I'm doing crap :(

My back has gone (again) so not been able to do a thing with Project Manga for a few weeks now. Thought a week away from Work would help my back sort its self out.....no such luck.

Got myself book in with a Chiropractor on Friday.....wish me luck!

Good luck with the back! I'm sure they'll put you right!

I have no car, and haven't even got any tickets yet :think: Maybe I should just give it a miss this year.

Done = taken things to bits (painted the odd bit)

not done = put things back together

Just need to wash the mud / shit / flys off it from the Nurburgring and put it back on road tyres. Suppose we'd better give it an oil change, it's had a bit of a hard time!! :crazy: :lol:

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.
