Default TOTB finding it hard to get excited about going

was looking forward to this years TOTB,

but right at the last moment, my mate who was going with me has let me down,

and now has to work


my cars up steves getting some last minute changes,

so the plan is to pick it up from steve scotts saturday and drive up to york, camp over and then do the event, and drive back sunday night ready for work monday morning,

the trouble is the five plus hour drive back towing, by my self is not appealing!

even ended up with a spare ticket now,

if i had known this from the start i would have done ford fair instead,

perhaps when i get up there i may be a bit more up for it,

at totb your just another no hope ford contender (hope you kick ass really but we will see by the figures)
at ford fair your car would be demi god worshipped by all and sundry,
you work it out where you should be....
dont just ask for my opinion, please other people respond as to where you would like to see this car ?

Martin,
You have to see if your mods have improved the car, so TOTB is the only place you can have a direct comparison to last year .

Surely you have more than one friend .

i think what nomad means is that most of the spectators at totb will be into other marques, so that will be their attitude. whereas at ford fair, everyone is into fords and can appreciate this car for what it is

read his post again.

Martin,

If you're stuck for somewhere to stay I don't mind putting you up for the night. i'm having a BBQ tomorrow afternoon with a few friends but you're more than welcome to come up, have a few beers and stay the night. I'm in Selby so it's about 30mins away if that

PM me if you want more details fella

Well I think both your cars look wicked mate & am looking forward to seeing whichever one you are taking. Do it for all the Ford fans who aren't going to ford fair.

I'm quite looking forward to TOTB.

As for people not appreciating Fords, I drive Jap Crap and still love the cossie, people can appreciate good cars regardless of who they are made by, if they can't then they are too far up their own arses and not worth bothering about.

I would think ANYONE really into performance Fords will be at TOTB3, unless you want spares, have a show car or want to just mooch. Whatever floats your boat. I look forward to seeing your car at TOTB Martin
