improving the mag for 2009

[BIG G]

Whats the plans to improve the mag for 2009 as i personally think its propper nosed dived in content and the writing quality has dropped. I my self can see this mag not keeping its head above water for much longer the way its going. i havn't bought a copy for some time as the opposition is a better prospect at the mo but hope things change. chhers for reading

[antz]

I think its great.

 

better than the opposition in my opinion

[Rich Sav]

same here but i would say that lol

[MEXY867M]

Think the mags great to lads but what do you expect its "FORDS"

[BIG G]

just seems to we written in idiot speek and not for people who know what they're talking about. like 97 % of people on the scene

[mk1super]

I like the mag alot its nice for a newbie like me to pick up a mag about cars an know exactly what there on about I dont mean this in a bad way, Classic ford mag seems more aimed at the expierenced owner.

[BIG G]

my point exactly alex

[caprinerd]

thin the mags great, cant see the prob

[macleod861]

think the mag is great aswell and big respect to ben and crew for the miles and time they put in .knockhills not an easy place to get to and yet they come up and again booked in to our tracknite in 2009

Think the lads at RF have done well especially in Scotland. Not afraid to travel

What other editer has done more miles in UK and Ireland, Norway etc.

[busta]

well i met a features ed this year who got through 4 note pads repoting for his mag and not one word was written about himself,

fair play i say

Thats More scottish cars

 

As i said above its nice for someone like me, to be able to pic up a mag an understand it, ive always thought its like reading something your mate has wrote to you, technical but understandable down to earth but written well. I'm afraid theres alot of times when am Bamboozed by old Cf but i freely admit iam a newbie an learning all the time.

[J_mk1]

i buy both but prefer retro ford

[jamesg]

the mags great, keep it light hearted

[Rick]

there does seem to be as much written about the retroford team as there is on the cars,

id imagine its hard to keep producing good features though especially this time of year

 

better than no magazine though

[v8cortina]

It is all personal preference. I find RF much better than CF. I chose not to buy CF any more for this reason. If you do not like it, do not buy it IMO.

[awesome]

If it wasn't for these two mags

what would we have to read about

re our Classic Fords

NOTHING

Just look at Fast Fords I have picked it up a few times

in Newsagents But not for me or most of the members on here

 

 

Well done both Mags

i get both Have done from day one

and read them from cover to cover

i haven't found the content has dropped

infact if you look at some of the older mags

they had less pages and didn't cover meny of the shows

And the style of photography has improved much

since the first years .............

Keep up the good work both Mags

[caprinerd]

have to agree with that but a sticker wouldnt goamiss

[stuartp]

I think we are really lucky - we have a choice of two magazines a month which cover as much old Ford stuff as is humanly possible.

 

i'm glad they are pitched slightly differently and enjoy both equally.

 

I'm a graphic designer so my eye is always looking for spelling mistakes etc (and there probably are more in Retro Ford than there should be) but it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the magazine. I think it's a massive achievement each month for what seems like a very small team to produce what they do

 

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't buy both, afterall it's only a few quid a month. If you are interested in old Ford's it's worth buying even if you just look at the pictures!

As far as I can see, there is room for improvement in almost everything in the world. If there was no criticism of anything, no-one would have the need to get better at anything

And this is how modification was born

[BIG G]

yeah but there making money out of the scene these magazines and not giving much back. Just wish they would show some down to earth cars and not bottomless budget money pits after all britain is full of um. Rant over

[Twinkle]

i enjoy both mags and have every issue of rf since it was launched. there is always something in both of the mags that grabs my eye and i want to know more so i buy them and read em!

 

just one question for rf, why did marty take the wheel off to do the wiring on the satsuma?

Cheers for your comment, I was once told that feedback is a gift and never a truer word spoken in jest.

I have plenty of excuses, but instead of using any of them I will just put my hands up and say that we will be pressing on ever forward to visit as many shows, go as many places and feature as wider variety of cars as we possibly can. We try and represent the world of old Fords for what it is, fun, laid back and informal. We aren't here to lecture you, we are here to enjoy it with you and in the case of places you can't be, enjoy it on your behalf.
