Practical performance car magazine coupe feature

Not sure what sort of feature it will be but there will be a coupe in this months edition available 1st October.
Hopefully 2 coupes will feature.

John I'm guessing 1st Nov not Oct?

Do you know more about what it will be about this time?

It involves my car and maybe one other at Santa pod.
Not sure if the location will be mentioned in this edition or if its just a photo shoot and a brief write up.
And for those of you who have never seen me I believe I'm in the magazine somewhere.

That's all I know.

I think it has a blad bloke that looks like a monk and i think he drives a black LE coupe 600bhp but am not sure on this?

Ah that'll explain why it's not been on the shelves for weeks!

Out now

Who the could that be.....??

Fantastic write up John.
Not sure who the fat bloke is in the back ground talking with Barbz?

Paul, I can SEE you....! Your trousers have shrunk; you need a word with 'er indoors.

Brilliant article though. Just one problem... John is photographed from behind looking like Indiana Jones... NOT! Where is the whip, and where did you get that hat??

Great publicity for our cars though. Good job,

Tim

Just got a copy.
Brilliant write up.
6 pages and a picture on the cover.

The quality of the photography is superb.


The cowboy hat is a long story,but I knew I would get ripped for it

Great write up John, good publicity for the car and the club too.

... Indiana Jones Covers up the crop circle though!

Yeah well after the criticism by various members ,following the autoitalia feature ,that i shouldve thanked people who didn't get involved I thought best I mention the ones that did.

So big thanks to Porkypaul,and Barbz for there help towards this.

I'm sure my Indiana jones hat will be the topic of conversation for some time

You bet...

Not much use in your Coupe - you'd need a sunroof and the hat would need to be applied from the outside....

Well if nothing else Tim the ladies love it
(The above is a blatant lie)

Got my copy yesterday - nice write up.

As this was at Santa pod did you actually do the 1/4 mile??? If so what were yours and Barbz times??

Nick

Went down the 1/4 for testing only.
Wasn't safe to push the cars.

My car wasn't fuelling right hence the recent addition of the Omex.

Has any one seen John waynes hat anywhere????

Last time I seen it I think Clinton had it????


Please let me know ASAP the last time it was seen.

Jealousy Cus I pulled it off.
Wouldn't get that hat over your ears .Spok

Haha it was only there to hind that massive patch off hair loss monk.

You look good as indy jones.

Mr Eastwood to you.

Or you can address me as Sir before you talk to me like your Mrs does

Sir Indy jones clit or Eastwood???

And you do look like a ---- good job your coupe is a fine machine to make up for your looks slap head sir.

No need for that.

Oh there alot of need sir landing patch.

Yamama

Was Crazy looking for a guide to Carlisle????

Lol
With those ears his vision is impaired somewhat.
Audible version only

What's pink and rides a horse?

























Clit Eastwood. Har har

Just read the article. Well done for all the work you (+ Barbz and the guy who mapped the Omex) have put into it. Coupe looks awesome too - man I really need to spend some money on the my Coupe's bodywork!

First time I've actually bought a PPC issue in years, rather than just reading it in WH Smiths!

Glad you enjoyed it KJ

I must admit its one random magazine.

Usually mags flow very predictably through there content whereas this one has some very different approaches to editing.
And it's the only mag I have read from cover to cover because it always keeps you entertained.

Loads of content and things going on.
Thoroughly enjoyable bedtime reading.

cant find this magazine anywhere

Today Ive looked in

WHSmiths Liverpool St Station
WHSmiths City Airport (landside and airside)
WHSmiths Jersey Airport
Some country bumpkin petrol station in Jersey

No one has it???

I got mine from a bp petrol station they had around 4 copies but that was when it first came out.

Just order a copie online from ppc.

This is a Mario he wants a pizza my daughter.
I got my eye on you Mario.

LOL

Are you looking on the right rack Mario as I think your looking to high ( top rack only) lol.

If you cant find it ask the person behind the counter if he's got a book on hats? This might help as I think they sale hats aswel???

Hat for his baldy spot?
That's an advert right there that regain for men doesn't work.

Well you could sell Mario your hat John as I think he might like the style.

I don't think so.
That's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Plus no Italian can look good wearing that.

Hey John!!
Just got ppc mate, bloody well done, AWSOME write up and picks....I want one!!! But will have to sell the daughter...mmmm....oh and cheers again for a great job on clutch and belt, I can't believe how rapid you did it and so well!

