The above appeared on the September issue of Kit Car Magazine in the Mailbox section. To which a lengthy reply was issued and edited as follows...

Quote:

Thanks for the letter and your interest.. and of course, we hope you'll visit our own web site, www.kitcarmag.com, for new, articles, cars, and fun.

Whoever at KCM.

I won't list all of the helpful sites outlined by Alex.. that just would not seem right here. But having visited them, I'm not sure how he formed his opinion. Might have been on one of those days recently hightlighted by Computerwerks in a "sticky" dated 8/17???

Damn.

Regretfully,

Zderf ...

Been there, seen that, already got the T shirt and worn it out. See the attached url for the details:

Just a guess.....Alex is associated with some other site, magazine, etc (biased), or just didn't stick around long enough to see all the great things that happen around here (by choice or not). Either way it's unfortunate. I'm sure the editor is aware of this great group, but maybe he/she is biased too when it comes to actually editing.....Hmmmm...kitcarmag.com....maybe?

Pretty humorous. :)

Brent,
I wonder how many charitable events have been supported by kitcar magazine and how many close friendships have been established. Certainly the cobra family will always find something to argue about, criticize or debate the merits of BUT we also are THE most interactive, supportive group within ANY cobra community. This place is like Cheers, where everyone knows your name and where everyone sets aside differences when the chips are down.
You've created a great site and though you still scream like a woman when the turbo spools up in our Porsche, I still think you're a heck of a guy!:D

If you look at what he said literally, while some threads from potential buyers get fairly long, and there are a number of old threads regards the inquiries of "those looking to purchase a Cobra", also, there is a possibly disproportionate representation of a small number of makes who dominate the discussion. Maybe that's what he means, more than just the immature flaming that goes on (and certainly greeted me when I first naively posted). I dunno. Just thinking out loud. Curt Scott certainly flamed ffr in his book, but I guess that doesn't count. Certainly the huge number of pictures in the gallery would be a great help to somebody trying to pick out a style/paint scheme/ dashboard/ roll bar options, etc.

Never bought an issue, and now it is certain I never will! This site has changed my life and saved me hours and let me meet some great people.

ToyCollector,,,,,actually Kit Car Mag didn't come off as "that bad" in the other thread (which is good reading in my opinion). They WANT letters from CC members answering this guy and said they WILL publish a response!

I'm not sure why they posted the other guys letter in the first place, perhaps there being "fair" to all opinions? I for one WILL be watching to see how this plays out!

Unlike "Kit Car Builders" at least they had the good sense to keep the Gasholes out of their mag. Uh,,,er,,,,is that a good thing? LOL
