Well fear not - I'm looking for some more cars to go in the 'Fast Fanatics' reader's cars section of the mag. As long as it's a Ford, is modified and isn't a minger then I'll get it in the mag!

All I need from you is an email with a brief spec and details about the car and no more than 4 pics. Pics MUST be at least 1meg in size, and be decent pics (not cropped or blurred). Please don't send shed loads, and no crappy phone pics, sorry!

The better the photos, the more chance you have of going in, and the bigger we can use them!

Send them to dan.white@futurenet.co.uk.

I can't tell you when they'll appear in the mag, as it all depends on what else is going in the issue, so don't ask.

Yup, anything goes! It's a good place to get weird and wacky stuff in that we might not otherwise be able to feature.

The section is always in the mag so ongoing I imagine, I'm guessing Dan just wants the more the merrier?

Got it in one!

It's a regular fixture, I'm just drumming up some interest, as it always goes a bit quiet over the winter!

Do they have to be currently owned? ...one of my mates had a wicked looking Fiesta RS Turbo that I could send a few pics in of, and I'd like to see pics of my old bean tin in a magazine.


Cheers,

Thats the sort of thing i'd rather see to be honest. Cars that owners have put serious graft into deserve some recognition.

What have you got to loose - send a couple of pictures in!

I've never told you I wouldn't feature it because it's green? I probably said I wouldn't put it on the cover! Send me some recent pics, and I'll take a serious look at a full feature.

Which car is it? If I've said I'll put it in the mag then I will!

Very few feature cars are '50 grand track slags', or 500bhp Cossies. The bulk of the cars we feature are attainable. By all means send me some pics.

Car looks cool. I'll have a proper look when I'm back in the office and will get back to you.

Cheers to everyone who's sent pics in, I'll reply to you all when I'm back at work!

I might try and be sneaky and go for a second feature when my car has all carbon bodypanels and is lightened to fuck.

its a known fact that cosworths sell ford mags but you do need variety also,theres loads of lads that drive xr's and rs fiestas and a nice one in the mag i think balances things out nicely with the cosworths,yours is a nice colour too.
