So, who is going?

Whe are ready to go, already there


@Silverstone golfclub

 

in recent years its lost its appeal to the old skool as new generation of focus fest pop n bangers have taken over sadly, price increases of Ł10 in last 2 years did not help, all the same whoever goes I hope they enjoy it

 

 

I'll be there, on the XR4 Register stand.

 

current queue taken 11 mins ago, not my photo so dont blame me lol

 

I cant see why people just dont camp over. I wanna start getting back into my cars shows when my son is a bit older.

 

Lol that’s why I don’t go anymore shit to get in and most of the cars there you can see on roads every day

 

Best way Glenn. No hassle and shit. Time to relax and have some beers.

Weather looking good so far.

 

scene has just changed fella not for me sadly so will stick to smaller regional ones etc

 

~Me too!

 

Allot of people of Facebook saying it wasnt good

 

been saying that for a few years waiting for it to be renamed focus fest , I own a focus but dont want to see 1000s of the fuckers, plus things like the exhaust sound off area and pop n bang shite god give me strength

 

Indeed a lot of Fiesta or Focus ST and Focus RS mk II and III.

But we had a good day and took a few pics.

 

Lol I’m the same got a mk3 rs but newer fords don’t really interest me to the point i’d travel to a show to see them

 

some great pics there and you managed to find some decent cars too , some of which are passionford owners too


shame but thats the new scene for you

 

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.
Hopefully everyone who went enjoyed it.
Unfortunately not for me anymore, old days were better

 

pretty sure the owner of this saph had a narrow escape on way home when his towing 4x4 went up in flames on motorway , unhooked the trailer and saved the cossie ,

for those of you with facebook you may have seen the video footage

 

yes that was jim gibbs old saff he built ,very lucky

 

lucky he got out of it and saved his car dave

 

We camped over ,done it for a few years now ,makes it a better weekend and a right laugh ,no queing either as you go in the back way on the farmers road then after the show we do the same back to the camp site and relax and let the traffic clear then leave

 

Gutted. At least the saff was ok.. Was there many old skool fords there then.

 

That blue transit had a mazda turbo engine in it

 

looks like a laugh dave Im too old for the camping lark lol, Glenn not many tbh 75% focus and fiestas

 

Yeah most of it are the new Fiesta ST and Focus ST together with the Focus RS mk III.

Good thinking about saving that Sapphire.

Gonna have breakfast and then we're leaving Silverstone today.

 

Thanks mate. Don't know al of the pf posters but I spotted the Twins car.

 

Have a great trip home

 

Ah the annual "slag off Ford Fair" thread

Owners of old cars upset because they're not kings of the castle anymore. I'm sure the MK1/2 Escort folk were exactly the same when Cossies and RSTs took over 'their' scene. It's a shame we can't just be grateful that Ford have been making such great performance cars in recent years that so many people want to buy them, take them to shows and keep the Ford scene alive.

Some nice metal above. Shame I couldn't go along this year.

 

@ twins ; thanks.

See ya @ efe Venray?

 

Nothing to slag off mate. Yes true there are a lot of fiesta and focus st/rs but we had lots to see and had a great day.

As you say...time goes by and nothing last forever.
But i'm always happy to see an old Ford.

 

Yes we are at venray,but not many can come this time so we come in our mondeos this year ,we will have all the cars back over for next year

 

Sorry, my comments weren't aimed at you, just the usual whinging from others. It's funny how every generation gets upset when things change and their thing is no longer top of the pile.

 

People are just expressing their opinion which they are perfectly entitled too

 

Nice pictures,

The 2x Mk5 fiestas look interesting, any more info on those?

 

I went in the Cossie, was ok to be fair, trade area was very quiet I thought.

 

Silver one has a black top turbo in it running about 270bhp converted by my mate gary (gadget) for my other mates chris and stuart they joint own the car,they built it from a standard car

Blue one has a mk1 one focus rs in it ,mate dan bought it a few years back ,standard looks with engine 340bhp ,we have done it to what you see here body mods, cage etc ,mate gary (gadget ) rebuilt the engine after dan destroyed it on track also turbo upgrade now forged too being run in at moment will be 400bhp when mapped

 

Christ, bet they go well!
I have just done a puma conversion on mine so can only imagine what it would be like with a MK1 frs engine in,
Fair play, alot of time and work must have gone Into both cars

 

i went with the kids
they loved it
junior took 7.7gb of photos, not sure how much the girl took but it was plenty
we did the normal thing of getting there early and then having a wander about to say hello to the various other folks who got there early and then just spent the rest of the day bumming around and looking at cars
we were parked right opposite the classic ford stand and both kids were loving the old school stuff
we sat around for the track action too but with the closed stands it was a bit shit

plus i got the girl to sit in the front on the ay there so she could get her face in the frame
left at around 5.30am, got home at around 7.30pm and enjoyed most of it a lot
i know people say it's gone downhill and the auto jumble was a bit poor and the trade stands weren't as plentiful as they used to be and most of them were selling cleaning products because everyone these days wants to clean their cars but times move and if you don't move with them you get left behind
it is finance fair these days, but you got to get that product out there someone and what better way to spend a saturday night than drinking vodka and chatting about a shitty car show with other grumpy fucks
