Ford Fair - 3rd August - Silverstone

[Cherie]

Sjoerd, Lord B hasn't bought a ticket through the club. If he does have a spare ticket, he would probably be best posting it to me by recorded delivery to make sure that it's here, rather than risking international post this close to the day.

Allright. You do know it is cheaper to use the C-D ferry, even if the driving distance is much longer?

I know that, But me living 10 minutes away from Hook of Holland made it an easier choice, Already paid the ticket for the ferry.

Plus the drive from Harwich to my hotel is approx 30 minutes shorter.

Sorry, I didnt realise. If necessary would it be possible to buy a entry ticket on site for my girl?

Still, the drive would be much shorter but it is cheaper from Oostvoorne (30 mins from Hook of Holland) to go past Calais. The channel tunnel costs me +/- €100. I'll drive +/- 385 km extra one way which is +/- €80 if refuelling in Belgium. Both ways are cheaper than one way on the ferry It's even faster I must be honest I rather like loading up the car with French wine and having a nice dinner in Wimereux (close to Calais) in my favourite restaurant.

Under 14s are free entry, but yes - you can buy them on the gate.

Q: Do I have to purchase a ticket for my child?
A: Entry is FREE for children aged 14 and under when accompanied by a paying adult. A maximum of three children will be granted free entry per paying adult.

I'm disappointed I have haven't had the time or funds to get my rear arch replacement Evilrob supplied me with in time for FF, had cam belt and water pump done this week.
Rest is looking ok, however I've painted rear wheel drums in yellow calliper paint and its well......totally wrong yellow, might blow them over with a zinc yellow aerosol in the morning????
However we are looking forward to our first FF and seeing you all :grin:
