Gaydon Old Ford day on Sun 24 July 2011

[XRLaurie]

Hi All

I went to the Gaydon Heritage Centre today and enjoyed it. Also have a sci-fi exhibition to Sept 4th, so I could compare my R2. Video of the sci-fi part here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmUC5yCKGIA

Anyway they also have a Ford day for any pre-1985 cars (for the display itself) on Sunday July 24th 2011, starts at 10am. Anyone fancy going? Adults £12 and kids £8. Junc 12 of the M40. http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/event/old-ford-rally-2/

They only have a handful of Fords there but I still really enjoyed the day. Here's a video of the cars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDHUm87CBEo

Hi All

Just a quick mention about this event again - it is this Sunday 24th. I'll be going with my family but I will be taking the Zetec S (not the XR3). If any of you go look out for us!

If you ever plan to go to the Gaydon Heritage Centre (and it is worth at least one visit in a lifetime) then this would be a great time to go as you'll see more Fords than normal, plus a sci-fi exhibition to boot.

5 minute video of today, so you know what you missed outside. I have not filmed the inside of the museum again, as that is on another YouTube video.

Also one car had old items displayed on the back seat, such as money, mags and an old box camera. Just goes to show, whatever you think of, someone has probably thought of it before.

Was a good day, with so many cars on Fords 100th. More cars outside than inside.
