Yeah, I know. Can't get to them all though... nevermind eh?

Awesome pics mate I really wish I hadn't been working so I could've made it across, it looks like I missed a really good one. The wide arch 260Z looks mega hot, as does the black Piazza, rare beast is that, most have been raped for their LSD. Cheers for sharing

Bump for next Saturday

Glad you enjoyed mate, its was a good evening. The pics are here

This is the time of year when the seems to be a show every weekend, lots of early sunday morning starts, lots of polishing the car on a Saturday afternoon and lots of early nights, well how about this then, a show that starts at 4pm and ends when the last has left (which this year was us and the mini folks at about 10ish) Lots and lots of quality metal on display for the glorious weather, quite a suprise really after a shakey start to the day (it was teaming it down until 2ish :-/) Anyway, the pictures will hopefully do the talking, even if there is no particular order At Redbeck Nice mk1 Looks as hard is it is to drive I imagine The obligatory Bullitt mk2 Civic 'S' Mine, Nevs MR2, and blowers mk1 amongst others Blackboard-painted tomcat ended up scribbled all over Hirst '62/3 Mercury Monterey, just an overgrown 105e.

Aw mate, that sounds hellish. I reckon you caught the weather that passed over here at dinnertime. We eventually got there at 5:15ish, it not only stayed dry but ended up getting sunny and hot. Plenty of tasty metal on display, pics are uploading as I type

Up to you chap, Im not sure if the Ka will be allowed on the showfield, but then again, what do I know.

Sounds groovy tony, PM on its way

We'll definately be at Redbeck at 4pm, Il be knocking about for 30-45mins to make sure everyone has time to get there. Redbeck website, and the address is: Doncaster Road, Crofton, Wakefield, WF4 1RR Hope to see you there tony. Its a pity you can't make it Mr Cake, and I'll keep and eye for you Dave

Steve Your too kind, really mate. It does have many many faults, but its never stood still long enough for me to sort them

That is what my escRot aspires to be Lets do the check list... Best wheels - Check Great colour - Check Mint condition - Check Oldskool power - Check 40's soundtrack - Check Im struggling to see why you don't drive it more often Very, very nice car mate.

The escRot is my daily, but honestly, its in better nick now than when I got my hands on it 3 and a half years ago. However, I know theres an awful lot more I could and should do to look after it, but I enjoy driving it so much that a jetwashing underneath, a proper wash and polish once a week seems to do the trick If you not happy with the capri, have a good think, make a list of jobs, if the list seems unmanagable, maybe then you've got a tough decision to make.

i know what you mean, it is a little bit strange, but maybe its the perfect excuse to have a half day Friday? It is a good show though, I'd travel to it (not that I have to )

Yours got loads of pics last time

i really, really wanted to attend this this weekend. But Im working Sat-Sun-Mon nights and I can't get out of it, looks like it'll have to be next time Take plenty of pics and vids, Im interested to hear what some of the more experienced drag racers think of York....

BUMP!!1! Its only this Friday

I didn't realise it was up for flog, lol after you'd spent a year planning the manual conversion too. But, as they say, onward and upwards. I always liked your Capri and it'll be nice to see it again What you up to this Friday? Theres a nice little show on in Wakefield if you fancy it

This months pics and write-up are here

Its soon back round to that time o' month for a the Yorkshire meet. We have had another amazing turnout, some very tasty metal and a couple of faces I've not seen for a while. I got there at around 3ish, and there was already quite a gathering. Lets get on with the pics shall we... Did someone order a cab... Clean capri Porkies Mmm, Turbo. I'm liking the subtle pearl on the wheels Love this, looks so hard on those rims Sounded like thunder too Show winning cleanliness First time Ive seen this Golf, sorry I didn't get chance to natter to the owner :-[ Keeping the beer cool Super-quick Nova eyeing up the competition Kee-mobile back on the road Luxo-barge... ...or Capri engine doner? I wonder if it has pollen filters Pop-top fun Business end of the Turbo Kee and StealthStylz pass the time Same job, different era Twin-carbed goodness, sounded glorious A quick look around Very apt plate Stealthstylz battlebus John made the huge trek across. After a stop in Anglesey and Wales escRot and Ovlov The clean capri again And a bit of an overview, how long before we need a bigger carpark I wonder... I've had an ace time, not many better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, than with mates talking cars in the sun. Looking forward to next month, and also looking for to the Thornes Park show next friday.

Here you go tony, Crofton Arms, Doncaster Road, Crofton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF4 1RP hopefully see you there.

When the escRot got VOR'd by VOSA back in december, the young lad that was left to inspect the car was insistant that the exhaust would not pass and MOT, much, much too loud apparently. As I said to him at the time, if you can find me a totally standard mk1 escort, running a NOS exhaust then I will concede and change it. Needless to say, the exhaust stayed, it passed an MOT and has since been changed for something a little quieter for my sanity

BUMP FOR NEXT FRIDAY!! If anyone is interested, we are meeting an hour before at the Redbeck motel and driving down together. So thats Next Friday 4pm at Redbeck Motel Im not sure on numbers so there might be 20cars driving down, or it might end up being a couple of us, either way the show is always good

BUMP. its this Sunday folks

Very much alive and kicking is this meet. Spot on with the date aswell

Every chance its me, I certainly get about. Did the one you saw have black wheels? Like this...
