Bit disappointed with WK?

[Ex-Biker]

I find it a little annoying that WK? start to build the 5exi, yet do not feature the build in every issue.

They seem to be giving more space and priority to the Sumo build.

I've gotnothing against this, but 3 months ago they had over 150 pages, yet now it's down to about 120. They can't use the excuse that there is no room or nothing to put in it really, can they?

It's a shame because the build story is really good, well written and very informative.

There bleeting over with.

To be honest, stopped buying the mag because of it!

They quickly got to the same stage as my build and yes there were a few helpful hints.

Then a b***** Sumo take over, I am sure they did a build less than 3 years ago, I appreciate that this may be a better kit but c'mon the EXi is still in it's infantcy.

For those interested I hope the magical Steve will be back to finish my wiring before Christmas so the rest of the pages will be available.

Regards to all fellow builders

I was a bit up set when they did not do it over continuous months. They missed a month out. Found it informative for a newby as I have not started yet. It gives me an insight of what's to come for a newby novice. I was also a bit upset as in the last issue they could not get as much done due to other kit car commitments.

I couldn't agree more guys, I received my renewal subsription with this latest issue, needless to say I won't be bothering. I have read previous builds by John Watson and they have been excellent, but this one leaves a lot to be desired.

Perhaps it was just too difficult to build.

Not at all, I think the Python needed more work than John expected!

arrrrhh WK have done it again. No 5exi build this month.

Though web site says...

AND THERE'S MORE...
In addition to the above, we have all our regular features including Kit Clinic, Kit Tips, Buying Second-Hand (Westfield SE and Quantum 2+2), the latest on our Kool 5EXi build and more. Plus, there’s an interview with AK Sportscars MD Ken Freeman. The January 2005 issue is on sale from Friday 17th December.

They regularly mess up the dates of the next issue feature. That is nothing new.

I will say though:

I spoke to Terry last week and she told me that there had been a genuine reason for the feature missing a one or 2 months. . . .


. . . . this is the 3rd time now though!

[limpabit]

Any idea what the reasons was?

I will say the reason was genuine and had no relation to the other builds WK? are doing at the moment.

I suppose that is a good way of saying that that is all I really know.
