It all started Saturday night at 11:30pm when i picked up Simon we had to take a slight detour via portsmouth so he could pick up some things. The journey finally started about midnight we took the A3 as we didnt see a need to rush and went past the devils punch bowl (100 ft drop straight down either side of the road), We got to toddington services on the M1 where i stopped for a walk round, whilst inside i put a pound in the toy grabbing machines and to my amazement i won first time then alan put a pound in and won his bully.


We then left after a quick go in the massage chairs, got to ellington at 4am and after a quick drive round we decided to go to sleep by the church, woke up at 5:30 and stood with alan, woke simon up at 6 and went to a little village called spaldwick (about 2 minutes down the A14).


Where we pulled into what we thought was a layby but actually turned out to be someone's driveway, got back to ellington about 7:30 where Simon was waiting so we introduced ourselves and had a little chat then laura turned up followed by a few others, which is when the lovely lady in the house gave us a time update, then Micky turned up and told us that everyone else was running late and they would be there about 8, everyone else turned up and we had a little meet and greet to get aquainted and then left for the show.
Got to the show and joined the queue of cars waiting to get in, got into the show and scotty parked everyone up very nicely and then started to assemble the gazebo, Alan's bully became the topic of conversation with bex showing her age by being the only person that knew what B.F.H means, I then took a few pictures of the stand.

Down the right side.

Top Left Corner.

Rob, Simon (me), and Morris's Cars.

The Bin!!!!.

Rob's Car.

Bex's Lovely Car, and car seat.




View over the show.

And now for the show.




























I'm sorry if i have gone on a bit but i had such a good time and i cant wait for trax which i hope will be just as good and atleast I will know everyone there!!! Thanks for the great day Simon

Simon, great lil write up there. I really do find it interesting when people write up what they have done as everyone has their own lil adventure and get up to some pretty interesting and fully things. Reading everyones account of the day is great.

I was trying to view your photos but unfortunately I didn't have my microscope to hand

- - -

This is what you could win today... onnnnnnnnnnn number 1 is a Wash Dryer (always a bloody wash dryer)... onnnnnnnnnn number 2 is a Digital Alarm Clock... onnnnnnnnnn number 3 is a holiday to Butlins... onnnnnnnnnn number 4 is a set of gold tip darts... we all know they were always crap lol.

Loved the way so many people got the bus fair home instead of the gamble price which was a small car or boat... why a boat lol.

I'm sure it was at least a consolation that it would have pretty useless if they lived in the middle of the country or something.

Loving the clear rear light clusters on the Blue fez with pumabuild decal, looks ace. Can you get them for facelift models? Sounds like you had an awsome time mate, moving back to the UK in January and looking forward to my first meet already.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put them in a facelift. Some people have put facelift rear lights in a pre-facelift no problem, so that shows that the rear lights are the same size on both versions.

i thought that there was something different between the pre facelift and facelift rear lights? pre facelift has single fog light and facelift has two?

Yes... a bit of wiring work would have to be done to enable this to be a legal change.

You can go to Ford Fair or Trax

I've not looked into the RSOC Day yet... I think that falls on a bad date for myself though... will check it.

The RSOC Day falls on Sunday the 17th of August. With it being just a week after the summer event, then I don't think I could make this one.

Hope you all have a good time then.

Obviously I won't be able to sort out the tickets with not coming to this one but I'll do try and do my best to help out if I'm able to.
