So who else is planing on checking out the show today?

Thanks for that, good weather for the ducks.

Does anybody know if it would still be worth heading into swapmeet or will the outside stalls all pack up and go home?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't think my car will be ready to enter by early next year but deffinately would be keen to go along and watch.

All going well the year after that I can enter

So hows the weather looking in there? Not to keen on getting soaked today

Sounds like a good plan.

Work permitting I'll try get there Saturday and now Sunday to meet up with you lot.

While on the subjest I remember going one year and in the "car show" kinda area of the swap meet the Falcon and Fairlane club had a display, just a few cars parked up with a sign.

I had a Falcon at the time so took noticed and stoped to talk to one of them but could be a good idea for oldschool one year?....not sure how you go about getting a spot though.

I think they are one of those cars that can pull off any colour well. Personally I've never seen a silver one though and I rekon that could look quite good.

Hey can I ask how much the new 2" exhaust cost on this car?

It sounded good when you started up in front of me on the cruise, but not annoyingly loud which is good too.

Last time I was there, there was a sierra wagon inthe yard next door. Does anybody know if those are cars waiting to come in? If so fingers crossed for pinto and 5 speed

Correct its 2L 5 Speed. gearbox is gone already (when i went on saturday) but still had a 205 block 2L pinto with factory air conditioning

its only $140 for an engine so its a pretty cheap 205 block pinto for someone

Gutted I was really hoping for 5 speed I already have one 205 pinto in the garage but if its still there next time I go to town might add it to the collection

Sweet always keen for an excuse to drive

Do we register individually or as a club?

Sounds like fun

I love the entry form Car Club, Ford Holden or Other haha country much

Deffinately interested how far away is sefton?

Could be keen for a quickie on wed. Where u staying

Hmm you proably should of read that out aloud before posting

Childish I know

Haha the joys of been low

Cheers man I think thats the best bit about owning these types of cars and no doubt most OS owners can relate is you get alot of stories from everyone who has a experience with a certain type of car in their past

Must of missed that bump but my exhaust dragged over that speed bump into the domain so would hate to think what dragged with you low guys

Yeah just read bout next year that is sad, hopefully someone will step up and do something else. Would hate to think how much organising gos into something like that

What a sweet day , good lengthy run, I did 365k today (not just the cruise) and 3/4s of a tank haha

Apart from struggling to find the start, thanks for your help ther felixx and a little confusion in Oxford all went well.

Sorry I wasn't more social guys their was a need not to hang around from my passengers due too moto x that afternoon. No doubt I'll meet you all at some stage though.

Now I just gotta get my car as low as that sweet mk5 sport

I may have missed it but what date is the nats next year?

Hopefully I'll have my ex rally car pinto in the corty by then and can have a crack at the drag strip.

Lets hope the rain doesn't put too many people off, my car got rain on it for the first time today since I've owned it haha

9.15 sound good though will try and make it, leaving home at 7.30 geez some sunday haha

i have the same issue,mrs birthday drinks the night before,her birthday is actually the 16th though

O snap my birthday is actually this sunday too

Also the BS&E tells me the cruise will have a staggerd depature from 9.15 - 10.00

I assume this is too stop the Ford traffic jam that usually happens

its usually 10am.and ill be in a satin black mk5 cortina with hotwires on the front,modgies on the back.and will talk to mates who are bringing their falcons(v8 xb,6 cyl xd),see if they're keen to head to BP first,otherwise we will meet yaz at the start

Should rock hotwires on one side modgies on the other really confuse people haha

For an out of towner is this the BP you speak of?

I could be keen to go there first although I got to try get my mates rounded up and woken up from the night before so will proably be running late

Depending on what forum your reading some are saying that it starts at 9.30

I'm going to buy a Buy Sell and Exchange tomorrow so I can check the time.

I should be there in a cream mk4 corty with whitewalls

For those that are interested I rang Avon City Ford today and they have a guy there that does valuations and it cost $45.

If you carn't find one to borrow, I think they about $125 from Palmside in Chch and if your running twin carbs may be a handy thing to own for the price of a tank of petrol

Hotwires look top notch What size tyre are they running?

I usually go to Auto Electric Cityin hornby
