If i can get mine finished and im sure yours will be tickety boo by then too.
Camping was a laugh but the 4 hours sleep in a sleeping bag made for a 6 year old was not a highlight of the weekend for me
However as you stated your favourite quote....
"Look lads not being funny i want to go to sleep now !"
Anyone for camping at Ford Fair

Which one did you get, and whats the space like for tools, spares ect. behind seats or on the bed?

under front seat there is room and in the footwell.
But not a great deal... just load the saph up with spares mate.
I have just booked it again for Ford Fair just incase its not running.

Hi, i'm actually new here, but i was on track as much as i could be. It was my first day ever on the track, and i drove the car up and back and it performed perfectly engine wise. I didnt realise how much work needs to be done to the car
tyres were RUBBISH! and huge amounts of body roll. I don't know if i can make anymore shows this year cos that one cost so much. But i will be back next year with more power, especially as when getting home from the show, i found my supercharger back from the fabricators.
I would like to appologise if i got in anyones way, i'm sorry im a complete noob. And id also like to thank reyland for passing me so quickly, it was as good as experience as being out first time as i really appreciated how much of a weapon both are!

and koni adjustables went on order today, as did omp accerssories.
Brakes were good actually, escos standard brakes, but on a lighter car. They were fading early on, but i was braking far far too early, braking real late and harder, they were spot on.
true, although i havnt driven any other circuits, ive watched around others, and i do like combe, after essess that slight right hander, burying the throttle, perfect moment
#181

Well, only just found time to post up on this...
What a day!
Really enjoyed it. Huge thanks to all in the Gayzebo (you sure put the camp back into camping) for the warm welcome, Neil @ Fast Ford for being a legend!
Was good to finally put some faces to names.
Good times

The Gayzebo is dead now mate the wind killed it on Saturday daytime, went back to pack it away and the poor thing was mangled to death in the hedge. Sad times Only lasted 24hours from purchase too
I cant believe we must of had a good 12-14 people crammed in there, Gay 80s classics and even led lights and glow sticks FPMSL..
Good to see you though mate, and glad everyone enjoyed the camping the night before. Show was brilliant if a little breezy
