I bought an addition of this and was really disappointed - where Evo etc really talk about what the cars are like etc. PPC just rattles off stats and costs and says stuff like it should be quick :? They might as well not have bothered to drive them. Sorry for the rant just my 2ps worth :D

Sounds like it may be more of a mag full of adverts then? Editorial or otherwise. :?

Seriously take a look for yourself, I don't know what it was like but now it's great. They don't do many car revues at all, 1 or 2 a month and these are always older models that now don't cost much. The articles are more about the staff projects and performance tuned cars.

These guys have a track day rolls and they built the 27 litre Rover SD1.

Think it was the last issue - home built super cars not one mention of how they actually drove :(

I read it for the projects TBH. They are privately owned cars after all!
