Readers Cars needed - a challenge...

Hello Peeps, i'm about to go away for a couple of weeks, so my readers cars section is being freelanced out for the next issue and i'm due to start putting together the one for after that this week. Thing is, i don't have many entries in stock as i don't get many in over Christmas and many people put their cars away over this period to avoid the worst of the salt.

If you'd like to see your car in an upcoming issue of PC, please email me a strong image of your car with a nice background, (no bins or fences please!), perhaps in the countryside etc. I'd like to show the world your car to the best of my ability, so i'm quite choosy with the images. They'd need to be quite large, (at least 10cm wide at 300dpi - but whatever comes off your digy camera at its best or highest quality will do - the bigger the better).

I'll need a few words about your car, why you bought it, any amusing stories etc, we don't have a lot of room but i'd prefer more info than not enough. I'll also need the exact year and model designation of your vehicle, and your name and address (address not for publication - we only use the county/shire).

You can include more than one car if that's what you have, as the me and my classics slot is back, but i will need some info about yourself for this section - what you do etc, plus a nice clear head and face shot of your good self... I do have a few of these ready to go, so it may not appear for a while.

There's some good pics of your cars already on the forum, so i know there are some out there. if you could email them to me direct on neil.campbell@practicalclassics.co.uk as soon as you can, i can start to put this section together.

many many thanks,

Neil

I have had my three in there BUT I still have a copy of a "Readers Drive", which you may now be interested in :?: It has some very nice views and some include the classic car I used to "Do" the route.

I'll email you directly with a few more if you're interested, they will be quite big files though so may send them in a few emails

cheers, Matt

Yeah - yours is a sweet looking car, should definately be in the mag IMHO!

The Scimitar above is beautiful too - what an excellent picture. You have a talent there sir! :D

Doesn't it just look so "right" that it makes one question why GM ever bothered to paint them any other colour. I've no wish to belittle the magnificence of the big Reliants, but see that Trigger, he's one very lucky fella. :mrgreen:

Orange FTW. :D
