first up, got to big up dan for running around like a headless chicken the likes of which i've never seen him before at ford fair this year, literally he didn't have a moment to spare as he normally does but even so, he wasn't rude or didn't ignore me, you could just tell he was busy so i didn't pester him (i pestered jamie instead )

and secondly, to ben (who started the disappointing fast ford thread) who i am sure will be forgiven by all when it's pointed out to him that there is a big "part one" at the start of the show report pages and a big "to be continued" at the other end along with the words "to cram in all the other stuff we couldn't get in this issue"

ok, at first i was disappointed because dan normally has some sort of wrestling captions when he writes my name on an envelope, no wittyness

secondly, the mag seemed a little short on pages too

but never fear, its even more packed with stuff than previously so either they have found a way to make more pages take up less space or there is just more stuff now that grotty grannies no longer populate some of the pages

and i'm sure it took a bit of persuading for simon (classic ford) to not do the mk2 fiesta feature

and obviously we wouldn't be a review if we didn't mention the 5 pf @ the ace pages towards the end either

all in all, a very good mag considering all the time issues with ford fair an all that
