Looking forward to this! So nice to catch up with the Ford family even though we don't actually have the cossie anymore
Will also be the first one in a while I can relax on, as not taking my car so won't be stressing about going out on track. Can enjoy being the passenger for once! Although I don't know how relaxing that will be with Jb driving!!
See you all there

plenty of petrol stations around the area but with 20,000+ people expected at the show I would just worry about arriving rather than washing

I told future publishing we are not going if placed on other side of the track and a 130 cars booking did the trick

The run to and fom mot were data logged and emailed to the mapper, he should be altering the map to make it a safer base for getting some miles on it, so its never say never. lol

We only decided to build the saff last week lol the Granada cossie is all stripped ready for weighing in plus we only need to swap the rear beam, then lift the engine in and it should be ready for some sideways action I think it'll look quite cool as its the light metallic green colour, slammed on granny cos rims the car itself was mint before we started and has fsh and only done 100k but looking at the interior you'd think it'd done 20k! It's honestly the cleanest saff interior I've seen and everything fitted perfect or it did before we took it apart
