping it might be worth looking at again.

CRAP. Apparently stands for Cobra Replica Parts and Accessories. I don't know where DT is going with this idea.

Oh bugger.
You get the idea though.

[crmcatee]

as a relative newcomer to the kit car scene I picked up a couple of mags about 18 months ago to see what was what and what was available.

I have to say the bickering that I read in the mags and one in particular put me off buying that mag again. It was like a couple of kids had their toys thrown out the pram and were having a spat.

Shows the mentality of the editors if after 18 months that I know about (and is probably much longer) that they let this sort of thing continue.

Professional magazines - well they might be if they got rid of that sort of stuff.

I know that it's Den, and he has his quirks, but I'm not sure I would want to go down the line of having CRAP as an acronym for a sales business!

Think you'll find it's Cobra Replica Automotive Parts.

So who's going to be the first to phone him up and ask if he's got any parts to fit a Python...

"So Eliot.
Now that you've realised you've goofed. have you anything to say?

Yes, you’re right - the two adds for CRAP were genuine adds, it's fair to say that i did misinterpret the ads - fair enough - sorry. at least you have some free publicity for your CRAP though!

With regard to the first add - I was hoping after ~18 months that things would of moved on, clearly they haven't. I don’t even like the PY****, but I think you should leave people to make their own minds up.
The filby fact file details the story nicely, I dont think the magazine should be used as a conduit of your frustration.

Eliot.
