We started the club in July 2007 and just to cover all legal aspects, I sent in our approval for use of the logo. They replied back with official Ford graphics. I have now emailed my contact there just to make sure we are ok and if he could elaborate on what is going on. When I hear something, I will definitely post up.

Hang in there guys!

Some of the angry replies in the rest of that thread are funny though..
