popeye Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Simply Ford - 5 May 2013 http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/beaulieu-even ... imply-ford good laugh last year they don't hold paking spaces, so if you want to park together you must arrive together
Admin Vista Posted January 29, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 29, 2013 I'm up for this, what time are you planning on arriving?
popeye Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 I'm up for this, what time are you planning on arriving? no idea at the moment, if you are near and know the area, pick a place to meet up before we drive through the New Forest
Admin Vista Posted January 30, 2013 Admin Report Posted January 30, 2013 Not near, it's about a 3 hour drive for me but I have driven through the forest regularly and there are lots of car parks en route through it.
Admin Vista Posted April 6, 2013 Admin Report Posted April 6, 2013 Any one else up for gathering at Beaulieu for Simply Ford day? The best motor museum in the country mind!
nosher 64 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 We was going anyway so a meet/cruise in would be cool..
frankthefencer Posted April 7, 2013 Report Posted April 7, 2013 We are down there for the weekend. Staying at Shorefields. See you all there!! Happy to meet up so we can all arrive together . I am going down in my mk1 escort.
skeeter Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 My wife and I are planning to go to this, we are classic/old car show virgins...... It would be good to meet up on the way although we only live about an hour away from the place. S
Admin Mk2Jo Posted April 8, 2013 Admin Report Posted April 8, 2013 Lots of people meet at Rownham Services on the M27 - big car park<br />Its 25 mins (14 miles) from Beaulieu.
popeye Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Posted April 9, 2013 i'am up for this ..if i can get me car back together..
Admin Vista Posted April 9, 2013 Admin Report Posted April 9, 2013 I won't be at Rownham services as I come from the opposite direction, perhaps we can meet somewhere in the Forest nearer Beaulieu?
skeeter Posted April 14, 2013 Report Posted April 14, 2013 Tickets purchased....... looking forward to it as it will be my first meet up. S
Admin Vista Posted April 27, 2013 Admin Report Posted April 27, 2013 So who's on for this next Sunday then?
popeye Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 not going to be ready... to much to do..
Admin Vista Posted April 30, 2013 Admin Report Posted April 30, 2013 That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing your car. I've got some stuff to do to the van before then but am confident I'll make the early start I'll need to get up there from Cornwall on Sunday
popeye Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing your car. I've got some stuff to do to the van before then but am confident I'll make the early start I'll need to get up there from Cornwall on Sunday have a good drive up... catch up with you later in the year..
marky4 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 really wanted to go to this but car has no dif at the moment waiting for my lsd to be set up and fitted
Admin Vista Posted May 5, 2013 Admin Report Posted May 5, 2013 Well, you're all missing a fabulous sunny day in forest with lots of great cars to see.<br /><br />Haven't seen Skeeter yet but have said hello to Millsie <br /><br />Definitely a bigger OSF presence needed next year.<br /><br />
skeeter Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 Just got home, had a fantastic day and the weather was beautiful. We saw some lovely cars and that blue Consul Capri was a thing of beauty, how that was 'beaten' by the RS1600i is beyond me. We mixed up walking around and looking and just sitting by the car but didn't see anybody else in the OSF shirt, but not really surprising as there were loads of people there. It was great that the cars were all mixed up so you never quite knew what you were going to see next. I was parked on the right as you went in through the gates on the grass looking down towards the RS ring, ended up in between a brown mk2 Escort RS2000 and a purple Sapphire Cosworth 4x4. We were amazed at the variety of cars on display, pretty much every Ford we could remember was there to be found somewhere. The wife and I had a great day, spoke to a load of people who were very nice about the car and also spoke to a load of other people about their cars. Clearly the Mk1 and Mk2 Escort is the most popular OSF if you judge by the number I saw today, my favourite colours were the light blue/dark blue stripe and there was one lovely one in the RS section which was Yellow/Orange which looked stunning. I have to say though the Aston Martin DB5 in the James Bond exhibition was lovely too, not a Ford but still........ All in all the day was a success, the marshalling by the staff could be improved a lot if they just thought about it a bit more but I suspect they were surprised by the number of cars turning up. Now looking for the next event to go to! S
Admin Vista Posted May 5, 2013 Admin Report Posted May 5, 2013 I was in my OSF Polo shirt and my mate was wearing an OSF T shirt, I was on the lookout for you in yours but like you say, a lot of people around. Just home ourselves, a pleasant 3 hour drive across the south coast.<br /><br />
skeeter Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 We must work out better tactics for meeting at the next one............. Even the wife is saying what a great day it was, turns out I purchased the right car too S
Admin Mk2Jo Posted May 5, 2013 Admin Report Posted May 5, 2013 Looks like it was a fantastic day chaps! Well done for flying the OSF flag :)
