went to the battlesbridge ford day near rettendon (no range rover jokes) in essex on sunday. unstable weather, the worst driving from fellow capri club members I've ever seen, and getting beaten off the lights by bruisercapri (I need to fit a decent fuel pump, it just can't get enough juice) these were the lowpoints. heres the highlights, in drips 'n' drabs as usual sexy x-flow, check the headers the guy with his back to the camera was the owner, you should have heard him. "took off the front suspension, threw it in the bin. took out the engine, threw it in the bin. took out the interior, straight in the bin I tell you". what a c*ck. nice tina tho got steels, got dish? one for reanimation, unrusty E plate fezza tuff indeed

2.6 raymond mays, ex monte carlo zephyr engine. nyom, nyom! nice 5 window george's 210bhp pinto packing beast. he finished fitting his exhaust at 5am that morning. what an exhaust, works three piece manifold and and 2.5 straight through, under axle system. he needs to retune it now, as the power has been sucked away like a toothpick in a twister. mk1 lineup sweet spanglia

if I did a mk1 escort, this is what it would look like. my fave escort at the moment x-pack, x-citing bad 34 sneaky shot of one of my fave engines, 351 cleveland. its in a zebra 3, carkeys and clutch replica, that they wanted to charge £5 for the priviledge of photographing. they can go swallow raw sewage

it appeared that there were 3 people constantly rearanging 6 deck chairs around the vehicle, so you couldn't get a clear shot. really gripes my ass, I can't pay people to take a pic of my capri..

Huh Anyway, this would explain the few Fords we saw going the other way on the M25 in the afternoon, including a "typical" Mk1 Lotus Cortina. Nice pics. Love that Mk1 Zeph wagon. Restorers must be horrified by the wheels! Needs a 302!

ha ha, those rims on the Mk2 estate are a disgrace.
As for the 'photo prevention' deck chairs, i'd just rattle off about 50 pics of the car with the deck chairs in view anyway, to cheese them off, then delete the lot later on. Was anyone paying the £5? and if someone did, did a load of other folk appear from nowhere to join in the snapping?
What a ridiculous concept.

Looks like a good show! Agreed, those rims on the Mk2 Scort are gash-ola. Otherwise, I likes it. And £5 to take a photo?! Show him your ticket, nut him on the hooter and snap away - who pays twice to see cars at a show?! What a cockjockey Great pics B&D
