Thumbs up New PERFORMANCE FORD mag out NOW!

Hot onto the shelves today is the new issue of Performance Ford... inside it you will find:

The car that really needs no introduction, but here goes anyway... Andrew Gallacher's incredible new Focus Cosworth! Don't forget to enjoy the special fold-out cover this month and we've even thrown in a quality A2 poster for you to enjoy in your shed / garage as well!



Malcom Wilson's road-going RS1700T. The last one left, and he should know as he was driving them in South Africa... read all about it this month!


The PF Crail thrash! Nutters galore, but we love 'em! Some cool cars and more normal folk were in attendace too...


It's three-door versus Saff this month in a very comedic 'Grudge Match'...


QEP get the PF Profile treatment, see what these guys can do for your Ford...


It was the best day out of the office in a long while, 720bhp of AVRO, Roush tuned Ford GT saw to that... what a car!


Rally-style Escos takes on the DORF, but did he give him a spanking, or not?


Neat Birkbeck-built Ka reveals small cars can have major bite!


Plus...

In tech, we put performance diesel fuels to the test, have a go at flocking in a DIY-style fashion, talk carbon fibre in Experts' Corner, reveal what to look for when buying the Fiesta RS Turbo, the MT75 gets box busted and so much more...

Enjoy!

We'll be sorting out some cool new desktops very soon!

There will no doubt be some kind of update on here to let people know when they are sorted and put up

Both ford mags look the biz these days, keep up the good work.

LOL - yes, but you try describing that the engine is now moved back as it is with the seperate front diff etc in two words or less!


Thanks everyone else, glad you're liking the issue!

Gary - yes that's still the plan, got to arrange a few drinks around the event but I can't see it being a problem. Just don't expect us there for 8AM - That's not gonna happen! lol

Also, as Nick has pointed out there will be some cool desktops available very soon, but we'll make sure you guys are aware of it as and when they're available.

Cheers,

Dave

It's fast Mike! lol, but no surprise there!

Above 4000rpm is pretty intense...

As Nick has said, thanks everyone for the great feedback, we do really appreciate it!

Great cover, and AG FoCos is awesome, the 1700T feature was great and ( as a S2 owner ) liked the Readers S2 build...........

But.......... I judge each months PF/FF issue by the time spent reading it ( and re-reading it) ......and found this months a bit light of content.


BTW, Nick/Dave......

Not a criticism but.......(as a long term reader who buys every issue) feel that the monthly Buyers Guide feature should be canned (at least for a while)
Been a ever-present article for what 3-4 yrs+ now???
(and with only 20 odd' relevant Ford models)
So repeat Buyers Guides every 12-18 mths, with almost identical content to the previous time the model was featured, virtually copy & pasted from back issues.
