December edition

[Col-ashtonmobile]

Right then....i'm just going to try something here....

 

Because there is an Anglia on the cover, you assume it's all Anglias? Ignoring the Capri's and the Escorts and the show reports which are in there.

 

Some of you, you know who you are, are so fu.ucking quick and desperate to get a little dig in that you forget to actually look properly. And you're just as bad Phillips; yeah, an Editor, on the cover, actually contributing to the magazine, not just freelancing it all out.

 

And as for the rest of you, you're only having a dig because you know Bob, and you know Marty and you know Ben, and while you'd never actually admit it, you think, or at least you wish you could do better. But itnstead of looking at it as the great feature that it is you have to slam it, before you've probably even looked at it and for some odd reason, take it all very personally.

 

And before anyone chimes in, this is my forum voice and my opinion. I'm no part of the mag anymore bar a few old features which have to be used up. I have nothing to gain from this, I just feel it has to be said, mainly becuase I couldn't say it when I was on the mag.

It reminds me of early 70s HOT CAR mag cover. FTW

[Wessie]

TOP ISSUE, TOP MAG if you dont like it stop moaning

[danny69]

Good Mag, as always I like the creative Front cover

 

There is no harm in the editor being a little self indulgent from time to time, atleast you get a bit of the passion and the personal touch.

 

But there is a good range of cars and I personally like to see the home builds and the old skool tuning that we have seen featured of late.

[Daggle]

Best issue for a while, great cover too, top work

[mk1super]

Another top issue! Good mixture of cars from Capris to Anglias and escorts too but then i admit iam bias

[Boreham]

Ben and RF team , i love this magazine! best to date yet!(even saved a bit of my dinner money to buy it )

 

i know how much dedication you put into the magazine, and also whats wrong with having an anglia on the front cover? personally i dont see why a majority of people are moaning?

We take it for granted we know the whole story - We judge a book by its cover and read what we want between selected lines ~

Darren , you are quite correct , i don't know the whole story , in fact i know none of it . It just seems to me that recently anytime Ben is mentioned , a lot of snidey digs and sarcastic comments are made to which , i assume , he can't answer in a way he would like to due to his professional position .

Looking from the outside in and not knowing any of the 'history' it came across as a touch of envy for which i apologise if i'm wrong

[zetecmk2]

Fooking love RF.

It was RF which made me rush out and buy my first Esci the same w/e.

Bit of a hasty purchase in hindsight, but RF was solely responsible for returning me to the OSF scene.

 

Top work Ben, keep it up mate. Love it

[happysnappy]

Top issue as usual

By far the best fordy mag.

[Wessie]

retro ford's a great magazine and used to feature alot of OSF cars but now ben, bob, marty and even neil who all used to be big parts of OSF, arent on here anymore, i can see why thanks to all the bitchy comments and moaning on here nowadays

Yes your right mate, Retro Ford did use to feature lots of OSF cars, in fact, i think its safe to say that 70 % of the mag used to be OSF, which we were grateful for the publicity, but on the other side, if it wasn't for OSF, R/F wouldn't be where it was today, As for the members mentioned, they are still on here, maybe they dont post anymore but still take an interest, some of them using aliases

[Mk 1 Mark]

Know the guys who work on the mag.

 

And know alot of the guys on this site.

 

Excellent Mag, Excellent Site....

 

Lets just leave the the playground stuff for the playground!!

 

It reminds me on Hornswoggle doing stand up

Its not big and very funny

 

Feel the luvvv
