Hi John,
Great photos, thanks for sharing them.
You always seem to know where all the best shows with all the best cars are, and Battlesbridge is no exception.
What the Dickens is going on in the front of that Escort Cabby? That's crazy, but I like it!
I also love the look of the black Escort 1600 Sport, but in my opinion, it could do with proper alloys and loose the banded steels with hubcaps.

The Cortina-a-like car is a Taunus TC, but you knew that already. Why did we not get a Cortina coupe in this country? We were robbed. :D

Finally, the videos are fantastic, but unfortunately they don't play very well, which is something to do with Flickr. It's better to upload them to YouTube and embed them in your post. Great to watch though! :D

All the best,
Andrew.

Hey Kris,

Yep, aiming to get down there around the 11AM mark... Used to go down Boxhill every Sunday for years on the Bike for a Rykas Burger.. So this will be my 1st Classic Ford meet down there. looking forward to it too I can tell you... Won't be able to stay too long, as i'm Dog sitting in the early afternoon, but will have time for a good look round and watch some Burn Outs.... :xd: :lowrider:

Battlesbridge was Brilliant Kris, real shame you couldn't make it... You Too Andy, it is a, well, I've said this enough now. But it's in the Diary for next year!!!

Hi Andrew,

Sorry about the Video, it was shot on Jim's phone, so not too bad. Unfortunately, I don't have a 'You Tube' account, still not really on board with all this Techno to be honest, just learnt Fliker to be honest. I'll be aiming to get over if I can to your Queens Square bash next Month, fingers crossed.

Well, all the best for now chaps, Cheers,

John...

Hey there 3 Litre

Many thanks for this Info!!! Andrew did just beat you to this I'm afraid. But still thanks, this was really playing on my Mind, as I was actually thinking of something else, so it's great you both agree, as I now know I was wrong!!! Doh!!! All the very best,

John....
