Ignoring the fact that it was stuffed full of stupid scratch cards and ads, was there supposed to be stickers with it?

Edit: and that bodykitted ka in your cars? It 2010 guys I bought a ka with the EXACT same spec as that 2 years ago for 100quid why waste mag space with it?

 

You sure you are talking about the right mag

And pics of your ka or it didn't happen

Yes there were stickers with mine, the kids stuck them to everyconcicable surface on which they would be most difficult to remove too, the little darlings

 

It was my third ka bought it for the gearbox and few other bits, it was a ex show car for total auto, looked like a turd the only difference to the one in ff is that mine had silver 17"s, bucket seats and a fiber glassed dash and doors with a big shit sound system

 

i got stickers with me

 

Changing the subject slightly (sorry in advance) How do you go about getting a car mag featured never done it or looked into it so a heads up on how to would be great and which mags are best to aim for? its a ford ofc.

 

there is a little mini feature on my mates car that im building

red fez from fez in the park on performance trim stand

full feature coming soon

 

I got the stickers and now my work van looks like a chav-tastick boy racer car wait till my boss see it next week!

 

Is the scotch corner all ford meet featured in the mag. I will be buying it today anyway.

 

I got stickers with mine


Brian

 

Have to go and buy that later, must admit though some months i feel im buying it for the sake of it as to just keep going with getting it every month.

 

The rst? 480bhp? Christ that would be fun

 

I got some in mine.

Got bored this morning so the missus woke up with an 'RS' sticker on one nipple and an 'ST' sticker on the other

 

I left my stickers on the side in Asda as i didn't have the need for them

Also you have to remember that not everyone has a 600bhp track prep'd car thats got parts valuing a mortgage inside - we all started somewhere, i once had a mk1 Orion Ghia i payed Ł17.90 for plus some people apparently actually like the Ford Ka

 

Oi I love ka's I had 3 of them my point was that why would you put a 90's spec halfords magnet ka in the mag? Look at all the projects on here why not put them in instead?

 

Poor lad

I see what you mean

 

How many cars in the your cars bit do you look at and think hmmm I'd like to own that? Pvw do a build not bought part in their mag that's what ff needs

 

i think its good to have a range of different types of ford cars gets a bit boring that every feature car has to be 1000 bhp

 

i think its all boring, only buy it when goin on a train or plane now and still dont really look at it

and pf too, a fiver a shot too pfff

 

I'm not saying it should be full of 1000bhp cars that you would have to remorgage the house to build but it shouldn't be full of sheds either
I'd like to see more stuff done that I havnt seen before, when the last time ff featured a car with a standard engine? We should be able to look in the mag and see fresh new ideas the mag should be pushing the scene forward instead of being a broken record.
Just look at the way the vw scene has developed in the last few years because they were brave enough to try something new.

 

take some pics
write a brief tech spec
email any of the names that you will find at either fast ford, performance ford, classic ford, retro ford, ppc, redline, max power, fast car, total vauxhall, etc

 

i agree, some dub inspiration is needed in ford mags, they also have that bit with cars (and bikes sometimes) from all over the world, all makes and models for little ideas plently of fords to hotrods to bmw's, absolutely everything

makes it nice to see something different, ive stopped buying fastford now unless theres something in it i really like, or a nice freebee haha. theres about 3 or 4 different ones i get now depending on whats in them

 

The best of the net section? Yea I love that bit.
I'm not a fan of vee dubs in the slightest but most of my mates are, if there's a pvw lying about i will alway read it because it such a well put together mag, well worth Ł4.something and they never have to give anything away to try and sell it
i've been buying ff for many years and will continue to do so but I hope they start to move it on abit for everyones sake

 

I've gotta say that xr4i track car was the bollox!!! Never wanted an xr4i until now. Oh and not fast ford but in performance ford, on the cover, the jam sport Q-plate. Awsome or what??!!

 

We can only put in what people send in! I'd love to fill it full of fresh ideas, but if there aren't many out there it's not our fault. It's much easier to get a feature if your car's got something innovative, or unique for that very reason.

There are some great projects on here, but if they aren't sent in we can't just rip them off the site.

Agreed that Ka was rather borderline, but it's not often we get a Ka sent in, so we used it.

We're also trying to 'move it on' by featuring more new school stuff... But then the old school fans complain...

As the saying goes - you can't please all the people all the time!

 

well i might be on my own here but i love fast ford from cover to cover and read it many times over until i get the next issue in the post!
id love to see a feature on that 480bhp frst

 

See some people like it

 

dont worry
its runnimg now so keep buying the mag and you shall se

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

I'm not in anyway bashing the mag Dan, I'm just saying with a few small tweeks it could really get the ball rolling, mad idea; how about I find something different/fresh and do a review, email it to you if you don't like it bin it. if you do, post a mini feature up here and
gauge interest and see where it goes

 

Feel free to mate... dan.white@futurenet.co.uk

 

I love fastford and performance ford mags, get them every month without fail. As dan says if the fresh ideas arent out there they can't be featured, its not the mags fault if anything its the forums fault. Anytime on here people try something new (to the ford world) i.e euro styling, they get slated to fook about it. It does seem nowadays that people arent as daring/willing to try something new.

 

well funny, be interested to see what you come up with though.

 

Got stickers with mine also, personally Fast Ford is main one i read as i do personally prefer it over Performance Ford

 

i dunno why but i cant stand performance ford

 

I agree with that.I own a cossie and love it but i would get we sick if thats all that was in the mags.

 

I think performance ford mag is good this month too.

 

yes i also think both are good reads i always enjoy f.ford usualy read them a good few times until the next one comes through the door

 

I look through them a few times then read what i want to read then put them in my boxes with the rest of them from the years gone by.

 

Hmmm this could be harder than it sounds

 

When you realise some of the constraints we're up against, you'll find coming up with suitable features is more difficult than it sounds.

If it's a one-off type feature that's cool, but if it's a series you have to be VERY sure you can do it every month - otherwise you'll end up with situations such as how a certain mag wastes two pages every month explaining why they can't run the 'Beat the Dwarf' feature.
