Thought i'd stick it in here as it will end up here anyway.... Started off my weekend in a rather different fashion compared to every other show i go to, it was 3.30pm saturday afternoon until i had broken out any buckets to wash the car. I had done a pre-show treatment only a week before so all it needed was a wash and thats it, so rather than spend my morning doing mine i helped other people! Popped round a friend of mine's to drop some wax off, whilst there another friend turned up in his RS. I wish i had washed mine at that point because on this rare occasion i was the one with a dirty car  Also may aswell point out at this point i have duncans old wheels, finally  IMG_7073 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7074 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7075 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Then started on mine, quick wash and a zip over with detailing spray and that was that! IMG_7079 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7081 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Met up with peel28 sunday morning, bright and early at 6.20am hes out there washing his wheels, dedicated  IMG_7087 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Drive to the services, no photos taken i was more interested in getting a decent cup of tea! Waiting in traffic, needs to be done every ford fair! ( Also the mk3 zs infront of me was very nice, on coil overs was nicely executed! ) IMG_7089 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7090 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Get to silverstone, sams infront of me and we're all pretty well together but another 45min waiting to get from 4 lanes into a single file, what retard decided that was a good idea is beyond me! IMG_7092 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Parked up, very nice! Luke decides to dedicate the whole of the back row to the merc  IMG_7093 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7094 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7095 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Went walking over to RS register, i do like some RS's in a line IMG_7101 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7103 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7105 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Walked about a bit more, down the pit areas. IMG_7108 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7110 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7112 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Fast ford stand! IMG_7114 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7115 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr RS Direct RS500, as per usual it was mint! IMG_7116 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7118 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7119 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Influx of stretched tyres inbound IMG_7121 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7122 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7127 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr ACR Composties ST "RS" IMG_7128 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Viper engine in your Sierra, sir. IMG_7130 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Brake shots now IMG_7136 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7137 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7138 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Tidy ST, wheel colour was different and i liked it! IMG_7139 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr One for ROB IMG_7140 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7142 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr One car that was parked near our stand, really caught my attention. The gold wheels i though suited it so well, very doubtful i could get it to look just as good on mine! IMG_7143 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr IMG_7144 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Gold leaf Lotus Cortina, massive want. IMG_7146 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr 5 PB ST's in a row, can't argue with that  IMG_7154 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr Peel's in for the added edge! IMG_7155 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr So yeah all in all a very good day. Thanks to everyone who came and who i spoke to, i do appretiate these events more now for the social side than for the car to look good. I know there was a few guys on the stand i didnt get to speak to, will try next time! Massive thanks also goes out to the near 4.5 hours of traffic that was sat in that day, getting into fordfair and on the way to mk cruise at night, it wouldnt be an event without it!  Cheers

Should've turned right and gone through Towcester, then onto the A5, and down to MK that way. We've gone that way home for the last few years after FF now, as you end up missing so much of the post-event traffic.
We had already been into northampton and eaten at this point, M1 was the easiest route for a lot of us to take to MK but there was an overturned lorry between j14-13 in the day and we were caught in the backlog of all the traffic

Brilliant write up Jack. Great photos. I struggled to get pics of most things. It's nice to see you managed to get some fantastic pics. I dislike any car on stretched tyres. That  is wrecked! I do like the Mk2  on gold wheels! You need to get yourself a Mk1  Jack... can sort a line of them with mine, Chris and Adams then  I love the social side of the events. I'll turn up in anything just as long as I'm there

Hi guys, First of all i would like to say thanks to whoever ( i believe it's Steph?) reserved extra places at the Hungry horse! Thanks a lot. Second i appolagize for being late, we had to pick up our ford fair tickets at a campsite which took a bit longer then expected. So sorry for that. Some proper introduction where in order, but since we where late and you guys where already eating... We didn't want to bother you while eating. Anyway first time for me in the UK....and driving on the 'wrong' side of the road :P Also some accents where pretty difficult for me to u derstand *couch* newcastle *couch*. Always 'us' instead of 'i' but i only saw her. Until my mate pointed out it was her accent. Also out 'shortcut' through London was a nightmare we all got seperated and lost. But Ford Fair was amazing! Never experienced anything like it. I mean the company stands combined where larges than most Dutch events and in 12 hours time we only saw half of the cars that where there. It was amazing!  Next year we will attent ford fair again! Again thanks for diner reservation, wish i could've introduced myself properly and spoken to more people. Hope we weren't to annoying!
