 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

Hello - I'm new too. A guy at the Historic Motorsport Show this weekend told me about this site. Did any of you guys go? It was excellent. I also found out about a new magazine that's coming out. Its been started by two guys from Practical Classics and Dave Walker from Cars and Car Conversions. Looks really good. Similar type of cars to Retro Cars mag but with much more technical info by the look of it.

Hi
Is that the one that looks like CCC? I bought it once but it wasn't for me. Too much modern expensive stuff and not enough oily money saving hands on stuff. Looking forward to the new one that Dave Walkers in though. They're doing stuff on making your own throttle bodies. I fancy reading that.

Oooh hello both of you,.. Shaun : thanks for the nice comment  Jimmy Page, thats interesting,.. would be good to get hold of whoever is doing it, see if we can get in the news for launch issue. Is it the same Dave Walker as in the Ozzie F1 driver? 1380Checkm8 : Loads of places round here stock it, WHSmiths, Borders, even the local non-chain newsagent. |

The only thing close to it is called Track Car Racer(??) which is in the same format as RCM - just wondered if they'd changed the name?

I picked up a flyer from their stand. I'll dig it out when I get home tonight. Not Dave Walker the race driver. Dave Walker was the etchnical guy at CCC mag. Used to do that car clinic thing where he helped readers set up their cars.

I'm pretty sure none of the main original CCC staff are working on the Track and Race Cars mag - so this must be a new one! ooooh...
Tangent: I LOVED CCC magazine. Got almost every issue from 74 to 2003, superb!

Looks like this forum started at just the right time, there's obviously a mood for it at the moment! |

Has Will Holman left Practicall Calssics? I emailed him not too long ago about something in PC and he was still editor.
Kevin Leaper writes for Prac,Classics too.
Is PPC put out by Emap? They did a one off called RPM (Retro Performance Magazine) which they sent out with PC last year. It was fantastic, with articles about Zetec conversions, MGB Sebring replicas, and a bloke who built a 1950s style special using more modern Alfo running gear. Great!
