Was a good day Neil think most of the Fords are still having their winter rebuilds so not had to open up to an all make day to make sure it went ahead

Still had 2 x RST, mondeo, escort, mk1 escort, Zetec S (two Anglias on show and Tabethas saph) quite a big percent there were Fords

I was very impressed with the frost crew, and zoe was ace at organising everyone together, very professional and friendly it was.
My sat nav directions were rubbish took me right through Ipswich town centre from A14, instead of the "toys r us", road in seemd much easier.
Sorry about me lad eating all the biccies, I'll buy some more!!

Yeah was a top day out! alot bigger than the last rolling road day i went to there! was good to see a few new faces even though i didnt know who most of your were so name badges are a must next time lol!! Still think the mk1 golf is completely MAD and such a awsome sleeper! Big thanks to jay, zoe and everyone else for making it a good day out!

Great to meet you in the flesh at last Maria! was hilarious you having to take the M3 out, tell the chap how to turn the traction off thank you so much for coming back!
Adam plugged the Skoda into code reader rather than come out with me, dunno what he was scared of, maybe he thought I'd grab his leg instead of the gearstick

Good to meet Tabs (your boy was welcome to the biscuits bless him!) Simon XR (& Vanessa and the little one) J1mbo, Leon (the Mex sounded AWESOME), MondyZS. I only knew a few people there already so lots of new faces (didn't even see Rossco!)
Rob the RST looks like a totally different car! Looking good.

Nice so many people turned up, I didn't seem to have much time for chatting, I didn't do much jut wandered around with a clipboard accosting people

Sure the K-Tec Megane is capable of reaching more than 257bhp probably needs setting up now the intercooler is on it (I think its only got a K-Tec exhaust system and the i/c now) I love it

Really enjoyed the day, even though was knackered! Look forward to the next one!

Guys at Frost are great, Rindy always got time to chat to everyone

Z

It kept cutting out, or , well kind of hitting a rev limiter at 6500rpm, even thought it was due to redline until 8000
