GingerFlame Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Get it protected with some decent paint sealant & wax . then a quick blast with QD and you'll be good ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Yeah at least having a fresh coat of polish makes it easier to clean on the day, as I found earlier today squashed insects basically fall off the paintwork after they're sprayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Just to warn you guys the M1 is down to two lanes south of Sheffield. You should be ok early doors but it was bad delays when we came through Let's hope that the early morning traffic is light enough that it won't slow us down too much. I have just arrived in Leicester at the j21 forest East services Good, we'll see you in the morning around 6:30. At least you don't have to get up quite as early as the rest of us :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I might head down the A1 and M18 to Woodall, looks a bit quicker for me and might avoid some M1 roadworks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for joining me on the convoy guys :) It was good to meet you all and to see you again Nath. Maybe we'll do this again, but I might be tempted to stay nearby next time just to avoid the traffic nightmare. Nath did you get any good pics of the convoy and Ford Fair in general? I didn't really take any photos this time, but I might put together some dash cam footage especially when I was nearly wiped out by that Nissan Juke lol.

Stoney871 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I can recommend the Travelodge at Towcester. Handy McD's, Little Chef, Garage with M&S shop and car/jet wash. Rooms are cracking and staff are good. There were 9 or 10 clear parking spaces last night so I'd say a few spare rooms so if the show is at Silverstone next year it's well worth booking there and being only 3 miles up the road saves getting caught in traffic. I left for the show at 06.45 and was parked up by 07.20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I was just thinking maybe we could do a Yorkshire FOC meet some time, or see if there are any more local events to go to before next Ford Fair :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
