Which Kitcar Magazines do you read?
Bit of a random question but just wondering which kitcar mags you lot read the most (if any)...
Going to be advertising my business in one or two of the kitcar mags subject to costs and wanted to get an idea of which one dominates the kitcar
literature section.
I'll also be registerring as a trader on here shortly

I used to read a couple but found that they were mostly adverts with very little content. PPC ftw

PPC is the only one I read.
Good luck with the business venture. If you can get going in this climate, you'll be rolling in it once things recover!
Cheers,
James

I've just entered my 4th year of business on the 1st of july I recently purchased a printer to go with the cutter & heat press I have
already, so I'm expanding slowly but surely. I decided I'd better get my finger out and drum up a little more business to help pay for the
equipment.
Anywho, I'd better not say much more otherwise I'll be getting my knuckles rapped by the mods for soliciting services without being a
trader. More info to come soon

I used to have a subscription for PPC but they kept promising me a t-shirt and never sent one so I didn't renew after a couple of years....
If I fancy something to read I'll buy it, if not I don't. Mostly I read Evo or Octane these days.

PPC lands on the doorstep... I flick through the kit car mags in Tesco and they have very little in the way of motivation.
Other mags I read are ClassicFord and Total Offroad. I sometimes buy FastFord if there is a zetec conversion/build article.

Occaisional pick up a copy of PPC and sometimes read brother in-laws copy of Octane.
Can't stomach the kit car mags anymore - makes you wonder who actually reads them doesn't it!

Realized very quickly that they are repetitive and lazy.

Il have a flick through in WHSmiths and get any of the above if they have some interesting stuff in but i wouldnt say i buy them regularly. I just
find a lot of the stuff is always the same especially the adverts and the focus is really broad when id say im mainly interested into the 7 style cars
and bec engines. I like it when they follow a build but then i dont stay commited to any one mag, they should do several pages devoted to one build
per issue so you get the full story of building and living with that one kit.

I've got about 3 months to go with my subs to Complete Kit Car ..... just wanted to give it a 'go' as it was a newbie to the
scene.....
Sometimes buy PPC, but only if there is something/article that I want to read....
I get Octane sent as we advertise in there...and no, before you all shout,....totally NOT kit car/7 related.... 
Quite expensive to advertise in there though......

Another PPC reader here.
Will very occasionally leaf through the others in Smith's, but unless there is something really new or interesting, it's just the same old
stuff.

I get PPC on subscription.
Sometimes buy Complete Kit Car which IMO is the best of the current bunch of kit specific magazines.
Kitcar Magazine used to be better through the feud years with Which Kit but has gone downhill with a large number of repeat articles and
advertisements dressed up as features..
Have got some copies of Totalkitcar where there was an article of interest but their website has most of the news features on it.

Another vote for PPC, but I also take complete kitcar,
I won't have anything to do with scribblings by Dennis Tanner who just produces reprints of things past and calles them GUIDES.
There is one out now labeled something like KITCAR SUMMER GUIDE, just flik through it a tesco. there is stuff in there I read about eight years
ago.
Denis.
Where did that go?

And another for PPC - but I do also get CKC every other month or so. I like the kit car mags but I'm fed up with them all featuring the same
stuff. I have lost track of how many articles I've seen on Total Head Turners - and they don't even build anything to my knowledge!
