[ugly]

sorry to turn into a poo smoke but after really looking foreward to this aint look like im goin to make it without a miracle, after goin to classic ford, have found a poorly diff tryin to sort it tonite but aint goin to well. looks like a long nite,get ready the reserves

[nunnsy]

Again, appologies as got car out this morning & had a couple of problems, so been running around to try get car sorted for tomorrow

[Bazman]

Did anyone turn up after 12:00 as I had to leave? There were only 4 cars that run up on the dyno at that point including my own, and the car park was looking very quiet!!!

[mk1gaz]

I've just got back indoors (been away since Friday morning) and only 4x cars showed up . Needles to say the rolling road place and Retroford mag ain't impressed .
The thing is they wanted a list of over 15x cars before agreeing to hold the day (which they got) , then they wanted deposits (which they got) . So as nothing else can guarantee the number of cars that turn up you're in the lap of the gods .
Real shame the turnout was so low but that's life . Lesson learned

Here's the message from the rolling road place :

Can I say a big thank you to those people who did turn up and a special thanks to Caprimk3nut for staying to the bitter end hoping to see lots of classic fords only to be severly dissappointed as we all were.
Big thanks to Retro Ford for covering the 'event'.
