The valves were knackered in the cvh head but I already had a suitable replacement. I should have the new head back tomorrow and hopefuly will be ready for fordfair now will be running 2.1 Zetec turbo instead of zvh

should not be a problem fella as I intend to have all those doing track time near the entrance to the stand so access should be fine in and out,

Exercised the Autoglym creams and lotions, filled up with fuel, tickets and pass in the car ready. Now to charge camera, organise some picnic... My first show this year (been a tough one!) but really looking to meeting many friends again, especially Steve (1-PD).

Cheers, John

Question time.

I wasn't going to do Ford Fair as my lass is pregnant, and was due Wednesday gone and there's still no baby arrived
Now that it's actually here I really want to go. I've got hold of a stand pass etc.
So question is should I take a chance and go knowing I live 4hours away, but realistically could do the journey home in under 3 hours if needs be?

if you were planning being present its a massive risk and a fair journey too

Spent the past 4 hours washing, polishing and waxing the Fiesta RS, removed the wheels and cleaned all the arches and wheels and detailed up the engine bay too...

Fuelled up, oil and water levels checked and it's now parked on the drive ready for the drive up. Can't wait!

FAO those camping

Due to unforeseen circumstances the link road between Whittlebury Park campsite and Silverstone Circuit will be closed this weekend. For those of you entering the venue via Whittlebury Park please be advised to use the main entrance via the A43
