I should hang my head in shame, my excuse is, and it may be a poor one, i found focus northwest owners club first before, finding FFOC, I do apologise.  I know a lot of them, and went to my first car show in Cleveleys in 2019. Besides the first chance i get, i`ll come and find you lot anyway. Next time i`ll come and join you guys. This year was short notice, as originally i wasn`t going, but then a few things turned out i could go.

Just couldn't resist ribbing you over it as I said to the Mrs earlier that you were probably already a member of a local club before you joined us so no apologies necessary and just glad that your going and look forward to seeing you on the day and your friend .

Totally agree. All that teasing about the mods & then show it off on another clubs stand! Tut tut!

Here here , I think he should be banned from the club tbf

Traitor , we look forward to meeting you and your Focus on the day .

Your obviously very happy with it and why wouldn't you be as they are a nice little setup and yes definitely sounds like your timing was bang on when you 1st saw it and a good deal when you could afford well only a fool would pass up on such a good opportunity. 

Your very welcome Mark , you confirmed what I thought even though you never really mention it much and i bet it was like all your birthdays and Christmases roll into one when you got this one all new and shiny and yes being an ST version I bet you noticed the difference straight away with the stiffer suspension and more supportive drivers seat .

To be fair I can understand what you are saying & I would have been the same. 
The B-Max is unlikely to be coming to Ford Fair unless anything bad happens to the Fiesta (hopefully it won’t). The B-Max is a great car but because it’s not mine it wouldn’t be the same as having my car there. 

Thanks Mark , well I wouldn't of wanted anything to go wrong with your Fiesta either and no it's never the same driving someone else's car so yes fingers crossed nothing will go wrong with your fiesta as you do look after it pretty well .

I wondered why your name wasn’t on the list yet. I am still debating on which car to bring with me.

Yes Mark I just had to be certain that other things were in order before i committed myself to buying the tickets so no your not losing the plot and no matter which Ford you come to Ford fair in your still welcome although it would be nice to see the max .

Yes it wouldn't be the same without you Olu so were looking forward to seeing you again .

Right so that's me now booked in for this years Ford Fair and I will have the Mrs with me again as I can't keep her away and fingers crossed the weather is nice and dry for us all again .

Please note that I will be attending and I have purchased my ticket  but will be parking in the general carpark with my Audi A5

I thought that went without saying as strange vehicles won't be allowed to desecrate the Ford car club stands

Totally agree & it is a well earned change of scenery for me after having worked throughout all the lockdowns. 

Yes it's been a really stressful experience for all those that's been working through the lockdowns in the stores and everyone of them deserve a good break .

Glad you are feeling better and getting stronger just take your time nice to hear you are going to Ford Fair.

Thank you Kelvin and yes I am getting better slowly and yes I decided that I was going to go as we all need a break from being stuck behind the same 4 walls during the lockdowns and I can take it easy when we get there and rest up for while but most of all I'm looking forward to meeting up with you all again .

I won’t, I will just run you over with my wheelchair!

That will never happen .

Nah, I will just do what I always do - just deal with whatever life throws at me when it happens. 

Well don't come running to me if you break your leg .

I think last time I was sickening for something which fully developed after Ford Fair. 

You'll need to take vitamins then to keep your immune system healthy then just to be safe .

I hope I am not ill this time, but unfortunately I didn’t book my holiday early enough so will have to work the week before but I have the week after to recover. 

I am sure you will manage  it alright mate as long as you get a good breakfast down you before setting off for Ford Fair as i made that mistake myself last time so I will be at least having a bowl of porridge this time round .

Great to hear. 

Thanks  Mark and fingers crossed you won't be feeling ill this year .

Right guys I am really sorry to say but you'll just have to put up with my ugly mug again this year  as I'm going even if it kills me .

Well Kelvin I guess we will just have to wait and see and hopefully yes by June the 21st you will all be able to meet up in Cornwall as tbh the way things are progressing I don't see the restrictions being as tight by then well that's my opinion so just hope I'm right and yes it's going to be a really weird summer how ever it pans out so fingers and toes crossed eh! . 

I honestly can't see covid being a long term threat tbh as we basically went through a similar scenario when the 1st flu epidemics happened but it wasn't played out by the goverment to be as serious as covid ascthey had a different frame of mind back then .

I bet it was Kelvin and thank you as I do to .

So their starting to lift the restrictions come Saturday that's great news even if you are restricted to no more than 5 miles of travel at least it's a start and yes a quick trip to the coast would make a really nice change for you as I bet you've been feeling rather restricted .

That sounds promising then so fingers she will go Ford fair and you to .

@keggy  I thought you'd been a bit quiter than normal so now I know why and good to see it's just a technical issue and not health and yes why not get the Mrs to come along too as it will do her the world of good and hopefully  we will get to meet her too all hopefully being well by then and if I have transport available but fingers crossed eh! .

That’s a shame mate, but your health has to come 1st & spending the money getting the car back up & running is more important than spending it on tickets to events. 

Cheers Mark and very true as health always comes 1st otherwise getting the car sorted and not being able to use it is pretty pointless .

As Mark says, a shame but we might get it sorted yet, and you might feel better.

Thanks Mike and yes I may feel better well I should be ontop of my severely burnt abdomen and throat by then but my hernia has gotten worse so hoping to arrange to see a specialist at some point .

Not upto going this year as car is off the road and I need to save enough to get a mobile mechanic to come fix it plus mot and not sure if I would be able to drive that distance with my health being up and down atm tbh .
