Default Ford Fair broke my car

Well finished off clutch and brake pads at Beds rsoc track day. All fixed and lots of work done and ready for Ford fair. 1st session on track throttle cable snapped. You would have thought that on all the auto jumble and trade stands someone would have a throttle cable for an escos noooo.

Well with the help of my fellow beds rsoc crew and some chocolate blocks and cable ties car was well enough to limp home but no more track time bo hoo!!!



What are shows coming to when you cant get a part for a ford at probably the biggest ford event of the year!!!



Well great day apart from alot of time lost in trying find parts that no one had lol.

Had a nice tour of the tracks and tunnels though courtesy of a nice break down truck!!!



Cheers



Ian

Yes mate thought they would do it for me but did the intro and handed me the mike lol.

Also me that was towed around the stands and show think he went the wrong way on purpose for a cruze the long way around and a break.. Top man dropped me right on the beds stans though lol.

Drove the car home on a concockted chocolate block and cable ties. Just wouldnt have trusted it on track like that though!!!
