I hope you've told them what a bunch of wankers they are?

Or are they too busy discussing how to change the KAM fuse intensely?

Saw this on Pistontards

"About 10:30 there appeared to be some kind of Sierra upside down off the A43 near the A5 junction, quite possibly it had been on it's way to the Ford event at Silverstone. Does anyone know what happened or whether the driver was OK?"

Hope no-one from off here, and hope no injuries!

It was a good day out and a good turnout too. Fair play for organising it Steve

Who's cars developed issues today then?

My clutch has started slipping and my starter has cooked itself! safe to say its getting stripped and sold now!

Had a great day out, loads of nice cars but there does seem to be less and less of the 80s & 90s vehicles than i've seen previous years.
Saw a couple of cars that didn't quite make it home in one piece, first was a black Focus ST with front & rear passenger side damage and next to it was a Racing Puma with frontal damage being loaded on to a recovery vehicle. Does anyone know what happened with these? Presumably the damage was a result of a track incident.

I saw that but i thought it looked like a Series 1 RS Turbo but it was well embedded in the hedge with a police aware sticker covering part of the back so i could be mistaken. Hopefully the driver and any passengers were ok (just damaged pride).

Great day guys! All it's made me do though is get the spanners out!

Front bumper is coming off to sort out alignment problems and strip down under the bonnet to powder coat and tidy up.

This is the problems with the shows I just end up wanting the car better.

Decided I definitely want leather too...

Set up is going to go on the back burner until its tidyed up, it can sit in the garage for a while!

Huge thanks to Steve for organising the stand today - no mean feet with such a large stand

Yeah - One of my members car was the FRP - it's got a lovely 460bhp Duratec conversion and it's probably a write off.

He went into Woodcote nicely, but came out and onto the power a tad too early creating oversteer on cold tyres - he started to corrected it but not before the Focus ST behind him (too close behind him perhaps?) had whacked the front end of the FRP. That in turn span the FRP round so the rear slammed into the side of the Focus.

Front and rear chassis / suspension components are bent and twisting meaning the only probably way to cure it is a re-shell unfortunately.
