red wrapping on this months mag

Grab your brew 'n' Jaffas and pop in for all your chat, gossip and wild stories

The red wrapping on this months mag nearly dropped me in the shit this morning when the postie dropped it in. Missus thought I'd ordered a jazz mag so just wondered what this red wrap thing is all about? :wtf:

I got excited and though my missus had got me a subscription to a jazz mag - still quite happy with my car porn though :D

Me too. I think the posty was miffed as he probably had a sneaky peek then realised it was a boring old car mag....with big norks on the front. And a girl.

Yeah i wondered what had come through the door, was thinking i may have orderd something off the the wrong (right) side of the interdodah when i was drunk the other night :lol: Thankfully or not i have managed to lock up my neck and back so not at work so i managed to spot it on the floormat!!! I can garantee that if my missus (and she is a proper eastend cockney... her language can be as dirty as the bed of the river thames when she goes bonkers!!)would have rang me at work without opening said wrapping threatening to feed my genatailier to the dog thinking i had ordered a porn mag, although i would probably say its free on the internet!! Prehaps next month stick an actual porn mag cover around the mag and watch the forum response next month :lol: :o :lol:

Sod the red rapping I've just read DW's column, I never understood why I read magazines from the back forward :wtf: .

A man never to hide his light under a bushel used his copy to tell us he has non-hodkins lymphoma and for the first time reading what is mostly a light-hearted publication my stomach suddenly feels rather heavy. I have a simple message for him if he ever finds himself on here; keep on.

I know, I've just read his article, I've never met him, but it was like a close friend was giving me the news.
I hope he's doing ok...

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.
