C'monnnnnnnn owners!! Get yor names down for this . This meet is when you can REALLY say that your mods were worth the money. We did the 0-60 at Silverstone last year and my best was 8.23 secs. That was with Powerflow flexi, Sports Cat, Cat-back, iridium plugs, magnacor leads and induction kit. Craig got 7 point something with just a back box and K&N. Mine was RR at 167bhp, unfortunately Craig didn't get the chance RR his before he had to get rid of her, but it was quicker than mine. This opportunity does not come around very often, so, don't be shy!!

Also!!!!!!
Just got off the phone with Jamie King @ Fastford magazine - they would definately be interested in featuring our R/R day - that confirmation came from Dan the editor
They are keen to feature young/smaller clubs and would make the trip to the midlands to feature us.
They said they would feature 12 cars, no more/no less and we would have to choose the 12 for the feature. They want the 12 to be all Fiesta STs and would need a brief description on each car before they give us a definate yes or no for the feature. The description would need a basic list of mods and an owners expected power output for the car.
They do have enough features for about the next 6 months - so if they come to feature us - we would obviousley be in the mag about 5/6 months later.
Come on guys
Without sounding too petty here:
1. We're not a small club... we're the largest Fiesta ST club on the net... reason for less members than STOC is because i don't make sign up compulsary
2. I'm not interested in the slightest about Fast Ford or what they have to say... if they don't want to come along then they can quite happily stay at home. I'm not being held to ransom.
3. This is not just an club, its a members club for If you want to organize for just s your looking at the wrong site. This would discount Me, Mick and Craig and other people on the site who don't have s in one swoop...
4. Micky, why would you pay £20 to RR someone else's car, wouldn't you want to do your own? I believe what i posted in comments 2 and 3 relate to this. I'd be interested in variety and seeing what your car's figures are, i already know what a standard is.
5. That late in Nov will spoil the X-mas Event as that will only be 3 weeks later. This needs to be early Nov, if the garage can't do it, find another.
Sorry for my rant but this really clashes with all what the site stands for and i'll never steer in that direction... everyone is welcome no matter who they are, now many limbs they have and what ever car they have. As far as i'm concerned we are not new, we've been here 5 years and even before STOC and both sites run differently, this is how we manage to work together well now. Magazines are nice but they can take a running jump if they want to tell us what we "can" and "cannot" do. I thought "Fast Ford" was supposed to be about Ford's, not just Fiesta s? Either way I am looking forwards to this just as everyone else in this post including Craig with his RX8... lets not spoil it before it's even got off the ground.
I look forwards to hearing your responses on this and helping get things sorted.

I don't really understand why you are lost for words? Why organize something that not everyone can get to... half that list if me, Micky and Craig who all don't have s, there has to be a certain number of people attend for the garage to do it obviously, and i don't think you'd get the numbers without us... also you would end up losing people who might come with other cars or even other fords. This is a great idea, im all for it... but i'm not for changing what this site is all about... thats a no no in my view.

Andy didn't specifically arrange the meet for just ST owners though. It was for anyone who wanted to come along. It's only Fast Ford who would need 12 ST's, so there's nothing stopping everyone without ST's coming along.
I do agree with Scotty on Fast Ford calling us small/young though. We're not either of those lol.

Just to add that I tend to agree with some of the points raised above. One of the thing's that's always differentiated this site is that we don't care who turns up to the meets, it's just a way for any member to come along and have a good time, and will always be that way. That's not to say that it wouldn't be nice to have the publicity of Fast Ford, but it's not the be all and end all. If they want to come great, if not tough. Also, I tend to agree that having it a couple of weeks before the xmas meet would make some people chose one or the other, early November as originally suggested would be better for this reason. Out of the rest of that month, the 15th and 22nd I probably wouldn't be able to make myself anyways. Don't get disheartened by the comments Andy, you have done a great job so far, just a few things needed to be pointed out that's all. Thanks Chris
