PPC's Will Holman had the chance to visit a former magazine subscriber for a sneak preview of his freshly built AMG Red Pig replica that was put together from one of his old cars.

So glad PPC is kinda back. It was the best mag out there for ages, wish u all the luck in the world with growing it on the RU-vids

@andrewbelfield2449 28 дней назад

Great to see that the madness continues, it'll help inspire me to get my 4.2 Jag engined mk1 Capri back on the road sooner rather than later 😊

Yessss do it - summer is coming!

@BigAdam2050 Месяц назад

Audacity is good for messing with audio, lots of little addons and tweaks so you can get rid of the horrible peaks and noise.

@SB-vb8ch Месяц назад

I adore the ludicrousness of the 108 as a racecar...just so cool. Same as the XJC Broadspeed with the wooden dash still in place.

@roughengineering3673 Месяц назад

Brilliant delighted to see ppc back really excited to see what's coming

@raithbiper8736 Месяц назад

Good to see ppc back. Looking forward to the wierd and wonderful creation you guys unearth.

Delightfully shambolic, excellent and keep it up. Glad you're back

@hobbsytoob Месяц назад

Best of luck with this launch guys. Respect to the Red Pig homage but i also quite liked it as Will had it in black.

@davidmartell9858 Месяц назад

Great to see PPC back. Loved the Merc in the mag back in the day. Looking forward to new stuff to come.

At 5:20 the auto generated subtitles say '[Music]' when the engine is cranking over, and then '[Applause]' when it fires. AI is a petrolhead!

@ppcmagazine Месяц назад

We appreciate AI slightly more now 🤣

Great video, despite the wind! Thanks guys! 🙂

@chasevans7171 Месяц назад

Great to see the cars evolution from old age beige to gangster black, and now race car red. A fine job done by all.

@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain Месяц назад

I just remembered where I seen this Merc recently....😂😂 At the Practical Classics and Restoration Show, never realised this belonged to Will. Great to learn the history of this merc and it's latest incarnation. Another great video.

@blacktopmediauk Месяц назад

Nice one. Great se see a car with so much personal history for you Will, and the evolution of the car after you.

@robinfoster7597 Месяц назад

A bit more information would be good + a shot of the interior? Is it running an auto box and what's with the dark lenses on the upper most of the stacked headlights? Enjoyed the video, keep going. :)

@ppcmagazine 27 дней назад

We missed a few things! Sorry about that. Glad you enjoyed. Next episode out tonight 😃

@raychambers3646 Месяц назад

Always liked the look of these mercs nice tribute.

@carlmarkwyatt 27 дней назад

Fantastic video, thanks.

@breihill01 Месяц назад

The story, music and setting is brilliant. Constructive criticism is on the sound quality and the wind noise, just took away from it. Maybe link things more also, feature cars are great but it needs to get us thinking too.... imagine your idea of a race car for the road, we have all thought of that. Great job guys!

@benthompson2649 Месяц назад

Well done guys keep the good work up 👍🏻

@scotty197878 Месяц назад

@jacqeusmouton4005 15 дней назад

PanzerPig! I remember this car from when Will bought it, always wondered what happened to it. PPC magazine used to be available here in SA, but I guess it just got too expensive to import. There's another rep running at Swartkops racetrack outside Johannesburg. Thanks for the update!

@ppcmagazine 15 дней назад

Glad you enjoyed. We had to shut down the mag a couple of years ago due to it no longer being financially viable. However, this is our revival - hopefully it goes well!

@gregculverwell 24 дня назад

Actually the average annual rainfall in Johannesburg is nearly 800 mm. The reason cars don't rust quickly is because it is 600 km from the sea, so no salt on the roads or in the air. And most of the rain is from thunderstorms which will drop 30 mm in less than hour during summer, the rest of the time it is pretty much dry. Nevertheless cars do rust their way into the scrapyard, so this one must have lived a sheltered life.

@fsmlittler Месяц назад

I love that you are producing the videos and please keep featuring old staff cars but please for the love of god drop the shit music. Should have had some in car and a few more details about the build but this is a bloody brilliant start.👍

@nigelgraves8784 Месяц назад

Nice car. Needs more engine noise, less music though

@marksitaliangarage Месяц назад

Footage of the real one on my channel Mark’s Italian Garage. Alfa Romeo and the Mille Miglia part 5 . Well I think it’s the real one but perhaps you can tell me if it is ? It’s such a cool looking thing well done !

@declasm Месяц назад

Definitely an improvement over the first video. Get some mics and take onboard a bunch of the feedback in the comments and things are only going to get better.

@ppcmagazine Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed. Yeah, audio is an issue still - we've got some decent mics now so hopefully things will improve dramatically from our next shoot onwards!

@Phnarphnarphnar Месяц назад

Is there any chance of doing some PPC tshirts? The simple black one with just a logo on the front. Mine fell to bits over many years of abuse and my friend lost his and was gutted.

@ppcmagazine Месяц назад

Oh, we will absolutely do that. Hopefully sooner rather than later 😁

@user-pe8ce7kg5n 28 дней назад

Race Cars back then had that "Leaning Look" because the Car Body was Twisting under the Torque from the Engine and Drivetrain..... Todays Racers run Stiffer Set ups to Eliminate Roll and put the Power to the Track...

@Pallanamnjavelet 6 часов назад

Was looking forward to hearing the engine sound of this beast, sadly someone decided to overdub the most generic rock in the world over it and effectively drown it out. 1/5 Mercedes stars.

love a porco rosso, but a pity the paint job is crap. A pity the owner didn’t spend some more time and effort making this better

@craigharper247 Месяц назад

That's the point of ppc. Practical, home made performance The paint doesn't add anything, it would be nice.....but absolutely not necessary

@1240enzo Месяц назад

True but he could have spent a bit more time on it as it just would look nicer. Good build though 😁. My brother has heaps of these W108s from rusted out spare cars to a half reasonable 3.5V8 (actually he has 3 of these, but the other two are a project and spares car).

@ppcmagazine Месяц назад

It’s a temporary paint job while Mark gets the graphics spot on. It will get a proper paint job soon.