Hi Marc
Thanks for the feedback,I can shift when I need to

Click on my username and drop me a pm.
I forgot to send you the advisories so my appolagies.


Glad your happy with the service
Hopefully I will take you for a spin in the car next time your down.

You will want one if you go in his car!!!

I know it's cost me so far lol.

You love that car so shut up yer mouth.

These it true but remember why I had one in the first place slap head.

All I remember is you said you weren't a fan.
Then you bought Japanese rubbish and I managed to take you out in mine.

Following you spending half the day throwing up after being co pilot your eyes were almost as big as your ears.

You know it makes sense rodders.

Can any of you kind folk do a scan for poor me on the other side of the world where there's NO chance I'll be able to pick up this mag?

I might be able to get permission from the editor to host the features on here so the offshore owners can see it.

This will be when the current month is expired though.

Got my copy today. Good read!

JBT or should I say Power Ranger what's up with the hat?

It was a joke between friends

I picked up a spare copy from my local shop today. If anyone wants it let me know and I can post it for the cover price plus postage......

First come, first served.

There were 3 more copies in ASDA in Rochester which I can grab if you let me know asap

Tim

Just to add, I'm happy to send them overseas.....

Any takers? Two pictures of John in THAT HAT is at least one too many....

Tim

Dude get over it.
I wil buy one for you if your jealous.

And as your a single man now it does help with the ladies of all age
If your no longer interested in the female form then I will dig out the sailors hat which is a favourite for the boyz.

You have a pm Tim.

Got my copy. I can't believe how clean your coup looks! Congrats on the article!

Anyone spot the startrek link in the q's section?

Thanks
It is very clean ,hopefully I can keep it that way.

Just need to do the interior next year.

Ordered two back issues today Very helpful editor lady to boot.

Ah no, these are Autoitalia mags.....

Lol

Just got my copy tonight, picked up in Tesco.
The car is looking good, i'm starting to feel a little ashamed of mine now lol

I have just received my copy of the mag. (thanks Tim )

Well done John ,that article wont do your business any harm what so ever. The car is a credit to you.

Cheers Joe

I suspect that your's has worked out a bit cheaper

No-one should be ashamed of owning a Coupe; a love/hate relationship but mainly love

I see I got a mention in the letters page!

johnnybravoturbo I would like to mention after a serious head injury a few days ago and after being rushed to oxford hospital accident and emergency the members of staff were trying there best to try and get me to remember anything at all then after 6 hours I remembered I had a car, and nothing less than a Fiat Coupe, and apparently I wouldn't shut up about somebody called "johnnybravoturbo's Coupe"

Every member of staff in Oxford Radcliffe Hospital now know all about your car as they were trying desperately to keep me awake by getting me to speak about your car as thats the only thing I could remember.

Your cars now even more famous
Congratulations you helped keep me conscious by my love for your car.

Hi

First of all sorry to hear about what happened.

Glad your ok now.

I visited that hospital alot when my dad was ill and I must say despite the interior appearance and lack of parking there staff is second to none.

There was a nurse there called Eve who I remember well.
Despite being a nurse for over 30 years she was still very caring and enthusiastic as ever.
Very inspiring to the younger generation and devoted to her job.

If you had mentioned John Cartlidge which is my real name then maybe they would've remembered my Dad who spent alot of time there.
Professor Newton-Davis and the Radcliffe hospital were the only specialists in Britain for a rare neurological condition called myasthenia gravis which my father had.
They all worked very closely with him and tried numerous tests to try and overcome this.

Due to there care I was able to have my dad around for a few more years so will always be grateful for that.

Unfortunately I also heard that the professor died in a car crash recently which was a real blow to the future research into this condition not to mention the loss of a very influential and intellectual person.

Thanks for taking the time to put that post up and glad that in someway I maybe helped in keeping you awake.

If your ever in the area pop in and I will take you for a run in it
Hope you have a great new year

Regards John

This could be an opportunity for daft comments, but can I resist...

Moto, hope everything works out well. Keep us in touch.

Tim

PS Dreaming about John's car is worthy - just don't dream about JBT or you have a problem... . All the best

Come on Tim ,you know that dream could be a reality.
You only have to ask me once as you only live twice

Moto all the best for the new year and when you meet JBT you will see he is not to kind on the eyes just his coupe lol.

Feel beta soon moto. All the best.

There's an exit there.
And an exit over there so &£?! Off and use it

They are famous words John and should only be used when you are in full control off your senses. Lol.

Wow I will pm you now i am only in Northampton so your not too far from me anyways!
