Stovey - yep, too true :lol: Over the bank holiday, i've polished the Focus and washed it twice, so it had better be dry when i go to work in the morning :lol: Yeah, see you at FITP :)

Max - lol, that would be ideal :lol: But clean washing water is ok :lol:

StoveyXR :You must swear a lot when out driving Gaz :lol:


You can probably tell which FRST is Gaz's at a wet show or meet because while most other cars there will have music pumping from a huge sub or suchlike, the only sound coming from Gaz's car is 'F*cking f*cking b*stard weather, f*ck sh*t b*llocks etc etc etc'

By the way, apparently the best way to get rid of some of the collected water is to take it for a long drive up a motorway/fast A-road to blast away some of the water. And that'd get your mileage up, if that's what you want to be doing. :)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is also spot on :lol: Although you missed out Motherf***er n*b face weather, that's it, i'm going to make a bl**dy big tent for next time etc etc :lol: I can never keep my temper when it rains!!!

I do do exactly what you said every time on the Focus, and weather/ running conditions permitting for the FRST :D Blows most of the water out :) Good tip to put on the board for other users by the way :)

:lol: :lol: :lol: @ big tent, it'd be like at a fairground... 'Enter within to behold the wonders and mysteries of Gaz's Immaculate Fiesta RS Turbo of Wonders! Thrill at the shine! Be dazzled by the paintwork!' etc etc... with weird airbrushed pictures of the Fiesta surrounded by odd mystical creatures of yore...

sorry, I'm getting a bit carried away now :lol: :D

as regards the tip about taking the car for a long run after a wash, thanks, and I generally do it myself, but only as an excuse to give her a drive and have a bit of a pose :lol: :D

As for the pose - well there's nothing wrong with that ;) I can't say i mind a bit of attention when taking the FRST out after not driving it for months ;) :lol:

Gary - cheeky git! Afraid not mate, that's what the Focus is for, not a chance of converting me to use that FRST more ;)

Danny - quality tent - if i could get someone to drive up in a support car to the shows i'd get them to bring one :D :lol:
