It is a good FULL day out if you're a petrolhead.

 

[Cherie]

Good job we are both petrolheads then. :wub:

 

[mikeFRP]

looks good, whos is the frp with white wheels, that looks brand new :shock:

even like the sunstrip and usually hate them,lol

 

[Dal]

That's Kate's (Happy Kat) from Pumapeople. Top example of an FRP that one - and she drives it on loads of tracks, went to nurburgring with us etc.

k:

 

[mikeFRP]

wish i had the money to get/keep mine in that condition, lol :shock:

 

[Dal]

TBH I'd go to FF08 whether a club I was with were going or not.

 

[Cherie]

It's always good to have a wander around the other club stands and see what others do to their cars. From old school classics to the over-abundance of Imperial blue from the RS Focus mod, to the Escort Cossie's

Then there's the trade stands; spare parts galore (not so many Puma parts though), ICE stands, Pumaspeed and Pumabuild are usually there, model cars, number plates... the list goes on and on.

And if you're feeling brave (and flush) there's track time to be had.

 

[red]

Sounds good. k: I've never been to FF can't remember why I didn't last year.

 

[Cherie]

If the weather is like it was last year, don't forget your sun cream, hat, and plenty to drink. Poor 'Dink had a bad dose of heat stroke and sunburn by the end of the day.

 

[BOK]

Has anyone got a large paddling pool to bring

 

[Dal]

Think I might have one FF08 rules don't say no pool parties 8)

I'll get my speedo's on standby :funny:

 

[BOK]

I'll get my speedo's on standby :funny:

Best place for 'em :wink:

One problem though...how do we fill the pool :?

 

[Dal]

Ah.... we all bring about a bootfull of water?

 

[BOK]

Ah.... we all bring about a bootfull of water?

Far too easy, just quickly lift the tailgate in the rain

 

[Dal]

Your on my wavelength

Wasn't there a tap near that spot we had last year?

 

[Cherie]

There was one near the toilets.

 

[Dal]

Buckets at the ready then

 

[Dal]

Saw a "spiderman" paddling pool today for £5.. shall I get it?

:funny:

 

[BOK]

Big enough for all of us?

We could bring a hosepipe...but it might piss off others trying to get water for cleaning
