Classic Ford Show here we come

[JP.]

Tonight we’re of to England for the Classic Ford Show…………

yup it’s a week early but want to see the FIA main event to.

Had to swap cars as the one we’d planned to go with, appeared to have serious tire clearance issues with all the camp load and Dutch beer in the boot. 11j back wheels appeared to be to much with load.

As we just discovered it last evening we didn’t find us enough time to patch it.

It has to be foul proof as we have a long trip and more than a week to go.

As grandma told us, if in doubt…don’t do it in my case grandma was allways right!

So we got the V8 out of storage and will take this one with us again..

Not one to be ashamed of either……

Supercharger is repaired now by UKblowers with Teflon seals as it broke down last year a day before CFS on our way to Birmingham.

For those who wonder, yess we even swapped wheels from this one to the other one to see if it would work out but no by incorrect ET.

.

So we are very sorry for those guys/girls who did want to see our X-packed 3.0 tripple cab't grp 5 coloured Capri mk3 but we for shure didn't want to take any risk while we have to drive it for more than a week far away from home.

Need to find some 5j BBS e30 rim halves to replace the 6j outer halves which are to wide for road use. Yepp we are talking about genuine Ford BBS 3 piece alloy/magnesium wheels and thats also involved in our decision to swap cars...

.

Positive thought now, Might trie to see if I could hit some 13's now at the pod. Did a 14.2 98mph at the CFS in 2009 at the wet ( remember the rain we had at CFS 2009) and hitting the rev limiter each gear

Raised boost from 4 till 8 psi now and added water/methanol injection but still on the long 3.09 gears.

As allways have to be gentle cause it still has to bring us home. No clutch dump, justy a steady start and then WOT.

Oooh its just a 3.5 Rover V8 with some boost. Nothing wrong with it.

.

So it could be us driving in the blue Capri somewhere in the Midlands coming up week.

.

See you all at the Classic Ford Show. We are looking forward too it !!!

Regards JP & Linda (Holland)
