I still see them around but not in numbers like before. I don't think all news agencies stock them like before. Street Fords is still going ok(i prefer street fords)...

I used to buy PFM too because of the modern era (ie made this century) modified Fords. But over the last 12 months they've been doing mainly older Fords and I lost interest, which meant they might have been gobbled up by the competition, which already does older-ford mods.
Perhaps me not buying their mags has hurt their bottom line and they are gone? Sounds like I'm not the only one to feel this way. I too haven't seen them in a while. Lukeyson

I heard that they have gone down the tube, and maybe JR went with them.
If he's around here, I'm sure he could answer.

I bought a subscription to it, then they only sent me 3 magazines and I never got one ever again after that....
Shame, I got a subscription of PF over street fords because the magazine feels and looks of much higher quality haha. |

A friend of mine has a car featured in No 71. They rang him recently and went through the article with him. They told him it would be out in March.

They have a website http://www.aznue.com.au/Workshop/default.asp which confirms the latest issue is issue 70.

Its healthy to have competition and it was good to have 2 quality Ford mags after all these years not having any but the print media is having tufftuff times due to the net,I hope they get themselves out of deep water.

Competition is healthy for us, the consumer, but it's not always healthy for the Magazines...

Naturally I keep an eye on the competition and we usually compete for cars to feature in the magazine etc
For several months that hasn't been happening. JR left quite a while ago as mentioned on here. I also have noticed the regularity drop off severely... Street Machine Fords has dropped off from six issues per year to just two. Who knows how long it will be before that stops coming out too. In regards to Street Fords, well we are going stronger and stronger even though it is a tough climate for any magazine out there. We are hiring more staff and will be rolling out a new and improved website in the months to come.
