Default Motion (The Ford Australia Magazine)

Just recieved a Ford Magazine in the letterbox, my parents bought a Ba last year and must be on a mail out database.

Its issue 1 so i expect more in the future.

Did anyone else get the same magazine in the mail today?

Paul

Looks like a good read, its got interviews with the designers of the ford models, as well as an interview with mathew hayden. There is a history section and a small section on Ambrose.

Alot of add's for new cars and accessories too.

Should be a good read!

I was reading it in the service waiting room at the Ford dealer on Friday. Wasn't a bad read.

I wonder if it will be mailed out to existing Blueprint magazine subscribers.

Handy. Holden didn't give us any material when we bought our car. It was admittedly years ago though.

But a Ford mag. Not bad.

Got one in the mail today, haven't finished reading it yet, about halfway through. Some nice suggested drives in different states and a three page "infomercial" by Mathew Hayden about his Territory and F250 are a couple of articles. There is also a competition where you can win a Focus Zetec by answering 12 survey questions and state in 25 words or less "What do you love most about your Ford".
