There are actually 3
Kit Car
Which Kit
TotalKitCar - quarterly
TotalKitCar run by far the best web site

One of the kitcar mags has an editor so full of shite it's ridiculous - going on about cars that HE makes and aren't actually in
production.
He's doing a cobra rep, which was reviewed by a BMW enthusiasts mag and the review wasn't particularly good.
The other ran a popular cobra co and had to sell it cos of the lies by 1st bloke.
I buy KIT CAR. Nearly bought Total Kit Car but at nearly a fiver, c(w)ouldn't empty my pocket

Bought 'Kit Car' today, for the first time in a longgggggg time.
Won't be doing that again. Huge amount of adverts, little tests or editorial.
Retro, PPC, or the one that replace CCC from now on ( on the odd occasion when I buy one).

i subscribe to PPC and occasionally buy KitCar altho get a bit miffed by the space dedicated to righting the wrongs of other publications at times.
Of course we shouldnt forget that Which KitCar is really the one to buy for impartial advice and help.

Stuff like this is precisely why neither of the two main kit mags would ever get
my cash again. Allegedly, one editor heavily biases his reviews to promote kit manufacturers he has significant commercial interests in, and the other
(although with good intentions) seems utterly obsessed with hatred of the other magazine/editor and goes to extraordinary lengths to put them down at
every opportunity, to the detriment of the magazine content.

Track and race cars for engine advice and track day listings, although you can get most of this info off the internet. (this mag gives you a good
start on where to look on the internet) Buy one of the kit car mags and take a note of the advertisers as that is about all they are good for. Over
the last fifiteen years they still run the same features and listings, buy one or memorise one from WH smiths. job done
