Well what a weekend!! This was mine and Melissa's first Ford Fair we have been to and definatly not the last. Had a fantastic time. We went with Dave and Fran off here.
Sat afternoon was our departure time to meet up with the rest of those going down. Anyway a bit late me and melissa set off. Got to Milton Keynes travel lodge in a grand time of 1 hour 45  So stayed in a travel lodge then 6am start on Sun.
The quality of the cars that we saw was second to none. Fantastic examples of all cars. Trade stands where top notch. In some respects i would say far better than PV . So here are my pictures, would just lke to thank Dave for lending me his camera as mine ran out of charge.
Enjoy.

JR - as we where walking round they announced that they had over 16000 last year and by the amount of people and cars we saw it must of been bigger this year and we still missed a few areas.
Jill - Thanks. Where abouts where you parked in all of them?
Steve - Like i said there where some imense cars there. I could of took loads more picys. The cars with the mirrors i actually appreciate. If your prepared to put that much effort in then why not 
Adam - Just after i tookl that picture we got shouted at for mine and Daves engines running, so as we left we tooted the horn

No joke, I was literally in the middle! It was like a great big family reunion with all of Uncle Focus' cousins! Dunc, the guy who organised the stand, said there was about 65 FRS on our stand (excluding the local RSOC groups showing on the other area)

From the grandstand that was on the right hand side of your stand it looked quality. Would of looked better if parked slanted. Thats just my though tho.

Yep totally agree fella! We were all a bit squished in also tucked away in that corner. I know a few of us were annoyed about where we were placed- as all the rest of the RSOC lot were on the hard standing area and we were over the other side, didn't really make sence to me! Even the "Ford Galaxy Owner Club" (yes I kid you not they have an owner club and there were 10 of them there! ) were on the hard standing area!

Yeah it's great isn't it. I was chatting to the FRS owner who had his car in the concourse competition (with the retrimmed white+blue interior) and his car is a daily driver and in absolute MINT condition- it's done more miles than my FRS. It's great to see cars like that that are used regularly and yet kep in such fantastic condition- better than all these trailer queens/garaged and only just brought out for shows etc! Although I do have to admit I did love that red fiesta (with all the mirrors) it was

Ford Galaxy owners club I never even saw that. You where sort of behind the trade stands wheren't you? Like you say it would of been more sense to put you in a bigger area where you can at least if you are going to park striaght then it looks a bit better, rather than shoved in a corner. I suppose its one of them things really as it happened with CS at PV.

The attention to detail is something else, The rs1600 still has the original tyres on, look at the tread pattern The red fieata and red escort where just A couple of the cars on the concourse stand i didn't understand why they where there tho.
I think PV should have something like this tho.
How can i word this right, The cars on the concourse stand that where trailered i think where good enough to be trailered where as you go to some shows and some of the shit that you see rolling off trailers is hidious and i don't mean track cars.
On the way home we saw a bright orange escort with the worst kit i have ever seen with orange wheels and black mights and what not. I appreciate the work but its not good (special) enough to be trailered. I hope thats worded right.
