Default National Day, parking a non Ford inside the gates....

Yo people.

Just wondering about National Day next week, is there anyway of getting a non Ford (RS) car inside away from the public car park?

Just, i didn't really want to park my car on the public car park, heard too many horror stories about Donny!!

why do you think your car should be by a trade stand . if your car is a ford rs and you are a club member then you have to grt in tuch with a club to be on a stand that is why its called RS day

Anyone else notice the irony of a scouser being worried about having his wheels nicked?
