i think performance ford have always been shit. My mate even works at performance ford

I think fast ford is is a great interesting read, BUT like people have said v can read it in a cup of tea and pack of hobnobs lol.

However the last fast ford with the rs2000 in was a great read and u could use the article about the history of the rs2000over and over again. I really like fast ford but dont get it every month as over 4quid for a mag takes the piss

Ford thrash was EPIC! The weather was lush and the atmosphere of all of the big ford boys there AND seeing them run was just brilliant.

It would be interesting to see how things have changed for all of the cars that went last year.

I bought this month's fast ford and as oters have said, it took me hardly anytime to read it. Over Ł4 for basically a parts catalogue is steep. And has been said, not enough variety though I can see the issue of the cars not being built.

Whats a big Ford boy . The really fast cars getting together stopped around 6 years ago now.
Performance Ford was the mag that had all the fast car thrash's on a regular basis not Fast Ford. Its a pity that Dan can no longer do this as he is as good for Fast Ford as Dave was for PF they simply imploded when he left a pity that. Im not interested in all those Foci cars can see them at Tesco's & the Mega Cossie is well & truelly dead so the mags struggle to get my interest. I buy them both because if we dont they will disappear .

Not being funny, but not everyone's interested in big power, ridiculously expensive cossies. Thats what people mean when they say "you cant please everyone".

To be fair though it's not just PF or FF that have this problem. With th old fords, particularly RF, there is always an escort without fail. I want to see more mk1/2 fiesta's, mk3 escorts, granada's and corsairs get a look in.

Of course not thats why i dont buy Gay News it dont interest me, although Mike R aint bad from certain angles .
I like facts about a car not fiction which is why i ignore all quoted Power figure without some sort of back-up & saying a car is fast dont cut -it with me, you need to time them. Luca doing 183.9 with 470 & Yum doing 178.8 with 440 are probably the best times ive ever seen on Topspeed runs & a winner with me, not the fastest but certainly the nearest to optimum.
As you can see its the maths that interest me not Bling or talk, hence the mags have moved away from my interest, but probably now much better if you like Bling, Foci or wrapping .
