anyone know what spec the yellow mk1 was that was runing with the Drag boys doing 11`s?

Model T was CLASS! :respect: for giving it some!

YB power? no way i want top fuel sapphire now lol

BEST ford show ive been to in a long long time,

since ive been in the VAG scene for a few yrs, im on the hunt for another Ford

Southern fried Crispy Sean, but happy...........aaaaaaaaaaah

 

Was a really good show, fantastic weather too for a change!

 

Agreed ace weather and cars a true cracker of a day.

 

seen you a few times on the way home Ade, stunning 3dr matey

Cars made it for me today, im a northern lad so hate heat anyway lol

hope Ford Fair is just as good

 

That sounds like my mates cozzied mk1 escort quite a tallish fella his names Darren excellent painter too, I think he was lnt going mad in it today as he had a problem with his inter cooler, so was just gonna have a blast with it

 

Was a great show for me, the pale blue mk1 escort that did a 8 sec pass at 145mph was a shocker, looked like a bogo 1969 escort till he hooked it up.

Steve

 

Cheers Sean I hope so too, fingers crossed for Fordfair

 

that blue mk1 mentioned earlier in the thread was immence, the way it launched from the start.

 

Thought it was a good day... Jet car was a bonus too!

I now want a Mk 1 or 2

Forgot the lotion and feeling it a bit now ouch!!

 

top fuel drag car was insane!...

great weekend and great people.

 

That jet car is the bain of my life, i would either prefer to not see it or it be replaced with a top fuel funny car, purely IMO ofcourse

Steves white cossied mk2 fiesta also rocked my world, 11`s....... Launch it man dont fuck about lol Well done Steve

 

9.6 was the best today for the mk1 but its got more to come as was only running 20psi

 

i must have missed this, what was the spec?
was it a sportsman drag car or Ford RWYB?

 

p.s Turnover, your mk2 impressed as per usual, spec on yours please or a build thread?

 

well it didnt impress me lol as it has a new owner and has been remapped to alot less power hence running 12s and not 9s ,but still a lovely car

 

i noticed the higher figures and poor driving but didnt want to take the piss

hope the sale was what you wanted and have a new build for us to look at soon

 

For those who missed it I managed to catch a quick video. Excuse the shakes, Was using my SLR with a 200mm lens!

I had seen it there a few years back so had a bit of a chat with the owner. Its a 2.0litre vauxhall lump (xe maybe) with a stonking great turbo. Was running 20psi today and he's aiming for 30+psi next year

 

ye was dals mk1 had a quick chat with him was a good day its run a 10.2 i think

 

that was afkin pocket rocket and a fab show best ever pod show top doller ade love your motor mate nice car

 

had a really good day there was loads of real nice and quick cars to look at,
it was my first time going and carnt wait for 2013 show,i just need to remember to slap on more sun cream next time lol

 

Last years Classic Ford day was also fkin hot so it's not always cold and wet there (just usually).
I noticed the huge difference in performance and thought it must be a different car copying the appearance of yours.

Was a great day with lots of stunning cars to drool over.

 

jurrasic?

 

Same here, i wish it would go away.
Frigging jet engine on it and it's still way slower than a top fuel.

 

Glad everyone enjoyed it - for the last two years running it's pissed down with rain about 2/3pm so good to have weather like that.

Kev Jenkins in the blue LET powered Mk1 Escort did fantastically well, when he ran the 9.5 on Saturday there were cheers in the stand as people had been waiting to see that car get a sub 10.

Terry - I wondered what had happened to your car! Who mapped it then? And it looked like a young-ish kid driving it - is that who owns it now?

 

Is it a lad called Billy who has bought your car from sunderland???

 

yes i know Billys bought it of the guy i sold it to ,but the chap i sold it to had the boost lowered and remapped by dave rowe ,

Si the young lad is the owners son,but after talking to Billy i dont think it will be long before the powers put back up

 

Really?/ could of sworn it did a high 8 maybe low 9 something and 144mph, not the run in the vid above as thats in a different lane to when I see it run on sunday but will take your word for it m8

Steve

 

Steve I thought the same, I thought it did a 9.0 it must be our old age

 

Even Tracy said she thought it did a better time as she was so impressed with how quick it was she even took her eyes off facebook for a split second lol

Steve

 

It was so quick!

lol at facebook, My Mrs took my wallet and went off with my son for a hour needless to say it was a lot lighter when they returned

 

it ran 9.5 @ 141mph on sat night ,sunday ran 9.6 ,9.6 , 9.7 not bad for 20psi on a gt40 but Gorden has mapped it to 30 psi for now ,but Kev the owner says with 20psi its getting a bit loose at the top end ,well with 7j rims lol whats to be expected ,so hes getting some widder rims and tyres then maybe give it the 30psi
