Award catagories for the day??

Read all about PPC's £999 challenge and wished you'd entered? Don't worry, you haven't missed out because it's back

Postby MumbleMotorsport » Mon May 26, 2008 8:37 pm

Apologies if this has already been thought out or settled, but are we planning or deciding a few fun prize catagories for the day - even just amongst ourselves??

Seems that the spirit of the event would easily accomodate this and give it something to aspire to for future years too??

Any thoughts or suggestions peeps??

NB Could we please avoid the obvious too - "car most likely to shed all 4 of its wheels at the second cone". Maybe a tad insensitive and thats not what we are all about now is it. [;)]

Step up Oliver RXeed!! My car seems to be fitted with the Mazda equivalent of the Thames flood barriers instead of injectors. Those bad boys can certainly flow some juice. [:D]

Froggy, the PPC party is on Friday night. The £999 is on the Saturday but there is an open RWYB on the Sunday.

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.
