True enough, times have changed that's a fact. I went and it was ok but not what it was years back. Current and late Ford's covered more so with less old skool but still a few. Cost is very expensive to get in or buy anything whilst on site which is putting folk off, use to be my favourite show but not anymore which is a shame because it use to have a buzz around it.

It was weirdly quiet this year IMO. Drove straight in (as public) without any queues at all and that was around 10:20 so hardly late.
Didn't feel there was much of an atmosphere on site. Cars wise, I knew what I was in for so I won't go through that normal PF grumble
Think the last time I went was 2012, so a decade and its definitely not what it was. I'll stick to the mixed brand shows

i get the moaning. too much of the same thing etc etc. it's probably what the cortina and capri crowd were saying when we were all there in cossies and rs turbos with different wheels and underbonnet bling
I bet if you're young and own a focus or fiesta, you'd probably love it. Most of us on here are older now, so prefer the older fords which are now becoming a rarity. There were a few and i enjoyed seeing them, as well as enjoying some modern fords with different mods. It did feel a bit quiet this year i'll agree, but that could have been to do with the 30+ degree heat and complete lack of shade!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Im mid 50s and enjoy my modded Focus ST mk2 tbh and its creature comforts like ice cold A/C, most of the cossie owners no longer drive them and are in storage waiting on values to rise even further to sell, I attended the festival of speed this year and yes its a expensive show but damn you do get a hell of a lot of things to see and do and no wonder its spread over many days as impossible to take it all in on a single day visit

Hi Steve I have only been to 3 car shows this year , Simply Ford at Beaulieu,(My local just 10 minutes away) Classic Ford at Ardingley, West Sussex and Goodwood Festival of Speed and I have to say they were all really good. Loads of interesting cars, plenty to see and do, met some very friendly people and had a great time at all three. Ford Fair has never appealed to me as the pop bang brigade put me off!!

I like beaulieu and the new forrest just a pain travelling to there from the smoke, Goodwood for me this year was off the scale with a feature packed event, expensive but good and rest of time I stick to local events and breakfast meet type ones, Sorry to say the lure of ford fair has gone as seems to be the way with all kelsey run events when money is more important than people
