Well Saturday rolled around and after a brief scare with a flurry of snow Friday night, I made the journey from Shoreham to the Ace Cafe in NW London. There we managed 55 other STs which included several from as far as Wales and Scotland!
The new features editor from Performance Ford turned up with their photographer and set about snapping the members cars. Not sure when it'll be featured but I'm sure it'll be a good 'un
It was COLLLLLD and several of the cars resembled rally cars (one hadnt been cleaned since December!!!) but thanks to one of our Scottish members remembering to bring a bucket, my car was nice n shiny n clean
Pom poms.. dont ask
The car that hasnt been cleaned since December & what we did to it.. lol
The new look Focus RS under its test mule name of "Big Bore" (thats what the badge on the right of the tailgate says anyways...)

It was a really good day oh and the Ace Cafe breakfasts.. ohhhh did my diet no good at all!!
My friend Sam's ST500 started the morning like thiiiiis...
And ended up like this! I then watched her ask the PF photographer if he'd taken a pic of it clean & walked him back over to it to take a pic. Atta girl
I bought myself a wee Ace Cafe sticker but I'm not too happy about the position so have bought another one & might get someone to play about in Photoshop for me!

Quote: huh? I'm not sure I understand, is it some kinda auto bonnet raising thing? I've also noticed it in the pic of the white team (11th pic).
They are bonnet raisers.
Indeed... make it look like that... not sure why you would want to... but thats fine.
There was a really good turn out there. I hope that the Fast Ford pics turn one good for you guys... looks like a collddddd day though... fair play for people washing and polishing!!!

Performance Ford magazine.. & I'm not sure if they got any drive bys. Shady did a few in his supercharged ST (the silver one with the ST500 bonnet decals)
Yeh they've got bonnet raiserzzzz.. its apparently to help with track day engine temp so quite why they have them on now is anyones guess
Steve... Mr Kenny Ashton did a lot of that on Lou's rear bumper!!!! LOL The rest was a joint effort
