you did the story and the photo shoot on my car and it was you that recommended my car to classic ford, I don't want to argue just wanted to show that they still don't print all features forwarded by journo's so others don't get there hopes up like I did.
to jog your memory I had a dark blue mk1 with sierra injection.
Would love to join in but my car is in rebuild, wonder if it will be good enough for them this time round. A very disillusioned small ford fan

No problems Grump...I remember your car, and as I also recall a change in Editor, late submission and other factors meant the car was featured in Australia.

Actually the 'B' Grade magazine your refer too - Performance buildups has never paid me for the text I wrote for that story....so that makes two of us who have been stung. None the less, the car is and always will be a stunner in my eyes - with probably the best ever engine bay ever.

That's my opinion for what ever it's worth.

I'd be happy to havew pics of your car for the daily article if you choose.

Ok let me just recap.....

Grab your digital camera....keep in in handy reach....and for the week of;

Saturday 24th March...to...Saturday 31st March

Take a picture of EVERY single Classic Ford you see. Be it on the road, in a shed, or parked at Woolworths.

Burn it a disc, send it too me, and send some text about what you saw, how hard it was to come across Old Fords etc.

Bottom line.....YOU ARE NOW EMPOWERED BY CLASSIC FORD MAGAZINE! Represent your local area, and showcase what Classic Fords, live, breathe and operate in your immediate daily routine.

Man I feel like I'm sending forth an Army!

Viva La Classic Fords![88][88][88][88]

Ok let's see what we have.....If your in, say so and also include what state/city your from.

Cheers

I reckon I'll give it a go. I know there is always at least one escort on the way to work.
Sometimes I see an RS2000 or two getting around.
Not sure how I will go spotting the others listed, since Escorts are what usually catch my eye.

I am from Newcastle, NSW for your information.

Surely there's someone out there in those states willing to take a few pics?

Cheers
