Good news Street Fords Fans! Thanks to Dan Bowden of Bowden's Own we now have some awesome new prize packs to give away to the winners of Boys in Blue. We now have a selection from a glass care, wash or wax car care package to give away to a lucky winner each issue. The best part is it cannot be easier to enter and win! All you need to do is send us an email at rides@streetfords.com.au with your best shots and a small blurb about your car. It couldn't be simplier.
To make it even easier, here's some top tips on how to increase your chances of getting your car onto our pages and a pack sent out to you.
1) Take pictures at a decent resolution, this means we can actually run them in print. A rough guide is that the file size of a jpeg needs to be over 1mb.
2) In your 100-150 word blurb try to write as clearly as possible, and make sure you spell correctly. If we can read the story easily it immediately brings you to the top of the list.
3) Send us the information! (you have to be in it to win it)

So get cracking, because these prizes will not hang around long.

That email address again;
rides@streetfords.com.au

Even if you just want to see your car in print, get your submission in now.

Damn... It's times like this that I wish the EF was back at home, and sprayed/lowered in the rear/interior finished....

Keep 'em comin' people

Hey guys, don't forget we're always looking for cars. If you have posted something in the concourse, be sure to send us the original pics (ie. higher resolution) and some text in an email so that it can find its way into the mag!

Get your submissions in people. And best submission wins (clear 1mb or above pic, with well-written words), not always the best car.

Literacy appears to be a grossly undervalued skill these days, so the first person to send in a decent pic of their Ford (1mb or so, clear, etc) and two grammatically-correct paragraphs about it WILL win the prize in the issue that we’re currently putting together.
The second person to will probably win it in the next issue that we put together.
Ok, go.

wow ,
I didn't think any magazine would have trouble finding readers rides,
and the ability to send the words is testimony to our excellent education system.


yep there has to be a mistake in this post


steve

Only about half the submissions we get are actually useable Steve, usually due to the poor quality (extremely low resolution) of the pics though.
As for the text, it just makes my job eaiser if it's well-written (saves me time having to fix all the errors). My column in the current issue is a fun English lesson. Perhaps it will help someone. I'm also waiting for someone to point out the (very ironic) grammatical error in it (there's always at least one, but it stands out more when grammar is the subject).
