Yeah i did and they were really courteous in there response. However I've now had three emails that make no sense. They've asked me to write a short note 50/100 words about my thoughts on the Monaro which is fine but then I've had two more messages that seem to be some sort of argument between people about not being happy with ppcm. I know it sounds confusing but that's the only way i can think of explaining it. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced it.

Sounds like one of those mailing list loops. Can be funny to watch.

I guess your right. That would make sense. There's a guy asking us to do a write up on the car and then another guy asking why he should when someone else would take the credit and that he wasn't happy that ppcm hadn't even replied to his email when he was first to offer his car for the photo shoot (i did all that without breathing). Its all very odd. I'll keep ya postedhehepunch

Hi everyone,
I'm Ed from PPC magazine. Sorry about the confusion over this. I'm a bit confused myself.

Basically I had a great response from my original post on the forum and very easily a photoshoot was arranged. I sent an e-mail to everyone else who contacted me thanking them very much for getting in touch and explaining that a photoshoot had been arranged. Here is the e-mail I sent on 11th Dec below:-

Hi Chaps,
Firstly I must say thank you very much for taking the time to get in touch with me about this forthcoming photoshoot. I had an overwhelming response and all the cars would have been ideal, which made picking one like pulling a name out of a hat!
Anyway, I have now chosen a car and the photoshoot is arranged, but thanks once again for offering to take part. The Buyers' Guide will be in Practical Performance Car's February issue, out on the last Thursday of January.

All the best,
Ed Hall

Anyway, I then e-mailed again yesterday some of the folks who'd originally contacted me asking if anyone could write just a couple of lines giving an "owner's view" of the car. This is only a small part of the feature and naturally all words would be attributed to whoever wrote them. I just think it helps in the guide to have opinions of a few people who actually own and drive the cars.

In then came to my attention that some people had not received the e-mail I sent on Dec 11th so I resent the e-mail to all those concerned out of courtesy.

I hope this clears the matter up.

All the best,
Ed Hall

Thought my local Martin's would have it as they have every obscure title you never heard of, but no, and not Tesco, nor my local car-mag-friendly PFS, or a small WHS!

Thanks Mel, will PM you.

Uh-oh - well if I'm out, I'll leave him a note to see if he can drop it with a neighbour.

Quick public thanks to Mel - this arrived today, very timely as I had a little op on my hand this morning so I'm sewn up and can't drive but this will keep me occupied in the meantime!
