Re: [doc] Re: Practical Classics Magazine

[Mike Sumner <mikebmw316@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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!!   :-)

they have used what appears to be the same picture of the car from 
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.
