Haynes Breakfast Meet September 2018 (Ford)
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2018 8:04 am
Morning All!
As some of you will be aware, a few of us forum members recently met up to go to the Haynes museum breakfast meet in Somerset. Andy's great organisation skills ensured that we parked in prime positions in the car park at the front of the museum......but it also meant an early start. Here are the forum cars and a few other great Fords (Orion out of shot) meeting at Podimore services ready for a convoy to the museum.

There were so many incredible cars at the meet, so I've split the photos up into Fords and non-Fords. Where better place to start than the Fords?
Here are the forum cars...
Rob's amazing Special

I was pleased to be able to help, in a small way, the owner of this Escort. His son had managed to lock the car with the keys still in the ignition, but luckily, I was able to use my key to open the car. That's 80s Ford security for you!
The moral of the story is that it is dead easy to get into old Fords, so make sure you use additional security products when you park or store your prized possession.
