hi guys

Im looking at ideas for my fathers 50th birthday, were going to ford fair a pilgrimage we haven't achieved since i was 12 and now that i can i want to treat him. i have the flights booked hotel and car all sorted

but the one thing i cant come up with is what to do is for the Saturday before the ford fair as we'll be over there on the Friday.

Our previous visit we went to Msport for a tour and it was amazing but not something that you'd repeat. something like this though would be great as we are die hard ford fanatics.

anyone know anyone in the heritage museum that would leave us in for a look and make a 50th birthday the best in the world?? lol

my dads just a typical bloke, not asking for nothing and being there for all of our big birthdays and days making them special as they could be. Its time he got something in return that's special for him you know that way

thanks for any suggestions lads

Milton Keynes fook me do you not like your dad or something

Around my neck of the woods is beaulieu motor museum and the haynes international motor museum if you are into that sort of thing, beaulieu has top gear world where you can see their challenge cars etc.

no its just shit

if your staying for ford fair in silverstone there is far nicer places on the other (M40 side) of the A43

stay around oxford

Farmer Giles

What about the heritage motor museum at Gaydon ?

Not a million miles from Milton Keynes either..
