Default The NEW Fast Ford

Thought I'd get a post up quick to beat Dojj to it

So here it is...



Let's see what lies within



Ford Fair in all it's huge show glory



The covercar.. a car I'm sure you're all familiar with.



Stu gets down and dirty with breather systems.



MTS Motorsport's nutty RS1600i



Have a look inside Bluesprint Motorsport



The Focus RS Ford should have built. Damn that white looks good.



The legend that is Gatebil. Enough said


ACE Cafe (again!) Buy hey, it's always a good laugh!


Crazy Irish dudes on the lock stops


JWRC inspired, Focus RS engined Fiesta


Massssssive turbo feature, packed with info.


Mmmm, moonstone

Plus there's a Puma buying guide, a random XR2 road trip, staff cars, and more...

I know its slow, and breaks down far too often. But at least I drove my car to England while you got on the plane to Norway... Until you drive your car here and show its what its good for on track you deserve the yourself

It's as slow as yours and I can't drift for shit, so the jeering would hurt my fragile ego.

Dont you start making excuses now
The time attack boys are getting more competitive now than when you were here. Even had a Carrera GT with slicks , you would beat that wouldnt you?

Pictures and video on my N95 that I broke last week
He was 6th in qualifying, and didnt enter the actual race. He stayed at Rica Hotel in Sarpsborg where the car was parked at night and keyed. Doubt he'll back unfortunately

What cars and specs out qualified him, and why did he not enter the race?

Keep it!! Stunning car, and you'd get back a fraction of what you've put into it.

Get yourself over here and have a look for yourself
One of the Skylines is a time attack winner from Japan.
The only Cossie in the time attack was 19th qualifying and 15th in the race. The rest was probably broken, as usual... Have a look in the mag for the rest of the Fords

@ Dan:

could you have a word with your subscrtiptions Dept for me (or pm me their phone number) as I still haven't received a copy since I joined up on a freebie @ Ford Fair

Edited:

Actually, ignore that. I have just got off my arse and found the number for subscriptions. Apparently I am set up to start with Novembers issue (released October 2008). not bad, seeing as I signed the paperwork @ Ford Fair

you have to differentiate between a book being full of words and possibly pictures and then going on to describe what a book full of pictures and no words is
