10:30pm the night before - Yes... many people did think I was some sort of maniac!
5:30am arrived. Alarm went off... dived out of bed to stop it and keep Maiya asleep. Luckily I managed it. Got dressed, grabbed everything needed and Sarah prepared Maiya's bottles.
I then grabbed Maiya and put her straight in her car seat and in the car. Hoping not to disturb her too much. By the time she got to the car she was wide awake.
I met Chris at the Wheatsheaf at 6:00 and then drove down to Coleshill and arrived around 6:15 bang on time.
We then left for Cherwell Valley.
We arrived at Cherwell at 7:30 which was bang on time once again (getting good at this).
Nicky always appreciates pictures
Another of the FFST Crowd including Lozzy and Stew peering in the background
The usual ritual of distributing tickets.
Jack collecting his prize
Stevie offering security support and overseeing it's done correctly.
Sorry Duncan but I thought this was interesting. Your hair fits in with the tree line
After letting people know we would be taking the back roads in and there would be a slight delay. Most just drove out the services. This was impossible to stop. A few of us remained whilst waiting for Charlie. After reviewing the map, it was obvious we could get in quicker.
After taking the back roads we managed to get in to the track and were first there. Even after waiting 10 mins at the services longer.
It did give me chance to look at the stand and organise to get it set up.
Whilst waiting, a few decided to give there brand new 's a clean
After 30mins, Stevie turns up. He let us know he avoided most of the queue by overtaking it. Excellent (Fantastic looking car!)
Not missing out on the action. Maiya decided she wanted to have a drive. She wasn't convinced by the seat support though. She advised the bucket seats would be much better. We will see!
A couple of pics from the show (not many).
KA Sport with a Cosworth Engine. This had been on track and was smoking underneath
A sneek peak of the MTOC stand with Lee and Stephs car. I'm sure they would have looked much better on our stand
Vicky, fully prepared. I did enjoy the bacon sarnie.
After the excitement of the morning. Maiya decided to have a nap
Here are the odd bods of the stand firstly:
As i said at the meal... people were walking past laughing at the merc, then a sudden change of mind and saying "I like that, it's smart".
Specially for you Jodie
Now for pics of the best looking stand of the day
Kenny
Kev
Now for some track pics
DanTheMan steaming around the corner
Pikes Peak RS200
This guy in the Porsche was my driver of the day. He pushed that 911 right to the edge
We decided to leave the show early to avoid the most of the traffic. We managed to get away just before the flood
Overall. The day was fantastic. Excellent crowd and was nice to meet the new guys too
Chris had a look and the first post was in December 2012 about Ford Fair. It just goes to show how long people look forwards to this show.

dontpannic: Horrible news about Stevie, had a bad feeling about it when I saw his hospital selfie on FB
dontpannic: While I'm here (it's been a while), looks like my account is FUBAR... can't post anywhere, can't view user profiles etc, any chance someone can restore my access at all?
Tford: Anyone know how to sort out front bumper sag on Mk7 st
kenny: There is a few YouTube vids which should show you how to lift the bumper back up
Brabbit79: Done my 1st track day today in my 2006 St150, ii was topping oil up 500ml ever 10 laps give and take. No leaks or blue smoke. Anyone else had this.
_Jimmy_: @Brabbit79 it's probably oil passing the piston rings at high revs, used to happen with mine too but normal driving it wouldn't use much oil at all
kenny: seems there is a data base error on the forum
Scotty: @Kenny - Can you see the topic threads again now please?
's a clean 
(Fantastic looking car!)
bucket seats would be much better. We will see!
