My Ford Fair 2009 pics

There aren't many as some numbskull (me) left the memory card for the DSLR behind. 

Jo took some too - she'll be posting them up shortly I expect.  In the meantime, here's mine:

Awesome pics mate!!!

Don't suppose there are any of the A1 GP???

You know what?  I SO wish it was on video CCTV or something - I would've loved to have been watching it, which is hard when you're on the front row.  If the old bill had been watching and pulled us in I'd have asked for a copy of the vid!

I won't forget that in a hurry - a true RS Moment.

as said awesome pics, definately would have been worth the points to see a  replay of te formula 1 style start

Nice pics as always.

That white Orion, HWC, in the traffic, used to belong to a friend of mine, it is properly properly mint, full Carisma Automotive retrim and a nicely specced RST lump in it. Sorry, random info, but I do love that car, is rather nice!

Yeah gutted we missed the A1 bit, but ah well, respect all round as it sounded awesome  


BTW, we followed this turbo orion into Ford Fair (were behind it in the que to get in).... so couldn't have been that far behind really.............

EDIT: Jon, you mean he sold it!!?? i've always loved that car too  

[massivewangers]

Yes, Andy, the guy who did the work to the car and owned it a number of years has sold it, he sold it a while back now, I can't remember the name of the new owner, but I've met him a couple of times, lovely chap and it's just as well kept as always

Thats good to hear that its still being looked after. tbh, i'm glad i didn't see that up for sale........... would have been tempted! I've always wanted a Mk2 Orion 1.6i Ghia and thats gotta be the best one in the country i would think

[massivewangers]

It really is I think. Very well thought out, not a spot of rust, the interior is just gorgeous. It goes well too apparently.

I'm surprised it sold really, not too much call for those now, but it made pretty decent money!

Carisma Automotive retrim? bloody hell, ive seen what they do, that must have been £££

Great pics tho chris, looked excellent, wish id been there.

Yeah, that Jamie Shaw fella, who does Pimp My Ride UK. Stupid show, but undoubtedly a very talented chap. The guy wanted the best, as with everything he did to the car, so that's where he went! £3k lighter of pocket, and he had this...









He openly admits that he was mad to spend so much on having it done, but said it needed it so that the car was, in his mind at least, finished.

Stunning job anyway, and when you think how much the whole car had spent on it, the person did get a bit of a bargain I suppose!

[RST-Steve]

With a change of steering wheel, that would be perfect.............. very very nice and although it cost a lot of money and must be a biatch to keep clean, what a bargain for the new owner!!

Bet he paid relatively fook all for that car compared to what was spent on it!
