June 2011 Practical Classics? Any thoughts?

#1 Post by admin » Thu May 19, 2011 4:12 pm

Well the June 2011 has been on sale for a few days now - any thoughts / feedback / discussion etc? Find the tyre chart to be useful? Not? Waste of paper? Like the Longstone poster? Not? Etc, etc.

Cheers,

Neil

Well I haven't had a chance to buy it yet; but I hear accross the wire that a certain DoloMIGHTY! has his car in it...!

Mine hasn't arrived yet so I had a quick look in one at the newsagent's earlier today, Alan does indeed have his car included but they spelt his name wrongly.

I guessed correctly that they put an 'H' in it, but now I have this vision of a tall, metallic doloMIGHTY! coming out of a space ship in a park and going crazy with a gun. :P

Another good edition, IMHO, keep it up guys. :)

Well I've got it and I thought it was a brilliant issue. The tyre pull out will be very useful and the sheet metal cutters a handy comparison which gave me some new ideas. Enjoyed the Land Rover article but found it ammusing how the C reg G-Wagon was compared to a vitually brand new TDCI Defender.

It keeps getting better and better.

My Kadett is in there as well which is very exciting but they spelt my name wrong as well, :-( It's spelt MichAEl not Micheal!

Still, Im just grateful to have my car featured!

Alan actually is tall and metalic though.

I got a copy :) .

I have to admit this is the first copy of PC I have purchased in well over 12 months.

Not had a good chance to read it properly yet (hoping to this weekend). First impressions (and that's what counts) it looks vastly improved on that last edition I purchased all that time ago.

Well done the new editorial team at PC, glad to see a return to form.

....now someone pass me the metal polish...

I was wondering if that was yours.I thought to myself there is somone on the forum that has a car like that and thought maybe that is the actual car.So that answers that then.
I hate Neil though :x Not only has he one Saab, but he now has two, the jammie git :cry: .Its particularly sensitive for me cause I recently sold my "modern" Saab very reluctantly but also cause I wouldnt mind having this mdel Saab too. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Nice to see some more of Sam Glover's fleet. I love odd Eastern European stuff. Now let's see his Ami 6!
