Re: my new car

Well you see some trick bits on a few cars in numerous magazines but your touring car has all the bits on just one
Oh and congratulations on your Performance Ford feature this month with your road car

Fancy some track time next week ?
The C.C.C. Action day next Saturday at Castle Combe, you can just turn up and pay £20 for 5 laps as many times as you want Theres a couple of other RS500'S that attend as well as a couple of us from Turbosport that will be there, well i will be on track hopefully

Re: my new car

hi, andy

i do like the ccc show, but i will be in the states from next monday for 10 days so will miss it.

the performance ford shout was a disaster,
ask me to do a fearture and time my car, so i said yes, when two days before i go to brunters , they change venue to rockingham ,
tell me to get there for 11ish and then are not there to meat me, has his mobile off, then after 25 minutes, i do get hold of him and hes been on the track,
then we are just finishing the phots on there two cars, so after they finish (hours)

its time to do my photos ect, no problem ,
finish them, and its time to get on the track yes!
no actually they failed to telll me they only booked the track for the morning so they had to intention of doing any timed runs ,
when i got on the track he said dont go over 50 as we were only alound to have it for phots as they only booked it for the morning!!!!or leting me have any fun on the track, so after traveling 130 miles at my exspence in my time, they did not meat me ,did not tell me it had changed to a phot shoot only, and not timed runs, at least some fun on the track,
infact when they finished with there cars they put the timing gear away,





so as you can realise i was not inpressed with them,
i would not have traveled to do a phot shoot,

then they rushed the phots in the next mag, at the back,did not even get my address so when the mag come out i had to buy my own copy,

when my car was in fast ford they came to me and sent me two copys before the mag came out,


if performance ford wont anything else of me they can kisss my assss,

hence you will notice no phot of me by my car,
used but not forgoten.

still they wont be featuring my new labatts car,

martin.

Re: my new car

Wow, they treated you like by the sound of it
You would think that as its the readers cars that they feature which help sell their magazines that they would treat you a bit better than that eh
Still nows the time to go over to the states seeing as the suns gone in and the rains on its way it seems
Cheers Andy...
