Wow Andy. Thats brilliant fella :applaud:

It was not that long ago you were a tad worried at the numbers of XR's but its gonna be a cracking stand with 17 of us now if we all make it. Will take a bit of organising that ! We had a good spot last year...wonder where they will put the XROC Stand this year. Be nice if it was outside the museum on the concrete :lol:

See you next Sunday then Andy and everyone else. Thanks again for organising for us to join you chaps on your stand. It makes for a lovely assortment of great Fords. Well done mate :D

All the best

Hi Nick,
As we have a Gazebo, we will be situated somewhere on a grass area.
3 years ago we were infront of the museum and it was a bit too hot.....Never happy :)

Hopefully a vast improvement on the XR turnout last year.....Rain or shine mine will be there, and using the main entrance will hopefully be less dusty/messy :)

I'm with you Andy rain or shine I'll be there. And glad we get to go in through the front entrance this year, I'm still cleaning sand and gravel off the underside of my car from 2 years ago :shock: Found the stuff inside the rear bumper corners the other day :banghead:

Neil, I shouldn't laugh at this as its not funny but sorry fella :lol:

Yep I remember two years back very well indeed. You, Mark and John were full credit to this forum for braving the conditions in your Capris. I did feel very guilty for leaving mine behind in the garage and catching a lift from John :)

Looking forward to Sunday mate. Weather looks ok so far so B112 is on standby :lol:

See you guys on Sunday...come rain or shine I will be there....ish...ermmm John......... :)

All the best

No brainer. It's got to be a dark red to match the paintwork!
Laminated, of course!

Hi all

Apologies Andy but I have to go away on business this weekend so wont be able to make it, absolutely gutted as this was the first main meet of the year for me. :crying:

Hope you all get the weather and let me know if the day out at Brooklands in May is still on so I can hopefully catch up with some of you there.

Hi Mark, as Andy has said shame you cant make it. Was looking forward to seeing you again but hope to catch up with you on May 21st at Brooklands. Hope your business trip goes well.

I am keeping a very close eye on the weather now as its bleeding changing all the time and having just spent near on two weeks refurbing the front end the thought of 'you know what' is stressing me out :banghead:

All the best Mark and as said hope to see you in a few weeks at Brooklands

Hi,
If you want to join our stand in place of Mark that's ok with me :)

All instructions are in the 1st and 11th posts in this thread, please let me know so I can add you to the list.

Rain and Breezy weather now forecast in South/South West at times during the day, affecting Beaulieu around 16.00, so hopefully most of the day will be dry. But as we know, the Met Office can't seem to forecast 2 hours in advance let alone 2 days :lol:

Hi Mark,
Sorry to hear you can't make this event. I assume Brooklands in May is still going ahead, I'll try to catch up with Jaye at Beaulieu and see what the plans are. Anyway we must catch up soon, so we need to arrange something now the weather is better and the evenings are getting lighter :)

All the best

Defo need to catch up Neil, keen to see your paint job and the new brakes.

Gutted cant make this weekend but hopefully Brooklands is still on which is not too far away, I have already found a meeting spot south side of hindhead tunnel if Nick is still planning to come down A3 and meet us there to all go back through together, we can meet Jaye there as well or we can meet Jaye at petersfield services and then all 3 of us go up to Hindhead to meet Nick.

Let me know when is good to meet up with you over next couple of weeks
