Ok...Ive been wanting to do an article where I could get the entire forum involved...and finally after 6 months of thinking - I've cracked it!
This is a chance for everyone on this forum to get involved with an article in Classic Ford Magazine UK, and have their names...and possibly cars featured at the same time!
I think our scene here in Australia is one of the worlds most vibrant, and I am constantly show casing what we have, and how cool it all is down under. I have now got the idea for a single article that takes in all corners of our fair country....and I need your help!
DAILY DRIVEN CLASSIC FORDS!
The article will document what the Classic Ford forum members have seen in their daily travels for a one week period (7 days). As long as you have a digital camera...you can be involved. There is no limit to the amount of people who can take part, nor the limit of shots that will be accepted. Obviously the shots will be sorted for the very best ones once they have been received.
Along with the pictures, you will need to submit the following info;
1 - State/city where the pics were taken
2 - Overview of cars shot - I.e. how ofetn you saw the cars, how many you saw etc.
Now here's the best bit....I will assure anyone who submits pics and text will have either their forum name or full real name listed on the article.
So who wants in? I plan to use the following dates as the 'week' this article is captured;
Start - Saturday 24th March
Finish - Saturday 31st March
After the shots have been taken, and you have filled out your small text requirment, simply send them on a disc to the following address;
Attention - Racin Jason O'Halloran
500 South Road
Kurralta Park
SA 5037
*NOTE - DO NOT EMAIL THEM TOO ME AS THEY WILL CLOG UP MY SERVER!
I will accept discs up until two weeks after Monday 2nd April. So that's it....who's in for showcasing our daily driven Classic Ford scene to the UK? Come on don't be shy, this is your chance to show the world how cool Australia and it's old cars real is.
Oh and what sort of cars are we chasing....Well that's simple, here's a list;
Any Anglia
Any Escort
Any Capri (As long as it's RWD[;^)])
Any Cortina
Any Zepher or Zodiac
Any Falcon before the XD
- XK, XL, XM, XP, XR, XT, XW, XY, XA, XB, XC
