Default back from combe and

it was a great show with great track action and a great selection of cars and great weather

downsides?

some thieving scrote pinching the oil filler cap from one of the fast ford stand cars

not sure which category to put jimmy's topless display though only thing for sure is tha there is a lot of him, and most of it has tattoo's on

I had a wicked day too! Only downside for me was the amount of non Ford on track, I reckon it was about 80% non ford if not more!

Was a good show loads of RS on display, the track action let it down for me as it wasn't as good a the past few years.
But all in a good day out.

I went today had a really good day, little sunburnt now though, big thanks to the fast ford guys for letting me on the stand , not good about the s1 with the stolen oil fillercap why would some one steal it there not much to buy,

good to see the cars out on track, was good watching si's evo racing the other red evo in the morning and the mgb going round

any one know who ownes the White 3door cossie with the sticker dusty in the rear windows? Really liked itand looked mint on the compamotive wheels
