2.1tony Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 After talking to a few people , i think i am right in assuming that retroford wont be covering brighton speed trials, shame that cos their coverage of osfdc in my opinion is great and i,m sure they would have done an equally good job , So surely now up must step mr phillips and classic ford mag and seize the opportunity to put a smile back on some of his disgruntled readers faces and plaster his pages with words & pictures of our own mk2 jo, v6col, & ron harris, i for one will be there cheering them on with many others from our osf family , and mr phillips in case you dont know who they are, they will proudly have WWW.OLDSKOOLFORD.CO.UK on their cars , anyone agree with me i,ll get my coat then
viv-ashton Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 yes i fully agree lets see some osf,s in classic ford doing the buisness
Mr.Sumo Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Totally agree mate...be nice to see some OSF"s giving the plastic fantastics a run for there money
Danmex Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 What date is it on I might have to pop down this year.
Admin Mk2Jo Posted September 6, 2006 Admin Report Posted September 6, 2006 I think you are right guys - there will also be other old skool fords taking part so there should be some good cars to cover .... so, Gareth Charlton .. new man at Classic Ford .... I know you will read this ... you need to get down there and cover the Speed Trials Just a footnote to this .... sadly I will now not be racing as Dave and I have parted company after 5 years .... however, Dave will still be racing the car there along with Colin and Ron. After 4 years of waiting to take part I am gutted but hopefully, I will be there next year
Gareth Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Just a footnote to this .... sadly I will now not be racing as Dave and I have parted company after 5 years .... however, Dave will still be racing the car there along with Colin and Ron. After 4 years of waiting to take part I am gutted but hopefully, I will be there next year Sorry to hear that Jo. Wait til next year thenblow 'em away
caprifan Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 sorry to hear that Jo hope all is ok
Admin Mk2Jo Posted September 6, 2006 Admin Report Posted September 6, 2006 Cheers guys .... back to the original subject (sorry Tony ) Looks as though Retro Ford may well be covering the event now ... good news for all competitors in Old Skool Fords .... it really is a fantastic event
Posse Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 i reckon both mags should go then have a big fight and get rid of the animosity then make up and just get on with pushing out some more good issues out.
Col-ashtonmobile Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Who said we weren't going?! Ben sorry m8 i told 2.1tony you were,nt covering it cos when i spoke to ben b he said he may try & get down , perhaps i misunderstood
aphspeed Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 i reckon both mags should go then have a big fight and get rid of the animosity then make up and just get on with pushing out some more good issues out. Animosity? What animosity? We love Retro Ford and the two Bens — they make us look good! Only joking ! Actually I think the two mags are just getting on with their own thing but obviously there's gonna be some competition between the teams - it's part of the job really. Ben and Ben, if we bump into you at Brighton we'll buy you a beer and give you a big hug (actually, maybe not the hug bit)! Steve, CF
Posse Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 nice that will make a great picture feel the love not

tim Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 guna say if no mag is covering the event,give me a media bib and ill take some pics for the mag
over_head_cam Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Why do you need a bib Tim? In case you spill your dinner
Tom Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Animosity? What animosity? We love Retro Ford and the two Bens — they make us look good! Only joking !

'animosity, what animosity'
tim Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 darrens favourite word since the rsoc nat day animosity
aphspeed Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 you so know that that isn't gonna be taken as a joke steve. 'animosity, what animosity' Probably not mate but it was meant as one. Ok so there is a bit of friction between the two mags, but like I said it goes with having competition. The thing is though, I've never even spoken to the other editor and only a bit with the dep ed - and that was when he was being featured in Classic Ford - so for my part I've got nothing against either of 'em as I don't know them, I'm sure they both top guys - they're into classic Fords for a start! I think both teams are just trying to do what's best for there mag which is what we've gotta do. Like I said, if I bump into them I'll buy them a drink. I can't say fairer than that. Steve, CF
aphspeed Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 u could buy us all a drink Waters all round on my wages - you can have a squash though Tim! Steve
Tom Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 yeah, sounds good. see you at our next ace cafe meet steve. your round
faster Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 It's very easy to say things on a forum that gets taken the wrong way. Mr Phillips i would have thought that you of all people would know that by now after many a heated debate on several forums. I have been told that Morley has been getting about on Forums for a couple of years now in various guises (mk1morley, Morley, RFMorley) and i think it's fair to say that he is not only a Forum whore, but i think he learnt his lesson about what to put in a post... Although some on here are quite random. There is nothing better than sorting something out in person in my opinion. If there are any beers being got in, mine will be a Grolsch please. If we are fighting, i will be in the corner begging you not to hit my face. As i have said before, there is no point in the two mags bitching at eachother, they both have their own strengths and weaknesses. But having two mags makes it makes it better for us the people that love Old Fords. Now, back onto the Subject of Brighton Speed Trials...
