I hadn't realised you had spoken to Slick and sent in pictures etc.
Presume this is what Elaine and yourself had been talking about pre christmas???

I'll have to get to the newsagents in the morning (I do live in the sticks!).

Yeah, I spoke with one of the co-editors about 2 months ago and sent him a selection of pics from our past meets, I emailed him this afternoon to enquire as to the situation with an article and he tells me that there was an inclusion in the current issue! My local newsagent doesn't stock it so I'll have to wait until tomorrow...

Picked up a couple of copies today.
Two page article with some good photos of our FTO's + owners at the various meets - the cars look really well.
Good advertisment for this site.

Excellent. Pity I can't get a copy, tried 4 newsagents last night and the local 'Borders' this morning - nowt. Might give Easons a go later.

I included a bit of a write up on the club with a selection of choice pics from some of our past meets, I'm interested to see what Terry put in...

Managed to pick up a copy in Easons, I'm really impressed, its a cool looking 2 page spread. It features the Kerry, Kenmare Limerick and Spawell meets and includes MfFTOs old GPX, his cousins GS (IIRC), my GPX, Daves old GS and GPX, Mustangs old GR, The Bulls GPX (Nigels at the time), Danny Kierens GR and Elaines GS to name but a few. It includes some FTO and FTO-Ireland graphics and a piece of text I threw together back in February whcih describes the club. The tagline ("ITS NOT YOUR VEC, ITS MIVEC") is a bit cheesy but does its jonb in terms of breaking up the pics.

Big up to Terry @ Slick for a cool feature :smt023

Terry, the editor of Slick Mag has kindly given me permission to scan in the feature and upload it to the site for those of you who didn't pick up the magazine last month. Click on the image below for a hi-res version (3Mb):

See who you can recognise in the pics :)
