Default Appeal to Ford fans and model collectors. Please read.

Bear with me on this one folks

I have started a petition online to try and convince various diecast model makes to produce 1:18 scale models of the Ford range.

This won't work if they don't think there is money in it so can everyone please sign the petition?

I know many don't see the appeal of collecting scale models but even if you think it's the saddest hobby in the world, can you please take 2 minutes to sign up?

To anyone that this does interest, please spread it to as many friends, clubs, forums etc as you can.

Thanks all for your time

I'm not too sure mate, but he's been talking to a company that has aleady made some Mk3 XR3's.

Check the RSOC BB in the S1 Section. He's at least 3-4 months into the process of getting it off the ground.

I'd have a look for you mate but I'm rushing down boozer to see Celtic getting humped in Europe!!!!

Stupid thing is I have a Sapphire Cossie myself

There's a chance that Sun Star are about to release a 1:18 2006 car but the 2007 is much better looking with the new bumper, arches and chrome Abu Dabi graphics

Another thing. Can anyone get this post up on German, French etc sites? International support is the next step
