Default your best bit about ford fair...........

after people venting the usual complaints about food prices, traffic etc it would be nice to have a post about the good things
i sometimes feel a bit 'showed out' after going for years but still enjoy the social aspect & seeing new cars.

One of my highlights of the day was seeing 1 of my old saffs, the black 4x4, it was the best car i've ever had
Its now owned by another PF user, 'gingeRS' it looked ace & was just as would have looked if i still owned it
I put a lot of time & effort into that car & i was so pleased that someone else has carried that on


What were your good points peeps ????

i thought the whole show was awesome,plenty of variety and loads of top cars

no real downsides though,i expected the food to be pricey,and decided not to take a packed lunch....so i had to pay the prices,that's life!

saw some dodgy geezer with a 'flame' shirt though

i really enjoyed it, i knew food was gonna be exspensive, so we brought BBQ's, the day was good, but what really impressed me was 3 bouncy castles for the kids and they were completely free, now that was a nice touch imo, and ensured everyoe had a good day, very impressed with that

For me the track action was by far the most interesting i was watching it for ages some really top cars today i saw most of the cars owned by people off here which we're just too many too list lol,

I couldn't even find you lot i saw every single stand and walked round 4 times but never saw the pf stand although i saw stu and nicole arrive and lulu on her way in and various other people but everyone off here i know of were everywhere,

There cars were scattered around in all sorts of places but no one sat in them so i couldn't say hello and introduce my self

Also saving the best for last i saw rs cossie kim heading towards the cars for sale area cheers, Grant

Was an awesome day

My highlights were being on track, and holding my own around some corners..

The weather was a bit gay, but one track session, and I'm HOOKED now!
