Default the dojj monthly mag review - performance ford isn't crap shocker!!!

ok, so i've not yet had a look at classic ford, but this month, fast ford edges it over redline

although a mention also goes out to ppc and top gear as they were both equally enjoyable to read as normal

also mentions must go out for the ovlov that's yellow and quick, mainly for the thank you lines which went along the lines of "rod for the f1 spec looms and the q for his high speed driving tips"

i await next months battle with eager anticipation because, of all the car mags i get, this month didn't have a bad bit in any of them

I'd advise having a look through it in the shop before buying. You don't want to have to chase Glenny Boy for the cash

ok, having altered the title to reflect some stuff, i was pleasantly surprised after purchasing a copy of performance ford this morning

gone is the out-dated look of the mag, the pull out section format, and in it's place is a nicer layout that most people are used to, with the main featured cars at the start and the techy stuff at the back, rather than the techy stuff in the middle surrounded by featured cars slotted in higgeldy piggldey

other than the one school boy error in a feature (you can look it up yourselves if you want to, or the pf lads can post and ask which one it is ) this revamp HAS worked in making the mag better, the fitting guides for the acusump and the roll cage feature were very detailed and the explanations were easily understandable and the overall mag has been a much more relaxed read rather than the disjointed affair i was used to reading

ok, so it's not as "posh" an affair as the likes of redline/ff/topgear or even ppc are, but the difference has lessened in the same way as buying a skoda is now not a silly decision even though you'll be considered "cooler" tooling about in a cheap bottom of the line audi bceause of a snobbery issue

it's just missing that x factor to bring it back into the same sort of level as the aforementined mags, especially the likes of ff from whom we've come to expect fairly excellent stuff in

A+ for effort though, you are going in the right direction

but let me ask you, how old is that pic of stu

edited to say:

it may only be little old me who's bigging you up, but at least i'm not tearing you up because you have made me spend money of shite

and glenny can rest easy knowing that i won't be sending the pf mafia round looking for him to get my Ł4.20 back

Why would he want to chase me for the cash. Its a good read this month. I buy both fast ford and performance ford mags etern month. I sometimes buy classic ford mag too. I just love my fords and will always have a ford in my life.

Dave works for Mountune, so he's still in the game, he just escaped the fraught world of magazines. Nick went to work the garage that Retro Ford's Morley's old man owns.
