PPC?
Can someone please tell me what PPC stands for and where to get a copy? I've tried all my local newsagents but when I ask them for PPC they look
at me like I've got two heads....... perhaps I should have asked before picking up this months playboy...... ANYWAY!!!! lol
It sounds like a very handy mag and would love to have a read for myself.
Who the f**K tightened this up!

PPC = Practical Performance Car Magazine
quite literally the BEST monthly car mag I have ever read. Is spectacularly usefull and relevant to almost everybody who reads or uses this forum - I
really can't rate it highly enough!
It gives me hope that when I finally manage to dig myself out of student debt, I too can get or build a stonking fast car for pittunce(crazy spelling
I know!)
go to www.ppcmag.co.uk for more details, I usually get mine in whsmith or my local, so if we here in far flung northern ireland can get it then its
bound to be round your neck of the woods too.
At this juncture i would like to point out that i am not actually employed by ppc or any of there associates.... despite my gushing! 
HTH
cheers

if anyone wants the entire set (1-16), i might be tempted to sell for the right price...
or perhaps just #1. going on ebay for 35 quid these days

Yes, PPC is excellent, but very difficult to find. Far easier to subscribe!

I highly recommend subsription. The problem with newsagents is that they sell out so quickly as it is getting very popular.

They've only got about 3 or 4 back issues left now, so don't leave it too long to get yours. And yes, 12 is sold out, but I think
it's 11 they've just found another box of.
Definitely best car mag around

A little of an aside but in this months PPC there's the page that big_wasa posted and the weak point of the R1 was a weak gearbox?
Is it me or aren't the supposed to have very strong boxes?
Any comments?
Ta,
Chris.
