| 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:
- Large 8-inch, as shown above and
on our website
- 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.

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.
