I have subscription to PPC, Complete Kitcar and Totalkitcar TKC.
It all depends on what you want in a magazine really, PPC annoys and entertains as they are really good at buying but not so good at finishing
projects. TKC is an all round magazine with articles that go into areas not directly involved with Kit cars. Complete is the best all round for
building and finishing things and keeping up with new events. The problem with having a stand alone kit car magazine is new models are few and far
between so they need things to write about and yes they do repeate a bit but that is not bad in my opinion.

thanks everyone for pointing me in the direction of PPC mag - somehow it has been under my radar when I've been browsing the magazine sections
in the past.
Stopped at borders on the way home to grab a copy - it's pretty slick! I was getting fed up with most of the kitcar magazines as well to be
honest...

lol I've been in business for over 3 full years (just entered the 4th year on the 1st of july)...
I'm a graphic designer & signwriter but have been expanding into other areas slowly over the past 12 months. We got a heat press around a
year ago so we also do design & supply customised heat pressed clothing, and we acquired a wide format printer just over 6 weeks ago so we can now
print on to vinyl, banners, canvas and various finishes of paper.
The mainstay of the business is vinyl artwork for conferences and exhibitions but we're starting to do more vehicles and retail stuff so
it's all going quite nicely 
Anywho, I'll not say any more until I get my trader status sorted or I might end up in trouble

PPc for me or the hot rod mags.
I used to get the kit car mags but got fed up with buying a book of adverts.

I get CKC every month. I like the personal touch, the home build updates and the fact they will reply to you personally, even on here but they seem to
be going a bit too classic for me, are too quick to say things are great rather than giving a subjective view and things like "find the posh
word in this months magazine" rile me. Too Southern and middle class.

I've had PPC on subscription since it first started. I only ever buy a Kit Car mag if it happens to have an interesting article when I'm
browsing in WH Smith etc.
