 build a car that you like and want to use , be it sunny days and shows only , or everyday to the grind to work

agree with the far too many b!tches in the scene! its all about going the way YOU want to,not slammin people all the time coz they dont have the latest fashion victim alloys or whatever! thats why i liked the dub scene so much when i first got involved coz it was soo diverse,now its as if you have to follow suit all the time!

i agree with you stu, thats exactly what my car is, a very daily driver, although i like to keep it looking neat and have a few things ive picked up from what ive seen ehre and in mags, itll never match those cars, but in the end, i'll be happy and i enjoy driving and playing with it

But if you read Golf+ (I dont know about PVW) there's occassions when people complain that daily drivers and/or standard cars aren't featured enough, but when PVW do just that, people still complain.

thats people for you mate.... it is impossible to please everyone, and its a lose lose situation for mag's like PVW and Golf+ these days.

if they only featured huge spec 30k+ show cars with crazy body mods, the euro people would complain its gettin too much like lax flower, and people who cant afford a trailor queen would complain about not enough "drivers" car going in. and as soon as they do feature some good quality daily drivers built on budgets, there will always be people who know their car is at a higher standard (take joe's mk2 for example) and that the standard of feature cars is slipping....

personally i think its good that mags these days do still feature cars of that level... and IMO its partly about being in the right place at the right time, and gettin your name out there... id place a large sum of money on joe's car bein featured if it was pushed in the right directions.

I like to see them do english built cars tbh, not all the time but more often than not.

Dont get me wrong i like seeing other nations in their doing it as well, like in the mark 2 madness issue of pvw. for eg the americans know how to make a good dub and then the dutch also seem to have put the drugs to one side and concentrated on dubs but i always prefer to read about a nice UK built VW's.

well i like PVW i like the way they do feature some quite standard cars as well as the big budget show cars! i think most people would jump at the chance if they were asked if they wanted their car featured! ive just picked up some german vw mags while over here and there is some horrors in it! i think england are leading the way with vdubs at the moment and pvw show a good selection of them! there realy is no pleasing some people with mag content!! never mind!

yea i think the germans have run out of ideas to be honest, so go for bright paint jobs and garish styling. My top three would be English, USA and Netherlands for styling.

I buy both PVW and Golf+ (which is not good on the pocket!!) I'd prefer just to buy one which has abit of everything in it.   But if they did that then the price would go up

Its a tough one.
i think it's nice for us to see a bit of reality in any magazine. it stops us feeling alienated by huge budget dream cars. But i agree that the feature was maybe a bit too big for the spec of the cars in question. i guess maybe it was nice to see 2 colour concepts in good shape in a nicely shot feature? But surely at the end of the day the we buy magazines as an insight into whats possible, or to take a look at the absolute cutting edge. we all know what the reality of daily drive's look like! but thats just my opinion
