What you voting for? I went for blackwoods escort I love that car and has over 800hp to boot.

My choice too, that 3 door is very nice mind.

Hmm, but the RS1600i looks just so perfect in every way. The moonstone is also right up my street, decisions, decisions..

I wish i could get my saff featured. I was told a few years back that the cossie wasnt good enough.

Yeh i could try them. Its been in the RS rallye news mag twice now.

The guy who did the photo shoot at our RS club BBQ said unless it's got over 500bhp and had thousands spent on it they won't want to know. Stopped buying car mags there and then. Went onto other mags where they feature everything from the guy in his shed to big money cars

gjh

I stopped buying mags some time ago as it was getting out of hand with me, I would buy 4 or 5 a month sometimes. Decided to save myself some money, if I do buy a mag now its Dsport from the states, its an import mag but its got a lot of engine building articles and testing in it (nice models too), well worth looking at, but watch out for postage costs.

Both of Blackwood's cars are top class

The EsCos with the SCS lump is perfect

Yeh i think this is right. It might sound daft but i dont think ive seen a saff featured with standard brakes,ie brake calipers and standard size discs.

Imo i think ive got a good story to tell about my saff and the 10 years of ownership.

Ive been buying fast ford mag since the early 2000s. I should count up how much they have cost me lol. O dont think theres a month that goes by when there isnt a mk2 focus in the mag.

S1 for me....love it. Not all about big horsepower.

Why can't you just vote rather than fill out a form to use your spam you later .

Adam-M

I was thinking that Jay I dunno if it's to stop duplicate votes

Same here. I'm more interested in the story's of the trials and tribulations in building the car and graft and skinned knuckles rather than reading about how much money this persons spent and how much he paid someone to do it all. I skip right past them stories!

gjh

I had just over 1700 mags at one point, mostly ford, bit of everything though, like fast car, max power, cars and car conversion etc. I'd rather read a feature on an interesting story of one that's had a lot of DIY fabrication and the owners own ideas rather than a chequebook car, seen a few articles in the past on people who have done unusual engine/transmission conversions and they go through the difficulty of the conversion and you see pics of interesting work, that's what I like to read about.

gcfcos

Hit the nail on the head there mate

+1

I buy fast ford and classic ford every month but haven't bought performance ford as much as I used to as it seems to have gone a bit weird and don't get that much feature cars in it anymore. Have a flick through in the news agent and if something catches my eye then I'll buy it but it's not often at all nowadays

xr2john

You should try all the mags Glenn. Id but the mag to read the history of everything you've been through with it.

Or get a full on thread up on here from start to finish. I'm sure plenty of people on here would read that and get involved in the thread

John i started a thread about mine ages ago then i did another thread when i got the bodywork sorted and i had all that carry on with the first Bodyshop.

Wow it was june 2013 when i started that thread.

Adam-M

Can't remember if it was performance ford or fastford that did a feature on Daniel Batty's & his brothers 2wd saff and they where iirc 390bhp but very nicely put together so I don't think you need mega bhp but it would probably help lol.

They were in fast ford matey. 390 bhp is a bit more than mine. I think mines 300 ish.
