FORD FAIR – SILVERSTONE – 6TH AUGUST 2017

I think the hold up was an accident. The other side was queues to buggery as well but it at least was moving the whole time.

Hi guys, 

Really enjoyed the day, except the queuing :|

Sorry I didn't speak to anyone, got too distracted, and the day seemed to go quickly. 

Thanks to whoever left the foc stickers, it was a really nice gesture, just need to decide where to put them :) 

Hope everyone else enjoyed it!

Is there a link to the stickers on the forum??

What a great day out!

Where were all the queues? I came A34 Newbury - Oxford, then M40 and A43. Arrived around 1140 with no problems at all

It was much earlier... this was about 08:30

Great to meet all of you at the Ford Fair, and well worth the wait to get in, although not so sure if it had been raining all day!

Never seen queue as bad as that before...almost on par with Le Mans on race day and they have queues that any Russian would be envious of.

I totally believe the reason is that they opened the show an hour later as last year you could slip in early and set up before the majority rocked up at 7.00 and then stagger the queue throughout the morning...worked okay, don't know why they changed it?

anyway, great day and great to chat to some FOC members....see you next year!

 

I'll be getting there for gates open next year if I go. Either stay/camp locally or leave earlier.

Hard getting up at 4am though :(

I've never seen it that bad before. Definitely doesn't seem to be as smooth running since Kelsey took over.

Toilet queues were atrocious. Why didnt they bring more porta loo's?
Dont even mention standstill traffic on A43 & Dandford road.

i know, went to a loo stop that was on the map in the show guide and was then told its not here so was told to go to the cafe place near the gift shop

Probably easier to find a bush next time.

I was about to pull in to parking lane on Dandford road A43 but was concerned getting pulled over by law.lol

I had a good day out yesterday, it was good to meet a couple of you guys. I found out after the fact that the dealership the Mustang came from is one where one of my mates works at, small world. I quite liked the diversity we had unlike the sea of blue that was behind us :tongue: Left earlier than I probably would have liked because I got quite tired, however we did see the red arrows fly by on the way home!

What, this lot? :smile:   Stray white one in there...
