Simply Ford 2015

[sheff]

Hi All,
Had a great day at Beaulieu today. The weather turned out good in the end, but it was a bit of a wet start to the day and all the hard work put in yesterday was undone when travelling along the gravel roads in the grounds of Beaulieu House

Good to catch up with the members on here and I'll definitely be going again next year

So here's the photo's I took. And there's loads so I might add some comments later.





































I'll add a few more in a minute as soon as photo bucket has uploaded them.....







The Laser forum


The Surrey Capri club




Unusual colour but it seemed to work under the tree


Best paint job of the day... It was like a mirror even the black bits!














Savage MK3 Cortina
















An interesting Mk4 Escort with a mid engine










Best MK2 XR2 of the day and the Lad only paid £3k for it 6months ago.... Bargain!




















And heres my car before it had a wash





All the best
Neil

Hi Neil,
It looks as though you had a fantastic day out. I'm gutted that I didn't go, but I've only got myself to blame!

Lots of great Fords of various ages, all prepared to a high standard, and in a fabulous setting as well.
The poor weather in the morning didn't seem to put many people off from going. How many cars were on display?

Thanks for uploading the first batch of photos, so I can see what I missed out on!

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
It was a good turn out, must have been approx 500 cars but I might be wrong. I was surprised how many people turned up considering the weather.

You definitely need to get along next year weather permitting or jump in the MR2 just to have a look around.
When you see the state of my car it will justify why you didn't go! But a quick wash and a drive around the block has sorted that out.

All the best
Neil

Hi Neil,
Fingers crossed for a bit of sunshine next year!

500 ish cars is an incredible turn out.
I bet the stunning Capris from this forum still attracted a lot of attention though.

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Guys,
Great turn out today thanks for coming although the weather was poor to begin with.

Hope you all had a good day as I did along with the XROC, our Stand was very impressive with the Surrey Club alongside....
Nice to meet you all at long last too, here's to many more shows.

Well, a pretty horrible drive down through torrential rain at times but we left it behind for a largely dry day. The furthest the 2.8 has been since Brooklands last year. Good to meet a few guys off here for what was a pretty enjoyable day out. Here's a start on pics. I took loads so I'll do mainly Capris.

Neil, Peter,

You have posted some superb photos of the day and captured the quality of the day perfectly

Cant really add too much to them (phew ) as they are so good but maybe a couple. My phone is just backing them up to Photobucket as we speak...all 188 of them so when done I will select a couple and post up but like I said you chaps have done a fantastic job already. Thanks for taking the time to do this

All the best

[Andrew 2.8i]

Hi Neil & Peter,

Fantastic photos, thanks for taking the time to share them all.
Far too many favourites to list, all the cars look stunning!

I'm looking forward to going next year already!

All the best,

Cheers Nick,

188 photo's You had a busy day. Get some or all posted this will act as a good reminder of what a great day we had.

Nice to meet you today. Sorry I didn't spend as much time as I'd have liked with you, but unfortunately there was a lot of distractions around

Looking forward to the next time we get together
Neil

Nice photos of the day guys, weather wasn't so great at be start of the day but brightened up by the afternoon.

I think I may have arrived slightly too early given the weather at 7.30am and there was prectically no que to get it by then!

Also thanks for getting a shot of my red 1.6 (now a 2.0) 'L' with the mk2 grill and bumpers Peter!! Not exactly a show stopping car but proud to have it on display nonetheless!

Hope you all had a good day despite the weather.

Hi All,

you've all possibly got sore eyes by now looking at all these Photo's of a great day out and some even better cars. But I just wanted to add a couple more, hope this is ok with you all??? So here goes for a few I think might have been missed but worth adding...

Tell you what, start off with this, which has been posted before, but is still worth another quick pic...


How an RS should look in my book....


Spotless...


Again, spotless....


A very nice Re-Work of a Special Interior, Tasteful I reckon!!!


And Peter's Capri, don't think I've seen one of this yet and a real credit to you Peter...




Well, thats my little addition. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did taking them??? Cheers,

John...

Great photo's Peter, John and Nick. Thanks for adding them, hopefully the weather will be better next year and we'll see a few new ones.
Hopefully anyone who couldn't make the show this year or is thinking about coming next year will be encouraged to come along in 2016. I know I will be there next year try keeping me away
Great meeting up with Nick, Andy, John, Toby with his lovely other half for the first time and Mark for the second time. Hopefully we'll catch up at a few more events during 2015. Next up for me will be the Jolly Farmer meet later this month, then I need to get over to Bristol at some point to meet Andrew and his 2.8

All the best
Neil

Neil,
I look forward to seeing you at some point. If not, there's always Simply Ford next year. Nothing will keep me away (except the weather!....)

All the best,
Andrew.
