Mine arrived this morning which is late.......


It's got a few observations in it about the other magazine and without wishing to inflame the situation *, 'Which Kit Car' magazine is becoming VERY poor value for money. 'Kit Car', however, is becoming more difficult to read. I think it's because the ads are somehow outnumbering the editorial pages near the front. Just my opinion.


* I really mean that, but I'm feeling a bit guilty about getting involved in a 'Mag Wars' situation. In fact I can feel myself getting peoples backs up.....that's not fair is it?

Frankly I take neither anymore (It might prompt me into another build ) Den did say awhile ago that advertisers do tend to dictate where their advert will go So I guess that as their revenue goes a long way to pay for the publication, They have the final say

The Kit Car website does say they have a fault with the phone system and give an alternative number.

www.kit-cars.com



No comment on the site itself.

Apparently the Dakar4x4 is in Which Kit Car this month and it has to be said I had to think long and hard to remember which magazine that was - It stupid them have such similar names (and yes, i do know about the whole torrid story - including the name thing)

I agree - all they seem to do is Cobras and Sevens (though they had a good article last month on Lamborghini replicas). For small ads they're pathetic IMO.

With the exception of ebay, findit, totalkitcar, madabout, Uxbridge and UK Kit Cars, does anyone know of any really big sites featuring kit cars for sale? (most of those sites seem to have the same adverts)

You won't find 'really big' sites simply because there aren't that many kit cars for sale at any one time.

Madabout has around 40-50 most days and they are current which i think is important. Ebay is also great for potential bargains.

On more at.......

An entrepreneur having a go but I don’t think he gets much traffic which is a shame.

The rules ask posters not to promote other sites in this way....
