Something of a let down. Capri/Omega photoshoot.
07. Dec 2009 at 19:51

This is from the meets section but bear with me please.
I found the relative issue of Retro Ford Mag this weekend & duly paid my £4.20. Being fully aware the onus would be on the Capri with the 3.0 Mig engine & manual box i did'nt expect too much but given Markey Mark & i took days off work, polising,tarting up etc. Stood for ages at the photographers request, moved our cars here there, everywhere, the outcome was one pic of our cars in the background that you can hardly see, & at the end of the written text there's a half hearted thankyou to the Omega owners "club"? Not even any appriciation in writing.
At the time i thought this would be good for the forum. Big mistake on my part. I had rows with two admins resulting in me spitting my dummy, leaving, losing my hard earned posts & for what?...Sweet Fanny Adams.
Thanks alot Retro Ford Mag! Angry

I would go into the newsagents and have a look but oh! the shame! Might have to slip it inside a copy of Razzle to save face. Wink

Only kidding.. IMHO it's normally the case that once journalistic licence has been applied to a story it ends up a load of bollards.

Sorry your time has gone to waste, Guy but well done for putting the effort in, mate. Thumbs Up!

£2 if you see the photo!!! For once it's not the Mig i'm upset about it's the fact i installed "protective mode" & argued with admins, allowed myself to get wound up to the point of leaving (silly mistake ) I did'nt expect much but this was taking the rise! Seems my loyalties where misguided,, thought i was doing the right thing at the time.

Sorry to hear you lost your post's because of this but your just going to have to put it down to one of those things mate. Good to have you back anyway. Thumbs Up!

Must admit if i had the change to get my car in a mag even a ford one as back ground pics i would jump at the chance and be equally gutted if i thought it was crap. Grin

Hi Mark. The Crapi...oh god i said it was'nt crap at all actually, it was a nice motor with alot of time, money & care invested in it & even if your'e not a classic Ford fan (like me) you can't fault the owner for his choice of engine.
However i should learn to stop crusading sometimes & accept my loyalties were misplaced in this case. We live & learn!! Roll Eyes
