On one side:

"Hit a pothole and crashed"

And for the prosecution:

"He was all smokey and the bandit doing 170 mph before jumping over the roundabout"

As said, i wasnt there so cant really comment, but plenty of people will become expert witnesses after reading 4 posts on the internet

Try and find some pics of the winners Steve if possible then those who didn't attend will know.

The Cortina was a worthy winner

you never get many ford meets at the cafe nowadays as they used to get a bad rep, so its very tough proving to management you are a well organised crew, our event is annually to celebrate passionfords birthday, but keep a eye on the ace cafe website as there are car & bike events on daily throughout the year
