Decals & Magazine Offer

After a long wait, decals of our club logo are finally going to press! Here is your chance to show your club pride, as well as support the operations and growth of our club.

These decals are vinyl, and attach to either glass, painted metal, and plastic. Two versions will be offered, in both white and silver:

  1. Large 8-inch, as shown above and on our website
  2. Smaller 3-inch, just with OFOC (no small lettering)

In addition to the purchase of a decal, you also get 10 OFOC pimp cards to spread the word about our club. Also, purchasers will also enjoy a year's subscription to Speed, Street, and Sound, the newest performance magazine geared towards enthusiasts in the Great Lakes Region.

Decals will officially be introduced and sold at the SHM G2G/Dyno Day. After that, you may contact Richard to arrange payment and delivery. We will need your mailing address at the time of purchase for the magazine.

Dixie Ford Show & Shine Results

A beautiful sunny, September Sunday greeted the 4th Annual Dixie Ford Show & Shine. Held by Street Classics and SVTOA-Toronto, the venue was filled with over 120 cars and trucks. Congratulations to the following Focus owners:

  • Best SVT Focus: Terry Seawright (2nd), Iain Reid (1st)
  • Non-SVT Car: Brad McMaster (2nd)

A full list of winners and images can be found on the SVTOA-Toronto website.

Importfest 

This year's show was postponed due to the August blackout that left Ontario and the Northeastern seaboard without power. Combining the sights and sound of a sport compact show with the atmosphere of a night club, the venue was held at the Skydome.

Here's how the Foci stood in the Focus category

  • 1st: "focustuning.ca" ZX3 from Québec (sorry, we didn't get a name)
  • 2nd: Brad McMaster (ZX3)
  • 3rd: Iain Reid (2002 SVT Focus)

Hope to see people out at next year's show.
