What is this Winter Storage thing of which you speak? Isnt that the only time you can come out into the light safely without being fried in excessive cancer causing UV radiation that peels both your paint and your skin off with temperatures so high it makes your vinyl trims crinkle up like cabbages? 🥵 or dont you have that there?4 points

Don't, I think back to throwing away loads of parts back in the 90's like mint seats and door cards with no speaker holes, just because back then I didn't have a garage 😩3 points

Brexit made trading (buying and selling) with UK more expensive. But everything got a lot more expensive sometimes for a legit reason (raw materials costs have gone up) or the (unstable) situation in the world. But that does not explain the rise in postage costs as you point out; for years I made an Escort calendar in A2 size (40 x 60 cm). In the early years postage for a calendar to Australia costs 6,16 Euro! Ten years later and posting the same calendar would cost 38,50 Euro 🥵3 points

Thanks for the mention. Very honoured. Its just a shame Retards Club had killed off the show scene. Ive tried to be flexible with what we have on the stands and on the tour date wise (90s fords), but a new RS focus ( which wasnt booked and was for sale) really pissed me off at our last show at Powderham Castle. Next year will probably be the last, as the organisers are retiring and need new members to take over. Sadly castle Combe binned off thier Ford only event which seemed to be popular. Every where else is just too far for me to organise show stands. I will try and come up and say hello again at the NEC. But as for static show stands. Think our NEC will be the only one in the future. Thanks for your hard work in keeping it going and spreading the word.3 points

I recently found a great windscreen company that carried out some work on my Escort. I thought I would post something up here for any related fitments or issues regarding glass, etc. Very experienced and knowledgeable with all types of classics. They are Gemini Windscreens in Newcastle-under-Lyme. John the proprietor, undertakes the work on all classics. Cheers2 points

Thank you @Ray, it's my pleasure to help out as I know how hard you, @stephens_xpack and @popeye have worked in the past and still now. Retroford Magazine and Evoke Classics have really come up trumps and the Club news features on the NEC website look great and we are certainly ahead of the other clubs - take a look yourself. I even managed to get a plug in for OSF at Bangers and Cash live 🤣. Putting on a good show worthy of OSF and the 1300E Owners Club is no small task. So come on guys and gals buy your discounted ticket and help us celebrate the best Ford Clubs in the UK 😊. Cu at the NEC YKT.

ok Guys and Gals this year for the NEC, Mark aka @Vista Estate has got involved and really taken the show in a direction that i not only didnt know existed, but also i wouldnt have known where to start, and while that also has a little to do with his media contacts, Mark has put in an enormous amount of time and effort into publisising (spelling lol), both the show itself and the 2 clubs. and that wont stop until the show is over for this year, Kellye, aka @stephens_xpack and I, took over running the stand from @popeye in 2018, and gathered a dedicated set of cars/members together, and we did it each year till 2022 on basically the same set of cars, because its an expensive show to exhibit at, and getting new cars is not easy, but calls to change the cars were being shouted for, so last year i took the 1300E club to the NEC as well as a separate stand, this freed up the space on the OSF stand for fresh cars, as well as celebrate an anniversary on the 1300E stand. this year, we did initially have difficulty in filling the spaces on the OSF stand, as was the case back in 2017, but we got over that, and mark has worked tirelessly on the promotion in conjunction with Retro ford magazine and the NEC's news articles, along with multiple FB adverts etc, to sell tickets and advertise the event, and i am again taking the 1300E club on its own stand, theyre next to each other, making set up and breakdown a lot easier, but again allowing variation on the OSF stand this year will see the OSF stand with its biggest variation of cars in years, all be it mainly Escorts so as a big thank you to Mark for all his efforts, please get those wallets open and book your tickets online using the discount code, and come and see us, and Mark, i hope youll be with us next year1 point

Well placing an ad for ten quid for rusty escort nuts sounds more like a desperate call from a male sex worker that doesn't get much action! You may not get responses you were expecting! 😂1 point
