Correct! I get to got to most of the UK shows with them and maybe a few European ones. What do i get to do if it was in Total Vauxhall? Go on the stand at PVS?

but lets be honest, how many nice vauxhalls which are worthy of a feature are there in the uk?
The front cover of Performance Ford last month was a car from the US, and it's rare for them not to have a car from outside the UK in the mag, PVW this month has a feature with 2 American cars, and they frequently feature cars from mainland Europe, they even cover American/European shows FFS, Golf+ feature European cars regularly, Fast Ford is the same, as is PBMW, and BMW Car, in fact, I can't think of another mag which concentrates on UK cars so much.
There's no need to only feature UK cars, I know it's called Total Vauxhall, and anything from outside the UK is an Opel, but they've done it before (I can think of one cover which wasn't a UK car in the whole of the mag's life) but they've not done it recently, the most far away a feature car has been from recently is Ireland 
There's far more to the 'Vauxhall' scene than just the UK, and there must be hundreds of feature worthy cars on the mainland.
I suppose they won't feature them though, they might have been in another mag, which we can't buy here

Its just stupid they wont allow them to feature cars already done in another mag. A lad i know has a stupidly clean nova that can't be featured becuase it was in Fast Car 1996 or something 
If anyone knows Nicks red concourse nova that was for sale a bit ago, they werent going to offer a feature to that because they thought they had already featured it when it had never been featured at all

Exactley Robin, and also IMo they never reply to people wanting a feature
iirc OJC spent ageeeessss trying to get one, same with alot of people
even me, in a selfish way, wanted mine feature when it was all working, and minted with the cage etc, but never even got a response to tell me its not good enough etc (which id find suprishly given some of the stuff they have featured)
the "scean" will never grow because of some of these things

ive been kicked back by them twice now, not bothered about it anymore, if they did want to feature it, that'd involve getting it out the garage!

They won't do mine because its been in Fast Car. But i fail to see how its a competition between those two mags as on is dedicated to one brand and the other is general modified cars.
agreed,they should put your car in,its changed so much

Stop buying TV a while ago now. Only buy it for the odd car feature eg.DHdev (Oli's) Nova last month. I think its not very good at all.
REDLINE is the only Car mag I buy regulary anymore. They have some really decent material in it now. I was especially impressed with this and last months Turbo guide! Some great Info.
