Couldnt help noticing complete kitcar part in Stoneleigh.
I didnt sign up for it, even with the 35% discount.
- However i did have a rummage through some copys, and wondered what peoples thoughts on it, or any other kitcar mags, is?
- Im very much set on having a seven, rather than any other kitcar, and while i dont mind reading/knowing at a bit about there others. I would far
rather read a artical about locosts/robinhoods/mk's/tigers than the latest change to the ultima, or how to solve issues on your new z-car.
Thoughts welcome!
And if complete kitcar is the ebest, whos at stoneleigh tomorrow wanting to fill in a form for me.

I've read all three at some point, but at the moment Complete Kitcar is better, sinse the take over it has moved on leaps and bounds, IMHO.
I started off with kit car and then this year moved over to complete kit car. Better articules and live build reports.
The new competition in the mag between the two reporters should be a great laugh.....
I tend to find it best to thumb through all three in WH Smiths to check if there's actualy anything in them worth buying them for. They go in cycles tbh 'Kit Car' at the moment is absolutely awful 'Complete Kit Car' ok and 'Total Kit Car' very superficial and very expensive - in 3 months time it could all have swapped round again but I certainly wouldn't sign up for a subscription to any of them
I used to get Which Kit? which then changed to Complete Kit Car and is now much better. I have looked at Kit Car a few times - it seems to have lots of ads. I have got Total Kit Car magazine once - nice looking, but I prefer to get the headlines from the Totyal kit car web site then chase up anything of interest individually
I really like CKC and the new makeover makes it much better than the competition IMO. They like to concentrate on the individual's approach to
building a car which stands out from the crowd, making it much more interesting than 'just another kit car'
...... but then I'm biased
Or try PPC magazine .... great technical articles and much better IMO than the kit car mags....
Got fed up with all the bitching , now read PPC. Dave Walker articles always good.
Tell you what though I bet PPC would sell a lot more copies if it didn't come packaged in a plastic bag which stops you thumbing though it in WHSmiths.....I'm not spending the best part of a fiver on the strength of a couple of phrases like 'Make Your MX5 A Mans Car' splashed over the cover especially after having read some of their 'in depth' articles in the past. 'Why not just open the plastic bag and have a look?' I hear you cry ......well you obviously haven't been to my local WHSmiths
