Re: [doc] Re: Practical Classics Magazine



I totally agree Chris.
  
  I couldn't believe what I was reading given that the buyers' guide was very complementary of the car whereas the opening few lines of the current DeLorean feature says something like "is this a good car, no".
  
  It's scrappy journalism really and very contradictory, but that's life I suppose.

  Mike,
I think the 'DC-12' was simply a typo, it's a shame it was such a
large one, but hey we all make istakes. ;-)
what annoyed me was the fact that despite doing such a good artical
one month (buyers guide) that they then slate the car the next
month. but as with most newspapers/magazines, reserch costs money
and it's easier just to print any old rubbish, just try reading the
Sun every day!!   :-)

the front cover of the previous issue, but they have somehow
mirrored the picture so that the reg (which should be something
like "WIA 8096") is backwards.
