Yellow Perril 2

Lol. Its never too late... Long time since the show. I made it eventually but things transpired to make it a difficult day. I changed rear pads, and cleaned and eased everything about a week before the show. Set off on the beautiful sunny morning but about 15 miles in, going around a bend, the right rear chrome hub cap dismounted... I seen it in the mirror and went back, found it... It was scorching hot! Despite being free as a bird, somehow the right rear was rubbing continuously and getting very hot. I limped back to base and switched cars and eventually made it to the show. It was superb with some machines I didn't even know Ford made! Unfortunately as I had commitments associated with the world cup final, I had about a couple of hours (not enough) and had to hit the road. There wasn't enough time to track any of you down I'm afraid. I'm on a mission to have a complete change of brake setup now. Ordered discs and got to get a servo sorted (I'm too old for needing lightening reactions and legs like Geoff Capes). Hopefully all that will be sorted for next year's event (or other excursion) before hand. It was great so see such a collection of machines and some real beauties. Hopefully I'll get parked in the main area next year...

Hi All, I've had enough now of the standard non-servo, drum brakes on my Escort MK1 (its not fun anymore...). Gotta fit a servo and discs... Has anyone got any serviceable items they want to get rid of in this line or suggestions of where to go shopping? Many thanks, Martin

Any MK1 Front wings 4 door XL?

Thanks for your comments Khanlad and Col. My car does get a lot of attention and admiring look but there's a few things I want to do. I'm happy to go whatever but was being a miser thinking I'll just get a show pass and save a couple of quid... (tight a..). Hopefully if work permits I'll see you both there! Many thanks, Martin

Brilliant thank Col! I'll get the diary sorted and hope to be going. I looked at the site and considered booking a to show but mines not really up to close scrutiny; nice but some stuff to tidy still... (best not annoy the judges) Hopefully I'll get things clear and booked soon.

Any update on the additional items?

Might just make it if it is 13/5...

... just posting to switch on notifications.

I'd be interested in this if the dates allow...

Hi Colr6, Is this 15/7/18? If so I'd hope to be there.

I'd love to be able to get to this but work says otherwise

This is well dodgy. Setting the car on fire! The knowledge of the garage sounds appalling and may just be a cover to launder other proceeds. The log book request is incredible.

Welcome! I'm fairly new hear my self but already finding it a useful and friendly place. I'm sure you'll find it very useful.
