Default Bellend at FF but Enjoyed the show though :)

Came across a right dick head at this years show. One guy got arsey about me standing next to his car while i was taking a picture of a Aubergine Escort Cosworth which was parked next to his Green Focus RS.

Apart from that, was a great day. Saw some lovely motors are some that were just 'Silly' (in a OMFG that must be quick lol)

Will post up pictures tonight

Good, i hope he does. If you don't want people standing near your car, bringing it to a car show is possibly the worst thing you can do! Its not as if i was leaning or touching it. I wasn't even facing it.

They are certainly popular! I'm doing lots of miles with work and I see so many of them on the roads.

more mk2 frs's than you could shake a shitty stick at! How boring. As for the grumpy cunt, if you don't want people near your car, don't got to a bloody car show! Idiots.

Tell you what though. Some of the Focus RS's i saw had very minor mods that made the car look sooooooo much better.

Some just had been lowered a little and spacers added to the rear wheels which gave the RS a much wider stance and filled the arches correctly. Looked fantastic.

Got to be a good thing. Shows ford there's still a market for them which will hopefully lead to new different models of RS's

righto mate...somehow i thought fordfair and ford shows was for all type`s of blue ovals with ford wrote in them regardless of how many there are of each..but i do agree with ya to a point..and the problem is the older stuff like you say is great but rather thin on the ground these days which is a shame as i both enjoy the older stuff aswell as the new.

You are indeed right what unites any show goer..is the name badge be it on a 010 plate FRS or a C plate XR2 .. I guess its just becomming acustomed to the "new" look of fords on the whole..

As said above give it a further 10 years and we'll be having to explain to folk what a S1 turbo ot tickford Capri looked like and its that "nostalgia" that should be upkept but at the same time its about prevervation on the whole..
