Cars And Car Conversions

Prob in the wrong forum I know, but what did this mag change its name to?

[Guy Humpage]

It didn't. It closed down. The new 'Track and Race Cars' has a very similar logo though. Dave Walker from CCC contributes to Practical Performance Cars which is very similar to CCC.

[Mark Benson]

Practical Performance Car is the spiritual successor as far as I can see. Found it a few months ago and bought it ever since, well worth a read and Dave Walker has a regular slot.

It may be....but it isnt an easy magazine to find in shops....

Ive only seen about 2 copys so far.

Thanks for the info guys. I too bought the mag a few months ago, but haven't seen it since! Does anyone have issue 7 (?), as I saw in the back issues section that they ran an article on tuning Pug 205s. I've just bought an Mi16 engined 205 and am fitting a full weld in cage to it for a cheap trackday car. I'd be interested to see what they say on recommended mods, etc.

Having rung their back issues dept, they have sold out of the issue I need. Would it be possible for someone to scan the 10 page article (guessing here) on the 205 and mail it to me? Please pvt mail me through the forum for my mail address. Many thanks

Can't help you there, but you might want to chack out the March issue of Retro Cars for a (5-6 page?)report on modifying 205 GTI's in the tech section, too (if you haven't got it already)...

After spending a few weeks searching for it in big mainstream newsagents in London where i work, I emailed the editor with my postcode and he sent me back three shops right on my doorstep that stock it.

Contact details on:

www.ppcmag.co.uk/

Will the editor, loves anything with a V8 in it!

CCC is now part of "Racecar Engineering", but as others have said, PPC is the spiritual successor to CCC, no silly speakers and body kits. Although this month its got a supercharged saxo on the front cover.

Apparantley you can find it in Asda this month too.
