Re: [doc] Re: Practical Classics Magazine

[Mike Sumner <mikebmw316@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I might if I considered myself a reader of the mag, but I don't.
   
  I only bought the last issue because of the DeLorean buyers' guide and even then the rest of the magazine didn't interest me much.  As a result I only looked at the current issue in the newsagents as there wasn't enough in it for me to justify buying it.
   
  My preferred car mag is Top Gear, as they seem to get things accurate a lot of the time, and don't tend to make silly mistakes (2 issue in a row), like Practical Classics have.
   
  It shouldn't need someone to write to them about this sort of thing.  They are in business to produce something accurate and informative, and when they do not do that they should be aware if it themselves.
   
  What irritates me is that neither of the 2 mistakes they have made have been things that a quick glance wouldn't have picked up prior to going to print.  It's not as if they have got minute details wrong, but instead very noticeable things.
   
  I just happen to notice things like this but then it is for subjects and topics like this that the forum is for.  There would be no point in it if nobody had any observations to share with others.
   
  Why should it be that inaccuracy is accepted without being challenged.

  well, thats what the 'readers letters' pages are for Mike :o)

If you are irritated about the way that Practical Classics portray's
the car we all love, then why dont you put it in writing to them?  If
no one tells them about their innacuracies and "scrappy journalism",
how can we ever hope that they might actually one day get their facts
right and print un-biased reports and views on the DeLorean.

Just my 2p :o)
