Article about RF in the paper

[ChrisL]

Roaring Forties made it into the auto-section of the Melbourne Herald-Sun newspaper last Friday. Did anybody else catch it? For that matter, was there a parallel report in any of the other major newspapers in any other Australian states?

It was a very positive article about a small Aussie company taking on the world and doing good.

Yes Chris - made the Sydney paper too!
Pretty bloody good effort on Roberts behalf!

From his post, looks like he is going to contest the 24hr Bathurst too - wonder if he needs pit crew??

Sorry this is so late, but I only just read it. Roaring Fourties had a lot of pics in Street Machine some time a go. It was a great article, and some excellent pics of their great work

The article Pvan refers to is the Aust. Street Machine edition of early 2002.
I think you will find it is Ford Performance magazine that is carrying the current series on the RFGT40 build-up - and good it is too!

Thanks for the reply Greg and Robert, yeah I was referring to the SM article, but I am interested in the Ford Performance magazine series, I will certinly get someone to send me the mags, as I am totally serious about buying a gt40, and am compleatly in love with everyting about the car! Thanks for the info!

 

On returning from a holiday in OZ,have just got to add how excited we were to see in one of the Brisbane papers an article headed "Quality's the real thing" being a write up of Roaring Forties Ford GT40.There is no need to say more as I see others have reported seeing it as well.
Congratulations

Clyde & Suzanne Thompson.
