Ford Fair - Did You Go?

[PeteRS8084]

We went. Great weather - Great stand position - Great cars - Great banter ( Colin, great to meet you and your friend who's name escaped me. And Jeff who's lovely mk2 escort mexico was parked next to me, I am well jealous of that Ashton lump!).

So Colin next year drive down in an escort (because you love them!) or a Tina. The anglebox would be a great track car! Talking of track cars, those focus RS do sound like a jet fighter going down the straight at full chat!

All in all a great day.............roll in next year!

My thanks to Rossmk2 and SebringRS for running the stand today. Well done guys, I hope you enjoyed the show

As Pete says great weather great stand position. Pity I was surrounded by arsoles Sorrry Pete I mean escorts haha. Really was good to meet you and your good lady who also has a sense of humour. Got a lot cheaper option for gearbox, going to use Mazda rx8 box studied the conversion plate somebody was making. He let me study it to long- have one of those made quite quickly save some money for the petrol next year! Hope to see you all again soon.

VISTA. Did hear hear a couple of people talking who said the osf stand was best turnout of smart real cars. So that must tell you the people who organised the stand did a good job and many thanks to them.

[PeteRS8084]

Well done on the gearbox front............and having looked further at the power steering option, I think that motor has to sit the opposite way, I. E. To the right, so would not foul the centre consul?

Great too catch up with you, your such a p$€s taker.........but all in good taste. Cheers for the ice cream.......where's my pig! Laters mate

Well those of us who drove our smart real cars, and from the field at the back does not count .

No honestly there was some really peachy cars on the stand.........escorts obviously!

[colr6]

Sorry about that Pete we came back with hot pork sandwiches and you had gone. So we ate them all! Tuf for not waiting. Haha they were absolutely gorgeous. Suppose I will have take another leg off my favourite pig for next time

[colr6]

For the last comment Pete if you thought today was taking the p\€$$ then war has now been Declared. All in good taste of course, well might be fibbing just a little bit. SO WATCH YOUR BACK MATEY!!!!

[robns]

Thanks for the invite hope to do some more shows n meet some faces next time

[mk2 mike]

Here's a couple of pics someone else took. I've not heard very good things about this year

[brettp]

There's a lot of focus and fiesta but loads of nice old stuff and track action was good

Mate if your capri is the v8 , which I think it is, that was hammering round the track good on ya, my god it sounded like thor, who I hope was the god of thunder! Brilliant, but me and my Mrs cringed when I told her what you were probably doing to the gallon at full chat. But it did sound a go a treat!

[colr6]

My first year at silverstone but I was impressed by the amount of quality cars new and old stuff. I thought I was sad by polishing things and presenting vehicles for show but some of those fiesta and focus boys really need some therapy and get out a bit more! Hats off to them some were brilliant and presented in more than immaculate almost clinical condition which takes a lot of dedication. So well done to those lads and lasses. Can't wait for next year!

[RossMK2]

Well done everyone who came and showed the new stuff we are still about,

 

Sorry we were slightly late and not there to say hello and park all of you, we were only running 10-15mins late but obviously got caught in traffic because of that.

 

For me it's like this, we all know there are way to many fiesta and focus ST's and RS's, thats not having i dig at the cars i have a ST myself. However we need to be there. This was the best turnout we have had for a few years, and as all the old skools were properly together it made it as good as possible. We had pretty much centre stage with the lots of people wandering round all day.

 

There are alot of people who moan about new focus etc. but this year they were all parked together and it's simple, if you don't like them walk past and look for old stuff. It's one of them things, the more old skool fords we get on the stand, the better the show for all of us interested in them.

 

Anyway glad you enjoyed yourselves took a couple of pics

The stand was good although unfortunately didn't stay on it long as limited time at the show and wanted to see everything. Had a chat with the guy who has the other red escort an import shell, also spoke to the guy in the orange Mexico about his engine. Thanks to the Fiesta Somerset people for offering me some oil and also the guys from Aberdeen.

[colr6]

Nice pics Pete, have you noticed people are looking at the anglia not the escorts.must be a minority car! Some thing different. Or maybe felt sorry for the little one surrounded by ESCORTS.

that was mine it's had a lot of work done but I was shocked at how well it went round and the fuel gauge was moving pretty quick !

[khanlad]

Hey pete, someone's photo bombed your picture of kermit! Outrageous,
