I have loads of photos from previous years but didnt take many this time. I am suprised there hasnt been lots of people posting their photos.There were lots of cars there as usual.


My Saff was the only one on the main central tarmac parking area. Saffs were very thin on the ground this year.



3 proper original GT40s. very nice!!!

think there was a BIG issue with where the clubs were positioned. Apparantly the show was parking pay on the day parking infield which upset a lot of clubs.

Glad i couldnt make it now

Nobody seems to post up pictures from shows like they used to. Probably due to faceache.

Yeah that would have annoyed me if that was the case, clubs have always been in the centre, I've parked mine there the last few years

Probably won't bother next year, can't be arsed walking half a mile to the heart of the show, and I'm pretty sure most of the attendees wouldn't have bothered making the trek out to our stand in the next postcode area either.
Well worth spending an entire day washing, polishing and hoovering ready to display it.

They tried to send me out in the field as well but I insisted I park up on the central tarmac area like I have always done every year since Simply Ford started.
I think this year wasnt as well organised as other years.

I took a load.

I'll have to get them off my memory card over the next few days.

My heart wasn't in it as much this year. Was great to get my saff out for a run but as cossynut2 said, saffs were really thin on the ground. I also only saw one RS1600i which was a shame as I'm really into my mk3 escorts right now...
