Default Max Power Escort RS turbo feature, who's cars?

Hi guys,

April’s copy of Max power magazine (I know it’s shockingly crap) had a feature on RS turbo’s.

It featured a Red series 2 with 7 spoke diamond cut RS alloys and a mint series 1. I remember the owner of both these cars posting on the PF forum.

Does anyone know who this member is / how to contact them?

Kind regards
Pete

The one at SantaPod?

Remember USL was there with her red S2 and "USL's Bucket"

I think one of the quotes from her was "comeon get yer aaahse out, I faaackin will!"

OMG, what the HELL has happened to Max Power - it is borderline respectable! No birds to be seen - or at least very few - decent cars, RST's MR2's Porker's.... I was shocked - lets hope it carries on like this.

my old boss said and he quoted
" the bugatti veyron is 3000bhp, and it loses 1000 through cooling, and 1000 through transmission...."

said his 12 yr old son told him, who had read it in max power....

They had an almost total re-staffing.
Inc the editor who, IIRC, previous to this mag, had absolutley no experience of the car scene in his life Deffo reads like it.

Person I had in mind was Neil Hunt, who, though its never really shown as they always dumb the mag down for the younger readers, really knows his shit with regard to cars and tuning.

Did he always run Revs mag then ? upto last year I owned their project Escort, the orange Mk2 they did it 1996.

Despite having a shed load of money thrown at it there was some serious issues with that shell before they even started
