Hi all

Just got back from a very good day. Thought the stand looked good, plenty of people around and a good turnout. Shame about the changeable weather but that can't be helped.

Big congrats to Ryan for having the balls to have his curly locks removed for EA Air Ambulance, I have a feeling a lot of money was raised!

Good to catch up with everyone and good to meet the new faces.

Roll on Ford Fair!
I'll upload my pics as soon as I get on the computer.
Cheers
Nick

Was good to see you chaps at Birchanger Green on the way back. Sorry I didn't hang around - was very tired and achy and wanted to get the 60 miles home with that Zetec-S shouting at my ears over and done with ASAP!

Oh, and I believe £157 was raised by Klaus's head-shaving - good effort.

[dontpannic]

No worries Al, I think we were all feeling like that to be fair! I did see you a few times during the day but didn't have the opportunity to say hi!

Here's my pics from today. Not many, and an incomplete set of the stand, so sorry if I missed out your cars!














































Saved the best till last. Probably the greatest sticker of the show.

[Ratspeed]

It was a good day.Loads of good(and a few not so good) cars on display too!
I had a walk over to you guys but didnt really speak to many people as i didnt want to jump into the midlle of any conversations!

Plus i had 220 miles of trouble free plantpot driving. It was the furthest it had been to a show so i wasnt sure how it would behave

[Tanya]

Was a great show, some cracking cars there. And a few dog rough ones as ever

Thanks to Wayne & all others for organising it, had a really good day.

Just sorting pics now, got a little bit carried away - took soooo many!

Tan

[Tweek]

Majorly tired!

Thanks to those who turned up and the co-operation from everyone. Special thanks to Paul for bringing the correct gazebo instructions And thanks to everyone who helped put it up, help keep the stand organised and tidy etc. Will invest in some new pegs to hold the gazebo down for sure!

Personally thought I could've done better with organising that back-left corner a bit but otherwise it looked pretty good

Hopefully see everyone for Ford Fair & Trax etc.

Was a good day, nice job Wayne

Shame the XR didn't make it, I'll get it sorted soon. Made some decisions today about what to do with it too

nah i had to shout at you to get a conversation going llama



great pics mate, few have been cut up though

[andymac]

Nick,

Was a good stand, nothing to worry about at all - much better than most of the stands there. Most of the clubs managed a pretty crap showing tbh.

Re left rear, were you talking about where the gazebo broke free or where Ollie and I had parked ? Maybe a suggestion for more people to remain on-stand to organise the cars as they arrive and ensure they fit the stand plan as well as meet and greet later on? It was apparent that few people hung around the ft gazebo and there were a fair few more around the pf stand to the point that fcgb officials came round the pf stand for a chat as the ft gazebo was devoid of members.

I know comments have been passed in the past about new members not being welcome at shows but having no-one there surely looks worse than a large crowd people may feel intimidated by?

In any event, good job and I definitely enjoyed the day (despite the weather!)

I thought the stand looked great and you did a sterling job mate. Lucky Paul had those instructions and we managed to borrow a mallet, although the ground was rock hard anyway! I reckon those screw in pegs I mentioned are the way to go tbh!

It does get a little tricky to organise the later arriving cars tbh, there is always a messy corner on the stands

Ratspeed - I did see you and the car on the Fordsport stand, had a look around it first thing, lovely looking car, I want one! I didn't stop for a chat as you were talking to someone and I didn't want to interupt lol

you were the guy in the white and blue adidas hoodie weren't you? nice to meet you mate, and thanks for the lift to my car at the end of the day!

[Ollie]

Was a good show and the stand looked fine tbh. The only real problem I reckon was that it was so cold and windy people either wanted to keep moving or find any kind of shelter they could. Hence not many hanging around in the gazebo.

Saw you guys try to put the sides on at one point then give up and take them down again, we've done that a few times in the past, lol. I reckon those dome shaped ones like Fordsport have are much better in windy weather, although there're also smaller and more expensive.

All in a great day though and good to see new cars appearing on the stand that we haven't seen before!

the gazebo was a proper fail, fair play to Burman for risking his car being tied to it!

those dome ones are cool, I'll look into prices and see what we can do...

[dontpannic]

The stand position was simply too windy for the gazebo to be honest! Further down the field the wind level was almost none. Kent Modified had the same with te BHP show at Lydden Hill the other week (the gazebo broke due to the wind!).

[Curtis]

Was a shame I missed you when I strolled over to your stand, some quality cars and people I wanted to meet, hope these photo's make up for it:


On the way out towards the motorway


Starting the long cruise


Mid-way check making sure the new engine is holding out


A fiesta we followed into the show, caught up with them about 15 miles away

and now for the show!




















































































































The Twins!







The drive home


Quality show, anyone who didn't attend, you seriously missed out, half of these cars, pictures just don't do it justice.

So, Ford Fair?

[andymac]

Oh my word; this thread killed my browser !!

Only a couple from me, I've put them in a flickr set so peeps can pick-n-choose and most were of Ryan being shorn



Complete set here.

[Pumatt]

I just wish my car was working to drive up this year Ended up in my mates car. Was a good show Did miles of walking,
Would have stayed longer, but I came straight from working the night before did a 4 hour drive then 5-6 hours at the show then another 4 hours driving home

[jonyb4]

great pics mate, my missus was dieing to sign your car but we had no change at the time!

will pm you for a donation!

btw great photography! alot of them cars i missed!

andy love the pic of you guys behind my car, you look like a massive family of friends

Yeah, was looking dicey at one bit when the wind really picked up. There's a photo of me huddled up in my coat somewhere - was frozen. Took most of a can of gas just to make a cup of tea, wind kept cooling the kettle down.

