CCI Nationals

Post by Andrew 2.8i »

The date for the CCI Nationals has been announced for this year and it's a few weeks later than usual, on the 21st May.
It's one of the most go-to shows for the Capri nut!
I'll be going and I hope to see some of you there.

It must be difficult to plan an event in show season to not clash with other shows.
I wonder if there are many Capri owners that usually attend both shows, and this year will have to decide which one to go to?
No contest for me!

Depends on how many orange Focus STs do you want to see in one place? :lol:

Both good events, but the days of driving 3+ hours to an event are gone for me, I can do an hour or so but anymore than that I'm not interested!

I've noticed some local shows have stopped and others now clash :doh:

I wasted similar time and effort getting my Capri ready for so-called Ford Fair in 2021. I’d previously been about 15 years previously and it was nothing like it has morphed into now..and was looking forward to it, but Capri was parked forlornly in some area and the miserable view of thousands of ford focusses upon a grey sky and no autojumble whilst it pissed it down was enough.
As I haven’t been to a Capri national, I was wondering what the Atmosphere is like of a evening as I see there’s just a camping area outside but no facilities, no bar, etc. I’m quite a way away so am cautiously hopeful but just wanted some honest feedback.
Cheers
