2012 £999 date, in the Santa Pod leaflet...

Throw money at a problem, it’ll usually fix it. Ask any F1 team, or Michael Jackson. Going fast is the same – if you write enough cheques the chances are you’ll have a fast car. But take away the money and things become a lot more interesting . Bravery, ingenuity, skill and a healthy dose of luck are your tools.

Looks like I might still have the MGF by June, as no one else wants it :(

Always a shaker, real men don't dab.

I was hoping to get the Guff racer finished and ready for the 31st of March and sold by Malory. Then I'd have until September to build another car the next £999 but now the schedule's been moved forward there won't be enough time.

Plan b is run the Rover in March and have three months to do something interesting to it.

With PPC in the Park being roughly half way between the two Santa Pod events it could be an oportunity to see the progress of the £999 builds up close as well. Maybe get a £999 Challenge area of the padock to play in. ;)

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.