Re the large stand pic; if anyone wants large prints (for framing) I'm happy to arrange for them using Jessops print services - the prints will be 75x50cm and £25 each including 1st class recorded delivery. Of this, just under £10 will go to jessops for the prints, about £3 on postage, around £3 on the packaging leaving a balance of about £10 which will go to the East Anglian Air Ambulance and be added to the total raised thus far through donations and Ryans haircut !

[rst-steve]

Some great pics here!

Was a really good show and my first with fiestaturbo, so was nice to put some faces to the names as they say!

Agree with you there. The corner behind the PF stand was to have the line of cars circle around and join up to the gazebo but the "left line" went too far back in the end. It's a note I've made for next time to shout at people to get the cars displayed better I was thrown off a bit by learning how to build the gazebo too but we've sorted that out now hopefully!

On the subject of the gazebo, in the end it really was a bit too breezy and the ground too hard to have it up. Most retreated to areas further forward on the stand which seemed to be sheltered more. The only reason I wanted to keep it up was because it would have left a big hole at the back of the stand then.

Already looking forward to the next shows where I aim to improve on those points

[jonyb4]

hats off though, wayne and chris you done a great job at organising this layout and the show, and thanks to everyone else who helped

even i bit the bullet and helped even though i was expecting some bloodshed

(thanks to whoever pranked me abotu my stuff for sale too, lightened my afternoon lol )

Nice meeting you Sam, it's always good to see new members getting involved. Nice rs you have too, lovely colour

The gazebo was a bit of a mare with the ridiculous wind. Putting the sides up didn't go well either, so most of us resorted to sitting in a more sheltered place behind the cars. Everyone seemed to have a good time, dispute the changing weather. Good show

[~nomad~]

Trick is to have one or 2 people organising the cars whilst others do the gayzebra imho.

The stand looked great though, look at Andymacs pic for proof

[~nomad~]

(thanks to whoever pranked me abotu my stuff for sale too, lightened my afternoon lol )

You expected bloodshed? Noone said they were gonna hurt you did they? I spend the whole day with Shaun as my bodyguard, was pretty worried

I was not present for the pranking, but I heard about it, was bound to happen really dude! On the subject of your stuff for sale, the cd6000 seemed very cheap, is it the double din unit i am thinking of? As fitted to the Focus'?

If you still need the code for it, let me know the serial number and will get it for you.

[Mustoe91]

Some really good pictures popping up

Looking forward to next show

hehe, im not fudgekin with shaun, you looked a wimp

nah im joking, your a punch above my weight id say


yea the cd6000 it come from a mk5 fiesta ghia, they go for between £60 and £80, it was given to me by a customer when i was in halfords

i do need the thing unlocked, it had the wrong code 10 times hence why she just gave me it

[~nomad~]

ah, does that mean it now wont accept a code? Not sure whats to be done then I thought it was cheap!

[andymac]

There's supposed to be a reset code that works regardless of status - that could be internet BS though.

PM the serial no. on and one of us will generate an unlock code.

[jonyb4]

it will turn on, and say locked, or a variant

ive heard you can use a master reset, how theyre associated i dont know

but it doesnt let you type something in and know that its been entered


ill dig out the serial and pm it to yourself and dave

[Chris 2i]

found this on another forum:

TO ENTER THE SECURITY KEYCODE FOR A FORD
Switch the ignition ON using the key

Switch Radio ON - Display Shows CODE with " - - - - " flashing

Press Preset Button " 1 " repeatedly for 1st Digit of your KeyCode
Press Preset Button " 2 " repeatedly for 2nd Digit of your KeyCode
Press Preset Button " 3 " repeatedly for 3rd Digit of your Keycode
Press Preset Button " 4 " repeatedly for 4th Digit of your Keycode
If the display now shows the correct KeyCode number then
Press Preset Button " 5 " to Enter

WRONG ENTRY

If a wrong entry is made , then the display reverts to CODE allowing another attempt.

After a third incorrect attempt, a 30 minute delay ensues before a fourth try may be attempted.

The display shows WAIT 30:00 with the time counting down to 00:00
Once at 00:00 , CODE is displayed again and the unit is ready for another KeyCode attempt.

If further wrong codes are entered then this waiting procedure must then be followed between each single successive attempt up to a total of TEN

If even more wrong codes are entered then LOCK 13 .will appear on the display.If your radio displays LOCK 13 then the only option now is to take it in to the Ford Main Dealer or Decode Specialist so that they can electronically unlock it ~Unfortunately there is no D-I-Y method to unlock this LOCK 13 situation so be prepared to pay a small fortune !

TEN WRONG ENTRIES LOCK 10

After TEN incorrect Keycode entry attempts LOCK 10 (or LOCKED ) will appear to confirm that the unit is now locked out.

According to Ford you must now take the unit into your local Ford Dealer to unlock it, however


LOCK10 or 13.
Lock 10 comes up when the wrong code has been entered 10 times, Lock 13 comes up when the wrong code has been entered 13 times.
It's an extra anti theft / security thing.
If lock 13 is on, the only way out is through a garage with electronic means of removing the Lock.
Lock 10 can be overcome by holding in 6 whilst switching the radio ON

Providing your KeyCode was correct then your radio / cassette or CD should now be working.

[jonyb4]

thanks for that chris, mine was entered wrong 10 times, and displays LOCKED
im trying to remember if the code was written on the casing, ill check in a bit if it is ill do that hold 6 idea and plug it into my escort (not that it fits in the dash)

otherwise heres the serial and the unit

[pauldolman]

good pics pal, you got mine in there
