the Pf stand was in a good place.
the Cleveland rsoc didn't have a stand cos the main Club fooked it up and said there was no space for our stand

I looked whilst there and there was loads of space and one group who booked space never even turned up
Never took the cossie But at least the petrol was free in my dads company mazda!!

thought we got a cracking spot.to be fair i thought they were out of order to put aolt of groups crammed together in the shitty bit before the bridge on the way in. i bet many couldnt be bothered to walk over there and there was plenty of room inside on the tarmac/grass areas.

I agree, where we were was fine IMO. I know what you mean about those over the bridge. Didn't notice them til we were leaving. Felt kinda guilty after walking round everywhere else

The OddKidd Creations stand was in a great place

It was right next to the Escort Mk3 Thrash cars (on the cover of this months Fast Ford Mag..) which were all part of the Fast Ford stand. It featured most of the cars from the thrash and also over 15 of our cars from the website forum..

Was an awesome day, have had so much fun

Thanks to many people for their help and support..

I thought you were in a good spot

The FEOC-uk.com that I paid tickets for didnt have a stand, as we found out on the friday before going

So some of us that still went camped out and blaged our way into Silverstone and got our own paddock just down from you guys

Our stand saved us parking at the main car park




This was just down from us


Then the show pics I took

Agree with Kimmy, Are Stand was on the concrete part this year and was pleased with where we was placed. Last year we were over the bridge of the 0-60 and no one really bothered looking at the local groups

Well I was pleased where we was put

The organisers of the event have a great deal to worry about let alone worrying about if we are all happy with our stand spaces too!

We've been put in the corner, put on the grass, put at the end of the show at all shows for the past 2-3 years now! This was the first show that we got a wicked location So thank you to the guys & girls @ Future

At the end of the day where ever you are its what you make of the stand & of the day which turns it into a great day out

Like all things in life you have to make the best of them

I thought you were going to make it round at one point, you were very close to keeping hold of it.

I've got a few photos of it in the trap if you're interested. I was pretty far away though!
