First time at the ace cafe for me and ive got to say what a great place to have a show, the mix of cars was amazing, the place was packed later on in the night.

I think the mini went down ok, it was a bit funny pulling up at the gate, the bloke said you do know this is a ford show dont you. Lol

thanks to 1-pd for sorting this out.

Thanks, ive never had a bad reception at a passionford meet, its just genuine people with a love for cars.

its was a two hour drive back so we left a little early, it was definitely worth the long drive as had a great time.

great cars great venue and great company.

Thanks very much, i spoke to loads of people that night and no one had a bad word to say about the car, its very nice to be accepted at a ford show, it just goes to show what the people are like off this forum.

It was an old irish ralley car he said, used by a person he knew who had died , he imported it over here with a box of cd's and paper cuttings of proof that the car had won races etc.

very interesting bloke, i chatted to him for ages about it,
He did talk about selling it for the right price.

hello don't really know any of you and very late to the thread but wanted to say a quick thanks to the organisers.
Good Fordnights at the ACE are few and far between and still quite a few there by 21:00ish
Saw a nice Grey S2 RS Turbo South end of the building brought back memories for us when my driver for the eve bestmate Steve used to have an Mercury Grey XR3i and my own XR3 was a my daily driver.

ATM on crutches, damaged spine ! So I got my mate to bring me up to the Ace.
Old fords were just what was needed to perk me up especially this MK2 Cortina HMMMM
mooched around for 30mins saw some very well prepped cars but had to leave as my pain meds wore off LOL

sorry only phone snaps
