If anything mate it seems that a page was missed out ?

I hear that some people say that well known cars only were shown but my mates 3 door that I took has never been featured or shown in PF (as far as I'm aware) and they used pics of that.

I have no doubt someone from PF will come along and explain all in time

i dont think it would be because you
beat nutters and dingy's

what would be the point in having a rolling road day feature if they
were only intrested in 2 cars

Could just have been that the pics taken of your car on the rollers didnt work out too well, i mind at a ava mag day them putting a few cars back on later in the day to get betterpics to put in the mag.

Had the same thing at Bristol RSOC RR Day mid last year.

My car made 476bhp, highest on the day.

Was run last due to predicted highest output (and the likelihood of it exploding on the rollers leaving oil everywhere ).

Photographer bloke had photoed the previous 12 cars and said he didn't need car no 13 as I drove the car out triumphantly!

Despite me filling in the form he dished out at the start of the day to the cars he wanted to photo

That was my fave Fast Ford mag as well, coonts
