Monkfish Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Sorry.... You should have said you preferred coffee
Monkfish Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 its goin on ebay It's PG Tips, if that helps with the listing (aerated for a fuller flavour)
Admin Vista Posted February 11, 2009 Admin Report Posted February 11, 2009 Tony has said this in jest but personally I think it's not an unreasonable suggestion, i.e. rewarding feature car owners with something to show a magazines appreciation for the owners efforts? The mag makes money on the back of features about cars that owners have put a lot of time, money and effort into preparing / restoring. What's wrong with offering a little reward for their toils?
Retro-gone. Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 well i did get a fee mag, which has just arrived, im quite proud that my car made it in, and i didnt even send in a pic, they asked me if they could put it in
Pipster007 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 so whats gareth do?sends me a fookin free tea bag Obviously when Gareth said "Have a drink on me" , his thoughts were somewhat different to yours
X-pack-Glyn Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 No offence to your car tony, and it is a lovely car, one of my faves... but its amazing what a shiny paint job can do!

Retro-gone. Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 whooah hang on, this is the first year out of 10 years ownership that i havent driven the car throughout winter every day of the week come hail rain or snow, so dont go thinking i wrap it in cotton wool the cortina i had before the capri, rotted away thro salt contamination , its a hundred times worse here on the east coast and thats a proven fact.

Sorry tony, this isnt a dig in any way at you at all, its a lovely car you have there... what gets me is that all they are interested in is shiny paint. i know of a car that was about to be photographed yet was dismissed and everyones time wasted because of..shock horror...a rust hole in the wing
mk1super Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Would be good to see more rat look cars on a similar note... Mate of a mates car ( A sweet Xr van with a zvh on carbs, not my cup of tea but alot of graft went into it) was going to be featured by one of the newer ford mags, he was told it would be featured if he ditched the carbs and went turbo
Retro-gone. Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 well you can count me out of this age old argument, been here many times in my lifetime ownership and showing of cars and bikes.

My estate was car of the month in Retro Ford & I'm still waiting for my Meguiars pack! (Think Morley used it to polish his van this month going by the our fleet write up!)
Retro-gone. Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Posted February 12, 2009 this is from 2003 , coventry mk1 capri show, it won best original car, thats when it was original except the rostyles of course, its got black and silver numbe plates on and you can even see the facelift dummy vents which i since replaced with pre-facelift ones cos i like em better..
