New Porsche mag???
Discussion
Just had the zymol newletter pop in my inbox from one of their official ditributors. They seem to have a feature in a new Porsche mag-
"zymöl is THE only choice for the serious
motoring enthusiast. Check out the latest review in GT Purley Porsche Feb 03"
Blimey I bet GT Purely Porsche are not happy with the new rival
still at least they spelt Porsche correctly

still at least they spelt Porsche correctly Doubt they would check. The mag's full of pictures anyway - little text of no consequence.
Some of the errors in this months mag are pathetic - for instance on the cover they refer to the 911 Targa as the "first wind in the hair Porsche". Er, hello ? Didn't the 356 come in a myriad of configurations ?
Even worse, one of their own editors poses a question on their technical pages (just to shut him up, apparently). Presumably, they only got 5 questions sent in last month and had a crisis in column inches.
This is the same chap who gets his 911 Zymoled - while he clears off and has a look round the surrounding area apparently. Two questions - why didn't he give them a hand, and secondly, why didn't they offer that as a competition prize or something ?
I must confess to buying this mag from time to time. This month it was the 993RS on the cover that did it. And again, just like last time, I wonder why I did. It seems to be a brochure for Specialist Cars of Malton, and their hideously overpriced cars (which have to be seen to be believed)
Unimpressed.

You can`t really blame SCofM for taking advantage of what is effectively free advertising.
As for their "overpriced" cars, - well I`ll agree that the sticker prices are eye wateringly high but there is more to it than that.
I purchased my C2 through SCofM after 12mths of looking round OPC and reputable/not so reputable independants. Both the cars I viewed at SCofM were the best I had seen in that they were the best prepared and low milage - in general they only stock the best cars. They give a good warranty and I had no problems with them over a couple of minor repairs my car needed - even a courtsy car. The price to change cars, which is the important price, was £2k less than OPC (remeber the cars I thought were better) and broadly similar to other independants taking into account the warranty,tax, low miles etc.
It seems to me a strange way to do business to me since the high advertised prices put me of visiting them for some time but I would buy another car of them.
