Just over 3 weeks to go people
Have spoken to Billing again and they are all ready for us - they might even have Shelduck 2 (aka "The Somme") back in use 
Whatever we get we can expect the same kind of facilities as "we" (I've never been to Billing) usually get. Hope to see lots of people from here, from other sites and from mainland Europe. The Mk I & II Guild cancelled their show so we might get more of the early models (+ hearses I guess - nothing personal you old timers  - thought I'd get that in before the cheeky boys did  )
See you there!
Dave

Just to let people know - especially if they've been looking for information about this meeting today. Our hosting company has some technical problems at the moment and the site is down until they fix it   
Perfect timing. A week to go until Billing 
Quote:System Status
Due to a connectivity failure in one of our Data Centres, some customers are unable to access their websites. We currently have engineers on site and are working on this issue as a matter of urgency.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for bearing with us whilst we resolve this issue. Saturday, 1st September 2007 - 20h00. |

I really like "connectivity failure" - that just means "we don't know what we broke but tell them that and they'll think that we know what we're talking about".
Dave
Update: All sorted - the hosting company has found the socket that the cleaner used to plug the hoover in this morning. Or, whatever...

I'll post some edited highlights out of the 200+ photos I took today
What a superb weekend - and if that's the Shaun I think it is then you have one very tidy motor . Nice trophy too mate
I did get asked for two OBD scans (well, 3 actually but after marching about a mile to the "third" scorpio it turned out to be a Mk III ). What does "P000" mean then

I've picked a 100 of the pics I took yesterday...
Album Thingy be here
There are so many because I've left all the shots of the cars turning up for the prizes.
Here are some edited highlights...
A general view...
And another...
And another (WAKE UP AT THE BACK!  ):
Wumpster arrives, with a little help (he did arrive the day before but he put too much Red Bull in the boot when he nipped out to the shops and look what happened )
Baz, do you recognise this face?
A tropy shot:
See the picasa link for the rest of the pics and especially of people turning up for their prizes.
It was an absolutely cracking day - hope to see a big fordscorpio.co.uk turnout there next year.
There was also something rather special on display
Have you changed the diff on you cossie? Got a Hayabusa?
Dream on
That's a Ford RS200 (as some of you will know). 760BHP and 0-60 in 2.3 seconds
The factory version did it in 2.1 seconds
Those of you who know me will be pleased to hear that I didn't try to sit in it, or on it for that matter

Er, nothing
That's just a bloke fixing a car
Apologies if it causes you offence
Since you know a bit of Latin, I can just point out that it's clearly "Wumpsterus Anus Horribilis", or, er, whatever...
