and they were great features! just need to find more of them you build 'em mate, we'll feature 'em!

hi guys. this issue was an escort special, which is why it had a few more escorts than usual in it - which is kinda the point. but it also did have a cortina, capri, anglia(van), fiesta... as for other issues we always have a good mix of car models in there. we do however have a lot of escorts on the cover as they sell issues for us so to continue producing the mag that needs to happen. i can understand the upset if all there was to read was the cover but that isn't the case. do me a favor and look through the last six months and count up the feature cars that aren't escort. you'll be surprised. if you don't read the mag though you won't be able to do that so please don't comment on it. conor. i hear what you're saying about the cf show turnout but the massive majority of classic fords on the scene are escorts and we are being representative. as for a 3.0s wing it's a wing off of a 3.0s i don't think we said it was different from any other mk3 wing did we? copey. as stated we have lots of other non escort models in the mag and have had a few yanks in there this year rick. you don't get more unique than the 105e with an mg turbo motor in we featured last issue. or an s2000=powered mk1 escort. rotory powered 600bhp cortina...

Thanks guys. Means a lot.

Nice one Ben, cheers mate.

Thanks for that Jo and all the admin staff. Very kind of you. Obviously I'll still be on here when I leave and I'm sure I'll see a lot of you around at shows etc. Thanks for all your imput and help over the last few years and I'm sure the new Ed will keep up the hard work that the CF put in to the mag. Cheers Steve

Cheers Jo. See you Saturday.

A car as great as yours was always gonna look the Bollox mate. You should have said you were bringing your twin along to the shoot though...

Cheers mate. The fact that Tickfords wouldn;t let us shoot inside their building was a little difficult but it worked out ok in the end.

No probs Tony, great to have such a cool car in the mag.

Love the way you can turn a small comment in a caption into a slagging, Steve. Ah well, new wheels look nice mate.

... has your old glorious leader Ben Birch come back using the user name Fonz? Apparently his name is now Rich but he still has the email address of rfben2@yahoo.co.uk Everybody together, heeeey Cunninghaaaam!

Blimey! Well done to Ron!

fiddler. You should be called Cwis!

I was building up to it. I'm more of a motor boat man anyway

You will mate. It'll be nice to go to the shows and events and not have to run around like a mad man for a change!

Don't blame me mate!

Cheers Jo. Might see youon the strip at next year's OSFDC. You can blow all four of my doors off.

No new job mate. Lottery win.

Cheers mate, you'll probably never get it.

He got sacked Ha ha!

Cheers boys!

Was a great day guys and I hope you enjoy the feature. Looking forward to OSF L2B 2008.

the official on sale date is next tuesday, but it has been hitting certain shops early the last few issues so could be around tomorrow. subscribers should have it already.

to me, to you.. oh, I dropped it.... Classic!
