I didn't realise how much hard work went into polishing a car and nowadays I can totally understand their frustration

To answer the Q "Ford Fair 2014,You Ready?"

yes i am now, popped out in the saff to the cafe and to get some fuel, and it had developed a very anoying squeak!


jacked up, and one of my CV boots had popped off resulting in a loss of grease!

quick strole down to the local car place, one tub of his best CV grease, regreased and boot refitted, nice and quite again!


Boots loaded ready for a 4.30 alarm call, wake up the whole street then round to doga-ot's place to wake up all his neighbours too

Collected the car friday as there was no way we were missing Ford Fair. Not been able to clean it as it was pissing it down earlier. Trying to load the car on a wet trailer with semi-slicks on is not a good idea, even with 4wd.

I just hope the weather picks up. I'm about 8 miles from silverstone and its been thunder storms and very heavy rain for the last few hours.

Made two failed attempts to wash my car now.

we had a bit of rain earlier today in london but nothing major now the suns out and its all dry, so safe trips all heading to silverstone and FYI all on the passionford stand remember to write your REG NUMBER on the stand pass as some marshalls may ask you to do this prior to letting you in and be on stand by 8.30am at latest

Car washed and polished at work. Then drove down on wet roads do had to wash it again when I got down here. Think 4 quid for a basic jet wash takes the piss though. A fiver up our way gets a full on wash,dry and tyre shine from the foreigners.

The cossie never missed a beat on the way home. There was no traffic jams so the car was ok.

It was a good job I took some coolant with me lol. It might be time to buy an updated fan loom.

glad to hear that mate

tried to find you are the rest of the pf peeps yesterday but only really met steve and tommys keeper (i think) and wes and a few other fleeting hellos

got to say the rs mania stand i was on felt more like i'm used to, big enough to have a good group of people that you could talk to, yet not so big as to have to spend your day organising things like steve has done because of the size of pf, not that it's a bad thing, i'm just more comfortable with a smaller stand and i doff my cap to steve for putting in all that hard work
