Read the feature today, it reads really well congratulations mate, a lot of time and money has obviously been expended to get her to that level.

Dave, If the magazine send you some nice pictures from the shoot, I can make you a few signature variations.

Read / saw the magazine last night, looks as great as ever Dave/Helen.
Well done on building such a mega specced car and retaining looks of a near on concours car. Not the easiest thing to acheive.

So then dare i ask folks.....

Whats next for YUM ?

Rather than starting another shameless thread, I'll post here as long as Dave doesn't mind?

In the shops from today, it's a rather yummy issue of Performance Ford...

A top bloke with a top car... read about the ups and downs of Mr Moss and YUM...


A rather nutty, twin-turbo supercharged Saff with nitrous... the poor pistons!


All the antics and the best cars from the Central RSOC group show at Santa Pod...


Inside Roush Technologies, the people behind the new Ford-approved tuning packs for the Fiesta AND Focus ST...


A pair of seriously cool, Mk1 Fiestas. Oldskool really is cool...


You all know and love him, so we put Paul and his track Fez against the Dorf...


Turbo Puma built from scratch on an '08 plate... if you haven't seen it before, it's well worth a look...


And in tech:

Nick gets his hands burnt while we all watch in a coolant additive group test, then help you look after your S2 in the rising heat with a turbo pre-rad, how to buy and mod the RS500, the MTX gearbox gets busted open, flow benches explained in Gambles rambles, and Mel shows you here pink wings (don't ask!), in If Mel Can...

Enjoy!

When people say "all steel" they tend to mean forged components not cast, either way, what fucking difference does it make? It says YB too and they are that standard as well, there isnt some rule that you arent allowed to mention on the front page of a mag anything that ford did
