Taken 45mins to get out which wasn't bad I anticipated at least a hour initially.

Wish Pod was nearer blackpool though.

this show is getting better and better each year, to see club parking opened up in rear field was a shock as there was so many there, grandstand was packed as was the banked spectators viewing point as well as the whole 1/4 mile and show itself, estimated 18,000 enjoyed the fantastic hot and sunny day

That was chris in his 4x4 450bhp yb powered s2 he managed a 11.6@127mph on first run. I done a 12.9@ 114 in my 2wd saff which wasn't too bad considering my 2.25 60ft time lol

It was just good to see such variety at a Ford show for a change, not just rows and rows of the same car!

Sure was busy - at one point the stands and grass banking were so packed me and my mates couldn't find anywhere to sit! Not seen that at Pod for a long time.

Strip action was also bit quiet on previous years but loved the buzz in the stands from seeing all the tuning company rivalry! Harris cars all looked so strong on the strip.

I doubt attendance was 18,000 though - where did you hear that?

Classic Ford is better than Ford Fair for me but camping adds to the craic

Nice to see traders selling something worth buying rather than tatt
