DiscoDan reacted to Ollie in Ohsoretro show down @ margate
Well peeps that was the last show of the season for most of us :>(
Where has this year gone . i no i haven't done most of the shows this year due to other commitments
was a great turnout considering it was pretty much as far Kent as you can get for most attending . the original plan of the convoy didn't go quite to plan either as 1 member got lost and another waited at the wrong services partly me to blame :>( we got there in the end lol
The show itself was very good with some very strange and beautiful cars on show .. you had to be there to see some of them . i think every one who was there for the day had a great time because each and every one of them cars holds memory's in some way or another :>)
we will be going back next year and hopefully the other two shows wont clash :>(
For those that attended please add your photos to the gallery for all to see.. couple of the club stand below
Thanks ollie

DiscoDan reacted to Ollie in Mk6 Calypso
well i brought the mk6 back in the garage to make a start after trying everything to get the front wheels off . i did wanna try and save them after trying everything to remove the seized nuts . i managed to round 1 off on the nearside and 3 off on the offside
had top of the range nut guns /air guns and special nut removal tools and 3 different people that thought they may be able to remove them :>)
well in the end good old fashion hole cutter and big hammer done the trick
wheels are finally off and fit for the scrap man :>( had sold them a few months ago for £100 aswell lol
onwards an upwards got a set of rs15s to o on them as a rolling project just for the pre mot to see how bad it really is before i start any work on it
will keep you all updated

DiscoDan reacted to Vincygav in Ford Fair 2017 Pics
OK re-posted using imgBB. fedup of using tinypic, flipping slow and as you see the links just mess up so fast, not to mention the gazillion adverts.

DiscoDan reacted to lincolncity in 1989 Xr3I
Hi all, bought this last week. I already have a Capri on the go so the Escort will be a next summer Job. It needs the body doing and a new roof but it's mainly all there. Originally from Guildford built March '89 it was Registered in December'89 its SE spec and recently has spent its time in South Yorkshire. Bought it from ebay. So far I have cleaned it up, put the correct headrests back in it, got a few missing bits on bobs. I have de personalised it and fitted it out with the correct badges and dealer plates etc. Looking much better now.
I think it looks better now

DiscoDan reacted to Ollie in Event: Simply Ford
Hi all received this email regarding the club stand at simply ford
I will print some club labels to give out at the car park .
so far we have 13 attending if you would like to print your own then send me a pm and I will send via email as I cant attach on this post
regards Ollie
Thank you for booking in as a club for our Simply Ford event on Sunday 30th April. It is going to be a very busy event, with more club cars booked in for this year than ever before so we would appreciate any help you can give us to make the event run as smoothly as possible.
Final Numbers
Please could you update us with your final numbers for your club as soon as possible so we can work on and finalise the club layout.
Club Arrivals
Please use our Main Museum Entrance off the B3056 first thing. This entrance will be open from 8am for club arrivals - we will not be opening the entrance gate into the complex until 8am. Any early arrivals will be directed into one of our visitor car parks to wait until opening at 8am.
Only Trade vehicles will be allowed access prior to 8am.
This entrance will then operate as a club and general entrance from 9am.
Please Note: The Attraction, including the museum does not open until 10am.
Our additional Entrance off the B3054 will be signed as “Simply Ford Additional Entrance” and will be open from 9am-11am only and operate as a club and general entrance. If you arrive at this entrance before 9am or after 11am you will be directed round to the main entrance as there is nowhere to wait here.
Club Labels
To help us identify each club and direct vehicles to the correct club location it would be a great help for every vehicle that will be on your club stand to print off in A4 the attached club label and place this in their windscreen on arrival.
Gazebo’s
Please can we remind you that if your club stand is in the complex side (this is the hard standing arena and surrounding grass areas) you will not be able to put gazebo’s up within your club stands. We do ask for any clubs that wish to bring gazebo’s to let us know in advance and you will be located in the event fields.
Catering
The outside catering units will be open from 8am to cater for club arrivals. The Brabazon restaurant will only be open for refreshments from a slightly later time of approx. 8.30am.
Tickets
For those that are yet to buy their tickets - We do ask that each vehicle makes their own order for the persons in their vehicle when purchasing online. As only 1 e-ticket is generated per order all members are covered on that ticket and if you get separated on arrival it's not very easy to tie all members up when on the same e-ticket.
If anyone needs to make a bulk order you can do this over the phone via 01590 614614 and we can post out individual tickets to the organiser.
Tickets will be available on the day at £10 per adult and £5 per child when in a Ford vehicle.
We are able to take card payments on the day but it is not 100% reliable so do ask for people to pay for entrance tickets as cash where possible.
We hope you enjoy this year’s Simply Ford event and thank you in advance for all your help.
If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
The Beaulieu Events Team
