hi all

first of all I would like to say what a great show this turned out to be again :>)

I for one look forward to this show every year as if your a lover of all old skool fords this show is the one for you .

as most of you will no my se allwhite broke down on me on the Saturday evening at 4 oclock and after 5 n half hours I gave up on it as I got it going but had a fuel leak :>( not worth the risk I pushed it in the garage and phoned bigjon for a ride up in his mk4 cabbie

woke up to my alarm at 4.30 to a message from ian saying his m8 couldn't make the show so if I wanted I could drive his limited edition tennis to the show.

jon picked me up bright and early and off we set via ians to the show . arriving at ians and hood down ready for me to take to the show off we went

I must say it was a pleasure to drive the mk4 as I had forgotten how nice the standard escort cabriolet drives and handles

arriving at the show at just before 8 was ok as we pretty much drove straight in set up the club stand and chilled for a bit. tip for next year try and get in early as a few members spent hours trying to get in

weather was great with good company and plenty of classic fords to drool over .. see pics in the gallery and on our facebook page

as most people no leaving the show is a nightmare due to one entrance and one exit so people do tend to start leaving early :>( a few of us stayed till about five ish and decided to leave but got to the back of the line and it wasn't moving very fast so parked up and went for a beer at the refreshment tent

couple of hours later still slow traffic but we had to go for it lol

now I had the pleasure of driving ians car back via his house but not the tennis his mint rs turbo fiesta I wasn't gonna argue just enjoyed the drive back to his house arriving with a smile on my face lol

well after a long day I finally got home around 9.30 pm

 

A great day was had by all I think and I look forward to the next show and we can do it all again

would like to say thanks to all that made it a great event :>)

 

regards Ollie

hi all it was an excellent day even though I didn't feel too good and didn't want to sit in a long traffic jam so that's why we left early and managed to get out in 15 minute.. It was amazing that the queue was just starting to build up even at around 2.30 pm. Lets hope the weather holds out for Bromley this weekend.

yea was an amazing day and i got a great bargin a full rs kit with the strips and the jacking covers for £40 was well happy, as to the fact i left the stand at bout 3:15 i caught the traffic it took me over n hour n half to get from the club stand to the toilets just past the amusement part i had the raging hump so i dumped the car just passed the toilets and went n sat at the tent till half 6 then i decided to ignore the marshell people and move the railings out the way and bomb it across the muddy field to the tent had everything packed away withing 20 mins, apart from that was a great weekend proper enjoyed it :smile:
