Diva's is fooked (cracked block) but it done 750 HARD miles at 33psi and it got us home fine so all is good, it just needs a new engine.

Stickys was mint too, until he parked up outside ours and the rad popped.

Overall all was good, was a awesome trip with even better people.

Looking foward to the next one.

Yeah good to meet you mate....hope you had a good weekend.

As Shorty said Carlo...Robbie's cracked his block, my alternator failed on the 1st day so had to wait for Guido to bring me a new regulator then the captive nut went on the anti roll bar so the car didn't even do one lap this year, then to cap it all off, the alloy rad popped on the way home

All in all it was a top weekend with a top group of people & by far the best one yet

Absolutely awesome trip for me this year,deffo the best road trip i`ve had so far.........met a load of new people and got to know some existing aquaintances a little better

My poor old Sapphy is fooked though,initial borescope investigation suggests number 2 cylinder bore has failed

Oh and to add insult to injury,after getting back all the way home on a wing and a prayer,she spat the end tank off the radiator as we pulled up outside the house

So all in all,a mega trip with some fantastic people

Just looks like i`ll be busy in the workshop for a while.....

Better start making a list then.....

Mines already started-

Replace turbo water hose leaking.
Oil Change & Filter now the engine is run in.
Cam Seals.
Cam Bearings.
Replace Alloy rad.
Put the adj TCA's/tracking.
Balance front comedy wheels.
Sort the Anti Roll Bar.

Why do we bother with these shonky Fords
