I was thinking or a San Francisco 49er's parody design but remembering the Eiffel Tower issues and Guff instead of Gulf I shelved it. Also there aren't that many people in the UK who know who the 49er's are and being a Giants fan I wouldn't wear it.

Anyway here's today's effort...

PPC Maths

Expensive ≠ Faster
Newer ≠ Better
Go >> Show
V(2*4) >> 1 * 4
NA + n*ITB = :D where n = cylinders
Fun ∝ RPM * CI


PPC = Cars ± £££

Pretty much every single "Fast and...." tag line has been copy written by some Hollywoodland knobhead. That's why Jackie Chan had to call one of his films "Karate Kid" instead of "Kung Fu Kid" thanks to Pixar copy writing every Kung Fu animal after the Kung Fu Panda film was made. Even though "The Kung Fu Kid" is a classic Jackie Chan film from before Jack Black had finished school. :roll:

Nice idea though. ;)

On the topic of copy write infringement...

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.
