you can join for a year and see what it's like. If you don't like, don't renew your membership. Total cost = £59. About one tank of fuel in a year?

...I find the magazine a bit dull...There are also far too many pictures of middle aged people standing around...the magazine looks like a circular for the local round table or Lions club!...



It certainly is a bit of a shocker in this regard: I've rarely come across a more self-congratulatory publication but it could be worse...

After all, so many car manufacturers will send customers (or indeed, ex-customers of their brand) the most appallingly fatuous glossies, featuring inane articles that pretty much pull themselves off to the unsurpassed aesthetic rapture of the much lamented, 1932 Bacchaus Schneidelhorn outdoor water closet, then to fawn pitifully to the latest chef celeb take on the humble Spam fritteur with marmalade di ostrich dump.

It's all a bit like 'Cheshire Life' on speed and there's no way Peter Wheeler would ever have even considered such vapid lunacy.

I'd certainly subscribe.


Oh I do love it when DeRestrictor produces this type of copy - the new Quentin Tarantino I wonder?

When you get your R400, please come over to Blatchat and inject some of your humour onto there. Don't bother with the PCGB forum - they won't appreciate (or understand) your humour, and you'll only spark off a major debate about racist overtones in postings.

Toppstuff - spot on about the PCGB though - cravats at dawn lads?

My renewal came through and I siply put it in the bin. Just seem backwards to me. Take look at their forum for example, it's got unanswered questions dating back to last year!

I've also cancelled 911 & PW after reading Mr Raby's review of the £53,0000 993 C4!

You weren't the only one to read that article in disbelief.

AceP what do you expect from the club??
lots of benefits mentioned, you basically get membership fee back on discounts everyear. Also not mentioned are well organised trackdays for novices and a great way into motorsport through the open and sprint classes.
