where were all the scottish rs`s today?
 
the turnout at crail today was very poor in my opinion,5 saphs on the strip,2 or 3 s2 rs turbos,1 or 2 s1s,1 3 door and a handful of saphs on display.didnt see 1 mk3 fiesta rs turbo,forget about mondeos,new focus`es new fiestas.i mean proper rs cars.fair enough the early weather kept most away but is this a sign that most have been broken for their engines or turned into track cars?

Its still slighty too early in the year to see all the summer cars on the road as most only tax for 6 months as of april.

I was stripping wallpaper and moving sockets in my new house, would have been there otherwise.

In bits :cry::cry::cry:

155lee 16-03-2008 11:12 PM

bit of a waste of time performance ford having a magazine day in march if theres nothing worth taking pictures of.they should realise this and make their show day sometime in the summer.then theres a better chance of nice weather and more cars,instead of all the integras and other jap stuff there.

NEIL A 16-03-2008 11:23 PM

I thought it was an ok turn out ,fair enough not as much as if they had it mid summer but sure they would of got a few good pics for the mag.

col cos1 17-03-2008 06:08 PM

155lee 17-03-2008 08:24 PM

i never meant that there was nothing worth taking pics of,i meant its a waste of time them coming in march for a few nice cars,in the summer there would be a more nice cars so they should come up then!

rapidcossie 17-03-2008 08:26 PM

Nothing worth taking pics of?

you mental?

155lee 17-03-2008 08:28 PM

wulls car was the faster of the 2,i wont make excuses but my car is slow.it is standard though so theres plenty room for improvement!

155lee 17-03-2008 09:23 PM

hope nobody takes this the wrong way but i MEAN it was a poor turnout,possibly due to the time of year or the weather i hope.for it being a big ford magazine day i thought there would be more rs`s on display and on the strip and i hoped it wasnt a sign that these great cars were getting thin on the ground due to being turned into track cars,rust,stolen etc.

NEIL A 17-03-2008 10:19 PM

Like you say it is a bit early as many cars are still in bits or not back on the road but sure PF will have got a couple of feature cars out of there trip :)

Alot of cars aint on the road yet mate. The time of year IMO is quite crappy but maybe we could speak to Nick or Dave and try and get a summer one sorted too?:DD:

IMO it was a pretty decent turnout for one of the first shows of the year and there was defo planty RS's there worth taking photo's of,just cause they weren't on the strip flat out,that aint everyone's cup of tea.
The ones that were on the strip though were pretty fooking quick ones:god::god:
Plenty cars up here that will have features shortly or are well worthy of a feature. Plenty awesome RS's up here just now!:banana::king:

steviecossie 19-03-2008 10:42 AM

my car will be out as from april weather permitting

thast probably the same with most of the cars that werent at crail

will probably be at knockhill next week

garyc 19-03-2008 02:57 PM

I agree, the turnout could have been better as could the amount of fords on the strip, mind you I cant really take as I took mine through and just parked it up!

155lee 19-03-2008 11:54 PM

we had a tear up on the way there though!

stuey650 20-03-2008 11:36 AM

I have to agree it was a pretty poor show of fords, you can't blame the time of year, well you can but its held more or less the same weekend in March every year and in previous years there have been better turn outs. IMO its a ford day and to encourage Fords and discourage other crap (i.e saxo, clios, golfs etc) there should be discounted entry and discounted track prices for fords and normal price for other stuff.

Same with the Retro ford meet on the 30th, what a stupid weekend to hold it on how many cars like these are only on the road 6 months of the year, they should make it the first weekend in april or something not the last in March,

Rant over!

garyc 21-03-2008 05:02 PM

Aye Lee it was a good run through and a good day.

Cant sell the cossie now, so im gonna need to stage one tune it. Bought a quickshift for it today so I'll probably be picking your brians on how to fit it sometime in the near future!

155lee 21-03-2008 05:58 PM

stage 1.just go the whole hog and buy a stage 3 kit,you will end up there anyway!quickshift should be pretty easy to fit!

fuzzy 21-03-2008 06:05 PM

so how come all the jap stuff manages to make it to run in march but the ford stuff doesnt?
mine is german so im exempt :grin:
plus my clutch is fucked.

155lee 26-03-2008 10:27 PM

some folk wont tax their car all year i suppose,sucks a bit when its a sunny day in the winter and you cant take your car out for the sake of a tax disc though!
