X-pack-Glyn Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 I mean WTF....some people do have funny ideas on what CLASSIC means, there was more plastic than anything else!
Yeomans22 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 on the way down i got overtaken by 3 osfs, and i lost count of cosworths and focus rs's that passed me. also gutted for the owner of the MK1 escort that burnt out on the motorway

MightySprocket Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 I mean WTF....some people do have funny ideas on what CLASSIC means, there was more plastic than anything else! time doesn't stand still
MK2Ed Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 you sound suprised Lol... Last year seemed to be the dawn of the plastic - think they came out the woodwork with the weather... I still had a good day thou...
X FLOW EDDY Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 I mean WTF....some people do have funny ideas on what CLASSIC means, there was more plastic than anything else! Was a bit miffed to see brand new focus st's and outher new plastic junk in with the classic stuff. Defeats the object of a " classic ford " show .
brettp Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 had a real good day but there was a load of plastic crap spoilt the drag racing a bit i recon a ban on plastic bumpers are needed
Conor Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Two good things came out of it: 1) The plastic crap got decimated by the OSF tin apart from one 4WD MK4 Escort which decimated all. 2) Some of our more illustrious YB Turbo powered OSF brethren actually were nearly as fast or faster than the built for drag racing Pro-Street cars.
LEONMEX Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 did have a little word with a marshall as there where 3 c***s spinning about near the dodgems in an escort cossie & 2 s1 erra cossies of which if i had a brick it would of got put through there windows. But i had the last laugh both the s1 erras broke there diffs on the line & the escort cossie ran a very impressive 17 second quarter to much plastic for me,but still a very very very good weekend
louie bagel Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 sat i the traffic jam at the end of the pits for an hour and a half (only moved about ten car lengths btw ) and this guy in the car next to starts talking to me about the van and say how nice it looked and rare etc, and i said to him "yeah i think its the only 300 thames here" the guy turns to me seems to take offence and goes "well this is the only one here too" i'm like wtf your in a less than 10 year old american import what did you expect at a CLASSIC FORD SHOW

X-pack-Glyn Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Posted May 31, 2009 Saterday There was some dick tearing about our field in an grey E30 covering all our washed cars in dust.
aden Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 was a lot of plastic there but was a lot of top stuff too see your motor glyn couldnt see you about though mate
LEONMEX Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Saterday There was some dick tearing about our field in an grey E30 covering all our washed cars in dust. did he not wake up with four flat tyres you get them where ever you go but there was alot of them this year. We camped up in the pits & was nice & quite over there all night.

Baz105e was pleased when we told him his 1660 rat Anglia ran 0.2 second quarter time faster than the Mondeo ST24!
brettp Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 there where some really nice motors best show of the year so far for me but i do think its going to end up like ford fair which would be a disaster
escort21 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Half the show stands were plastic with some seriously bad barry horrors ...but the bysellcortina, oldskoolford really stood out with quality old motors...well done everyone
Skimmer Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Didnt really take any notice of the stands/traders selling for the new car types but did do well on 2 pairs of new mk1 escort mexico front wings , one pair steel, one pair fiberglass needles to say my wallet is now a bit lighter There were some top quality cars there though and all credit to there owners, had a great day....
trevb Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Well for me it was the best show of the year, even with the modern bit all over the place, but we definitly had the best stand! So i think a BIG thanks to Darren and whoever else was involved in setting it up. As for the car on fire on the M1, if it was the one on the way home, it wasnt a classic, it was a Crysler 300c but there was a red mk1 escy broken down just behind it. Sorry to everyone that met at the Ace cafe this morning, i was running about 15 mins late and missed everyone.
RETRO_AL Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Cracking weekend got some nice bits for the escort
5hane Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Saterday There was some dick tearing about our field in an grey E30 covering all our washed cars in dust. yes, see that C*CK got woke up a few times aswell but, i thought it was great about 6 of us camped and it was a good laugh ! definatly next year shame we were so far from OSF village (nearby the main toilet block) o and bought some full length floorplans roll on the next one
Conor Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 i'm like wtf your in a less than 10 year old american import what did you expect at a CLASSIC FORD SHOW [/i][/b] Was that that 90's Mustang that did impressive burnouts but was carrying so much lard it could barely haul itself up the 1/4 mile faster than a 1L Fiesta despite having an engine 4 times the size?
Conor Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Baz105e was pleased when we told him his 1660 rat Anglia ran 0.2 second quarter time faster than the Mondeo ST24! I watched that and had a quiet chuckle to myself. Bet the ST24 owner was gutted.
