OK, so it's not a full feature unfortunately, but 3 pictures of it in this months Performance Ford mag, is part of a dream come true. I grew up reading car mags day in, day out and always hoped 1 day I would see a car that I built on the pages of a mag.
It was a club shoot not just my car, but was a great write up for the Dorset RS owners club though.
Just need to keep working towards a proper feature now.

Well done fella. I'd love that to. Bet your over the moon

 

See ur from bournemouth few of us get together quite regularly

 

Yeah feeling quite good about it. A certain sense of pride too being as I built it myself, outside in the cold. Build thread is on here somewhere but I'm crap with taking pics so not the best thread.

And yes from Bournemouth, so have probably seen you around Rikki. Where do you meet up?

cheeRS

 

All over the place mate ill give u a shout when we do

 

i too had the same thing about wanting my car in a mag, my old range rover went straight into a mag as soon as it was finshed, its a great feeling isnt it

 

I'd l0ve to be in a mag one day.

 

this was mine

from this



to this

 

No chance!

 

Sadly I can't say mine is as much an achievement as yr Range. By comparison a simple rebuild, but the feeling is the same I guess. To say "I built that", and know every nut and bolt inside out gave me a proud feeling when I saw it in the mag yesterday.
I know some of you are mag feature regulars, and potentially this may seem a petty thread to some, but for the others out there that are building their motors over the winter and fighting the elements while doing so (the Mrs included lol!), it's worth it in the end.
Just one of those things that as a school boy growing up reading the mags, you imagine yr own creation there one day.

Well done mate, I'd be made up.

Benni

 

I am Benni. Was quite chuffed that the pic showed the custom bonnet vents I have too. I had louvres cut and pressed into a 2wd bonnet rather than the std mod of a 4x4 bonnet. It's the small things I guess.

Send some pics and spec to fastford@futurenet.co.uk and I'll get it in an even bigger mag if you like!

 

Nice going. Its my one regret not getting mine in a mag. Both PF and FF offered but it was never quite finished in my eyes. Now ive no longer got it Prize idiot me

 

Fair play mate, be proud. Theres been a couple of pictures of mine in mags from meets over the last couple of years and it is pretty cool to see.

I've never been bothered by having my car featured though, for some reason it's never interested me.

 

well done mate. i had my orion ghia in a mag once, great picture of it, exchange and mart was the mag, does this count??? only joking of course. great news and happy for you. i guess that's what everyone wants after building their own car.

 

No way is it petty mate, i'd love to have the skills to do what you've done so i think you should justifiably be proud of what you've done .
Miaow, saucer of milk over here for Dan please .

 

Nice one mate!! Where did you all meet???
Didnt realise the Dorset rsoc was very active lol
When's your meets, will pop along some time

 

Don't you need you RS running to do that Jamie?


It is nice when you get in a magazine, I was fortunate enough to have my old Sierra in Performance ford 3 times as parts of other features

 

I won Ł50 of cleaning stuff in readers cars with my cortina retro ford

 

Nice one matey.Ive had a few pics of mine in fast ford mag a few times.

 

I've had loads of mag features

Ok, I've had a a few pics and some letters and my name in about 5 in the past 12 years

Nice one mate I always get excited when I see the fastford ad for central day as for the last few years they have used the pic of mine and my mates 2 white saffs on white comps launching at the pod

 

... Result!

Im there

 

Thought so mate lol

 

yeah was good mag that dan, couldnt believe they had a nice pic and comment about my yellow shitter too lol

 

You put yr car down too much mate, it's actually a good solid car and only needs a bit of touching up. Brings a touch of the different to the club too. Can't wait for the show season to start again, especially as I have my new rims to go on.

cheeRS

 

Hi cossiedad, where did you buy your range rover from" Did you buy it from west Sussex because it looks like my dads old range rover. Reg D251FHM. I have a picture of it but it has it's private reg on it, I will dig it out and post for you.

 

Not my Range mate. That was caviedaway. Looked like a lot of work and a great end result.

cheeRS

 

Sorry mate, my mistake!, yes it looks a nice bob tail. It definatly looks the same car, my dad only I'd to drive it twice a week as best! It looks like its well loved thou!

 

Looks like the last couple of mags our cars have been in again matey!

 

My Taxi is in the months Fast ford. At combe forge day.
only a under bonnet pic but nice all the same.

 

Yeah I spotted my yellow heap there too, well chuffed they didn't think it was a heap lol!

 

Feels good when you see pics, or even a full feature of your car in a mag, makes all the money and hard work worthwhile!

 

Defo mate mine always looks better in the photos than real life too lol

 

Lol, very true, although mine was done in the winter and where he used some fill in flash here an there, it showed a few marks up...

 

Has yours been in the mags mate? Fill in flash sounds like a very professional term lol, no idea what it means though

 

Ive had a few pics of my saff in the mags over the years too. It had a 4 page feature in the rallie news mag last year.
