Which Kit mention

Well, we finally hit the big time - a mention in the news section of 'Which Kit' - all credit to Chris W for running such a great site.

Shame "Which Kit" is run by such an alledgedly crooked and dishonest kind of chap. I might buy the mag to see for myself if it wasn't.

Allegedly...



Never mind the bloke - I think it's a cr*p magazine - too many glossy photos and not enough practical stuff.

I'd more inclined to say Which Kit had hit the big time by being mentioned on here...

their current series on an Avon build - which I hoped would be useful to me - turns out to be along the lines of .....

1, rivet floor
2, fit suspension
3, fit pedals

etc etc

How did I know this post would turn into a 'Which Kit' slagging match!

Cos your psychic, no?

He does have some (alledgedly) rather dubious practices, you have to admit!

(Alledgedly) advertising cars that don't exist, built in factories that don't exist (in far flung places).

Not very good if you're new to the kitcar scene, and this is the reception you get.

You all seem to have fallen for the slagging match between whichkit? and kitcar magazine that happened a few months back - it was pretty funny schoolyard arguing really.

The best way to find out is to actually have a look, which kit actually carries some good articles (admittedly some shite ones too) - had a good one on Zetecs/Duratecs recently. KitCar is still full of articles about which kit should you buy. Neither magazine is particularly fantastic.

So its horses for courses really, do you want tech(ish) articles or kir reviews?

Blue got a free issue of Kit Car, it was quite good actually with some good articles about the GD cars (yum!) and stuff about reconditioning brakes, which was also quite handy. The bickering was quite funny too!

Well done Chris!

I doubt I'd be where I am now without the help of this site!

What, Guildford?





7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Its that mention of this site that got me here.


personally I buy both mags, and i find which kit to be the better.... When i first started buying them and trying to leanr about what id got myself into i was totally dissapointed to see kit car contained pages of slagging off which kit, a thicker magazine with more crap init in my opinion, never saw any retaliation from which kit.

when theres only 2 mags( i know of) considering the amount of mags for similar interests its a shame one of them is filled with pointless rants about the other!! the time spent by kit car mag investigating the aledged 'dodgyness' of the which kit editor could be better spent writing about kits IMHO. and if this guy is so shifty - it would of been stopped!!
