Pling-plong classic mini driver coming in...!

Ring the bell and say "Hi" by telling us a little about you and your car. The PPC lock up always has someone in who'll get the door and welcome you in (it helps if you bring a box of jaffas)

Pling-plong classic mini driver coming in...!

Postby Streetscreamer » Sat Oct 22, 2011 12:27 pm

Hi there,

Just a year ago I found out that CCC magazine had a reincarnation. Happy with that. I subscribed immediately because PPC is not for sale in the shops in The Netherlands.

My toy car is a classic mini. Originally a '80 special 1100, but it was totally scrap & rust. Step by step I restored and modified, but also forgot the car for a couple of years due to other projects (scratch build Pug 306 maxi, model car racing), but now finally after 19 years possession the car passed its MOT.
Just now the car has a 1275 A+ engine.
I just did old school tuning with double barrel Mikuni carb, MD286 cam, LCB-RC40 bigbore, stage 4 head with rimflo's, SC drop gears, 3.44 final drive. 13" wheel under modified sportspack arches, Cobre seats, no interior, flip front etc etc.
I hope that PPC and its site will inspire me even more... !

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
