Default tonites pf meet

after the making the choice of weather to hold the meet or not, we finally decided to go for it and it was a suprisingly large turnout considering how bad the weather was, we were blessed witha rather long rain storm at one point which saw everyone dash to the safety of there cars, but after a while we ventured out again, well done to all those that braved the elements, the only good thing about the rain was it allowed for some proper sideways action.....which of course is totally unacceptable some pics to follow shortly

I was just coming back from the Cinema and it made the Radio!!!! some bird who works down the Seafront was chatting to the DJ and she said she was still down there looking after the cruisers. The DJ asked if that was normally only a weekend thing but she said that every first wednesday is 'Ford night' and that people have come as far as Brighton. Apparently still busy down there

i'm still wet

windscreen stayed relatively mist free on the way back... that wiper trick works greg

had a nice drive back, found it impossible to get traction when pulling away, cornering etc but then i spose that is the reason i bought the car in the 1st place :P

glad the carpark oposite maccyDs was open too n ginge i did notice you back you car away as i spun it facing you dont you trust me or summink :P

didnt do too badly against a stg1 RST either

Fookin not long been back! 40mph most of the journey back towards cambridge! A14 was like a fooking lake! just spent the last 30 mins shammy'in the rs down, couldn't leave it in that state oh my god!

Fook knows why I came, In a way was silly, but hey, had to show the dedication I suppose, as ppl said wern't a bad turnout! just glad I made it home in one peice! had a few close calls with a few fooking lakes on the road JESUS!

So who was the nutter in the orion turbo? and what did he have on it to make it bang like that Didn't sound like als

Top nite considering!

Think the idea is ot shame me to get off my ass and shame inot stop finding excuses and getting my arse out of my rppm feeling shit and do something.

Just had a lot go wrong with personal shit (not after sympathy) and few issues to knock my confidnce not had the buzz to do drive again.

But going to Pf meets and doing the Essex shoe as made me buck up my ideas

Morning peeps

I was gonna come on here last night, however I was way too busy drying myself and ringing out my clothes

Well impressed with the amount of cars and peeps that turned up, as Cossienuts said we did sit there on the phone saying

What do we do,, canel,, go???
I duno, what you wanna do??
I don't know,,,
You decide
No you,,,,



The A127 on the way there, omg It was like a flowing river,,pmsl
SO pleased I didn't drive in the end

Good turn out all the same,,,well done to everyone!!

The bloke in the Orion is Paul,,,his a good lad really!! Don't know why he kept hitting the rev limiter though, fooking made me jump though

Good to meet AlanS1 and a couple of others

Wicked news about the Radio,,,,how funny is that
Must of been Christene,,,,good girlie, free advertising and all that, least she told em we weren't CRUISERS,,,,,lol Good girl

We left at 4pm, we were gonna play some crazy golf, play in the arcades then have a Wimpy then join everyone along the front.
Well we got as far as Chelmsford and got fed up of doing 50mph down the A12 and seeing foooook all, so we turned back!
Still there will be many more, each one bigger and better!
