Default Just Back From Ford Fair

Well mixed day really imo, track action was abit of a mare with red flags it seemed every session Harveys car looked quick, AG`s too Porkies old 3dr, Mike R all looked quick out there, weather held ok to be fair, just the odd shower, all in all was ok...

Nice to bump into some old/new faces, Tev, Twells, Sticky, Shorty, Richie, Marco, Big Tony, Moonstone Steve bla bla..

I'm feeling like crap, and I would of been WAY over the limit to be driving anywhere today, I had enough of a job getting out of the taxi

Past Ford Fairs have been excellent, my favourite was 2003 iirc and a mate of mine got thrown off for showboating through Coppse (sp) in his 500+bhp Saph, made good viewing whilst it lasted though

The 2 Andrew G cars were missing like mad. I have seen them go a lot lot faster than today.
Mike's car was going really well.

Did anybody see the white Saff set on fire on track? The guy who was driving was trying to stop people to help and they just drove on bye!! a Scooby impreza stopped and come to the rescue. Hopefully it was nothing two bad as it looked like an wesome car

was a good show.watchin a white saffi put it the kitty litter at brooklands right infront of the grandstand was funny.the driver must of been gutted!

my only gripe was the nob ends who think its big and clever to nail their car on the way out of the infield and over the bridge. saw nearly 3 accidents on a 500 yard strip of tarmac.
