Does Cf Editor Know His Onions??

[lee bishop]

got my latest classic ford through the post yesterday, on the page where the editor has a say, is a little box where the editions contributors have a say, there steve phillips says ref his favourite RS, "got to be the RS2000 mk2, i think its just cos of the front end, if only they did a four door version "

does someone want to tell him our antipodean cousins enjoyed a four door RS, but as classic ford editor, surely he should know that??

Spot on there Rab...lately most of 'em at CF look like their only just in the first throws of puberty...lark!!

They're journo's at the end of the day, as opposed to dyed-in-the-wool Ford fanatics...CF is just another stepping stone for them in their careers. Nobody expects them to be experts, but it sticks out like a sore dick they rely on what is sometimes completely incorrect information for some of their articles...which is then in turn taken as gospel by many a newcomer to these cars.

havin bumped in2 marc stretton at ford fair and talkin 2 him in great length,steve philps has alot of people to answer to that why he left as ed, they need to get people on board that has blue blood and have a passion for what there writin about,i was stood by the classic ford snapper at ford fair and he wasnt sure what cars he had to take pics off

[morcheen]

i know nothing

it's just a stepping stone for them until they can get to a bigger mag,and it's always fun to spot all the glaring errors in the mags

[lee bishop]

not forgetting the issue of them turning up in ireland, in a focus. then there was the picture of matt wildee ' driving the wheels' off a space framed hill climb mk1 escort - with his sunglasses still on the top of his head ( surely they'd fall off?? ) god i could go on for bloody ages. who pays their salary?? i wanna complain.........

i get a bit annoyed with retro ford mag, as it seems its just a collection of ben morleys mates cars, but at least they are all passionate about what they write about on that mag

I agree but surely there is a good reason for that !!!

If anyone wants to start a magazine they have got to feature their mates car first as they will need to fill the magazine with articles to compete with Classic Ford etc
