Weather was good but that had nothing to do with the event, event itself was pretty dull as its been in recent years, you can see they are struggling with this event now as its no longer a all ford event and no longer as rs show

I went and won't be going next year. The atmosphere was crap the trade stands weren't very good. Seems to be going downhill very fast central day. Been going the last 7-8 years and it's died the last 2 years.

Seems to be going the way I've heard on many car shows mind, is it any different to other marque events? Seems to me like all car sows are struggling these days for some reason.

I went to ford live on Sunday at knockhill and it was a great great show that grows year on year.
I understand it's miles and miles for a lot of people to travel but it's definitely worth an overnight stay.

Great atmosphere, great track, great support equals great day out...

I saw some pics of the day as my son and few of his mates attended to go up the strip, I chose to attend the london motor show instead as I have drawn a line under the pod event, the reports were the weather helped numbers for sure but it was more like the usual weekend RWYB day rather than a show, but as ever its each to their own and all that, but pics of fitp looked like thats pepped back up a bit so fair play and ford live was a cracking event too as my cousins went to that

I went. Was okay but not great. Went to ford fest there last year which was 10 times better. Few good cars on the track though. Went on in my mates focus st which was a laugh. Nt sure it was worth the 270 mile round trip though

I think i saw a total of 3 may be 4 cosworths running up the strip and two of them where being driven by a mate, if the old skool fords had'nt of been racing i don't think there would have been much going up the strip.

The thing is now these old fords are starting to go up in value so people are scared to use them on the strip.

I went to a rs show at Donnington about 2007 and there was loads of old fords on track.
