Then at least someone can benefit from their constant back biting. Both as bad as each other it seems.
The new trend seems to be, flick through the two rags in WH Smiths, then buy PPC.
Or Retro, or Track and Road Car

If everyone was to stop buying thier magazines they might get the message that we have had enough! Boycott them both.

No doubt they both claim to be helping/promoting the 'kitcar industry' , when they are both damaging it because they're too selfish
to put put they're private issues aside , and operate in a professional manner.
Everyone in the kitcar world loses........
There's bugger all interesting copy in either mag, normally a quick free scan in WH Smiths is enough

i said not long ago and ill say it again now, and probably when someone else brings it up in the future because the next issue will be exactly the
same shite as last time-
i stopped buying both magazines ages ago, and then when i bought last months issue and saw it was still going on but made half the mag unreadable i
was dissapointed to say the least. making half a magazine unreadable when a third of it is allready filled with adverts doesnt leave much.
as for the recent hapenings with the lambo ad it doesnt suprise me and certailny disgusts me that they think it acceptable behaviour and then his
behaviour with the "customer" when he complained was inexcusable.

i dont think anything more can be said that hasnt already. What is interesting is that Kitcar published an email address in the last issue that
offered a free copy of the 'other rags' comments etc. Whilst i dont endorse anyone to fuel such a childish conquest i for one will be
using that address to vent my utter disbelief at what is going on. Perhaps others may feel the same urge.
I feel that i have just bought my last copy of either rag. Iam disgusted that two individuals can bring such disrepute to our beloved industry. It is
afterall for most of us an enjoyable and worthwhile hobby, to others a hard earned living, both of which can ill afford such childishness. Lets just
hope that the demise of both 'rags' is eminent and that the employees do not suffer as a consequence.

Jeez, just read up on all this, from various points of view.
It's easy to be critical, but I have to say I wouldn't want to be mixed up in it all, what a mess.
Just shows what happens when conflicts of interest and lawyers get involved.
The only solution would be for both Tanner and Filby to resign their posts, this may give the mags some credibility back.
Reading some of the cuttings of articles in Which Kit on the Pilgrim Sumo "problems" is truly shocking.......not because of the problems
but because it is so blatantly just having a poke at Tanner!!!
All kits have problems, yes a front wheel falling off is a major issue and (if it wasn;t something that I had done wrong!) I would be round to see my
"kit" supplier like a shot, using simple anglo saxon proven methods to explain the situation and "evaluate" a solution.
deciding to tell various magazines and then drag people through courts is just plain stupid. People who do this do not deserve to own kit cars. Notice
the "mr Howell" who's suspension failed bought the car fully built. Did he check it over?? Does he know anything about cars?? I
don't know, but would like to find out.
I feel no sympathy for Filby in this, and evidently mr Tanner is not whiter than white either, it's just a sorry state of affairs that the kit
industry needs to be rid of.
AS WAS SAID -
*****DO NOT BUY WHICH KIT OR KIT CAR MAGS**************

Im almost at the point of not bothering with the kit mags now. They are cheap though seeing as my mother buys them for my father who passes it onto me
within a few days

Paid a squid for a copy of Kitcar at Exeter as was offered it when buying the ticket.
Turned out useful as my cubicle in the sh*tter had run out of bog roll.
Only use of the Which Kit stand is looking at the funbags & @rse of the only totty on it - Which is going downhill too.....

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
