FITP Conclusion

Postby dontpannic on Sun May 16, 2010 7:55 pm

Hi Gang.

Thank you all for a fantastic day out. It was good to meet some new faces and catch up with old friends etc. Had pretty good weather for it and was a laugh all round. Hope I didn't embarass any FT members with the dixie horns as I left :P :lol: M1K3Y_B certainly didn't enjoy it :lol:

Thanks to Vix for organising the tickets too - happy birthday btw!

Bring on Ford Fair!!

Summer said you were ill, hope you feel better!


Glad everyone was happy with the stand, this year we were not hungover for a change so a bit more on the ball, think the first come first served system worked well and we managed to get the front of stand looking really good with a good selection of cool cars and well know FT cars too. Sorry about the blue shed, but figured that was the best car to tie the flag too :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lets try and have it bigger next yeah eh? 23 cars is a all time fitp FT low....

would be great, and I would be very happy to see it. Traditionally though, FF is smaller for FT than Fitp. A challenge then!

We do try our best to have a good stand that people are happy on, glad that so far everyone seemed happy with it this year.

Really it doesn't matter how big it is as long as everyone who does come enjoys it, but more should come and join in the fun!

The stand layout this year was great, the mk2 focus rs with mk1's either side was a nice idea

was pure fluke I think lol, we have had grief for them being at front in past years, so set them up in front of gazebo and just lined everything else up at the angle in first come first served order. Seemed to work well, and stand looked great.

Its nice to have a good responce, beats busting your balls and having people cry, like in years gone past. :lol:

You should see the ZSOC, theres been complaints over there similar to what happened a couple of years ago. Proof that first come first served is the best way forward. Then its only the fault of the driver if they aren't at the front of the stand :)
