Just wondering if anyone from here is going to Ford Fair at Silverstone this Sunday? I'm going, travelling down with people from STOC, been to a few Ford shows over the past few months, all have been pretty good, should be a good day to see some old and new cars.
Ford Fair Anyone Going?

Hopefully, or I'll be spending most of the time under the gazebo, lol.
Your car on a stand, or you just going up?
Dad's ST170 will be up on a stand, not sure which one however.

Your Dad is getting very worrying. Is this Focus he has some sort of garage queen? First he keeps another Focus as a 'daily drive' and now he puts this one on 'stands'.
In his head, is it an Aston Martin?
Surely he's a bit old for getting enthusiastic over small hatchbacks

No, it's so he doesn't have to walk from the car park into the show, he's lazy like that
It'll be buried at the back of a classic car stand, just a favour from a mate.But yes, I do worry about him a lot.

'Do me a favour mate, you couldnt put your Focus hatchback on my classic car stand? cheers'
No the favour is being able to stick the car at the back of the stand so he doesn't have to do the MASSIVE TEN MINUTE WALK OF DOOM from the car park.
Like I said he's bloody lazy. It makes me cringe honestly, there's nothing I can do. I've been taking the **** out of the fact he has a Focus daily and a Focus weekend car since March but he doesn't seem to care. Just going to have to let him get on with it.

Going to be a long day though, ~500 mile round-trip

I couldn't be chewed with that, that's why am stopping overnight on the Saturday night, and driving back up after the show.

Yeah, been a regular for years, 700 mile round trip for me!
Drive down Sat, beer/sleep, show sunday then the long drive home on Sun night, thats the killer, road is ok to Newcastle but from there up it's long stretches of single carriageway when you are at the tiredest. Then back to work Monday!!!
Trying to borrow a diesel from work.
Pre-ordered tickets arrived on Friday, Holiday Inn booked!

700 miles!
would have stayed over on the Saturday as well but didn't get organised in time
Not to worry, least I'm not driving so can relax. Was going to bring my Focus Edge but would really need to stay over as would be shattered.
