I hope people aren't going to be pulling out left right and centre... a couple of us have put alot of time, money, and effort into making this happen.

We'd really appreciate it if people will make the effort to turn up, its the only time this year we're asking people to come.

Even if you have a night out beforehand, you won't need to be driving all day, so bring your car, grab some coffee when you get there and you can spend the morning relaxing.

Regards, Tim

I should be having a big night on thursday, so ill possibly have a quiet one saturday... Or i could go out sat night and leave the clubs at 5am and head straight out to Warrick Farm :

I'll bring some Meguiars quick detailer with me, and can give your car a clean when you get there, if you can make it.

There's going to be so much to see, I'm excited!

I've spent serious time and money bringing my paint back up to what it should be, thanks to advice from Todd. Can I just say that the Meguiars Clay Bar Detaling Set and the NXT Tech Wax (with the polish used in between the two) is just fantastic.

Looking forward to the day, there'll be a few suprises for people that were even at the last Eurofordclub cruise!

Well what a day, another Euroford outing and once again we dialled up the sunshine.

A big effort for those that came, and an even bigger effort by Angry for making the trip from Townsville back to Sydney then heading back North.

The day was good fun even if the cars werent moving, idle chit chat and relaxing was just waht Sundays should be about. The eurofords got a few people looking over them and one Fiesta in particular took the attention of a stalker through the day.

Thanks to Tim and Leanne for their efforts in getting the day together, the banner was brilliant.

Looking forward to the next cruise (Central Coast????)..

Todd

Good to see all the guys again...there were some fantastic cars there and of course the club had a strong presence. I think I lost count of how many falcons were present.

Hey guys another great day. Good to catch up with those that came. Everyone's car looked fantastic. Oh and I used my powers of persuasion to get angry to fly back on monday rather than drive.

With that stalker - i just feel sorry for her boyfriend i think she was tugging on his arm a little too tight. Anyways thanks to all for a great day out.

Alroity - about time I had five minutes to sit down at a computer!

There's so many people to mention from the day, but I'll make it known I had a good time. It was really good that those that came, did come. You guys made the day a success for us. We had our share of admirers, stalkers, and people who didn't know the club existed come up and say hey! I've been looking for something like you guys. So that was good.



Special thanks to Abraxas (and brother) for his help with chasing up meetup locations, and sourcing me Ford brochures. Also to LeeAnne for her help and support getting the banner to the show - without you, it wouldn't have happened! Glad Angry made it down and that you could convince him to fly back to Townsville. Fast Eddie, you're always a pleasure to have. I like the things you bring to show us, and showing our cars off with us. Thanks. Todd, you're always great to have along, you made the day enjoyable. Steve (and co), Damian, your Fiestas were standouts as well. Without you guys there, the display wouldn't have been half as good. And Steve, thanks for your 4am messages, Erin really appreciated them, haha! Glad you could make it, the dedication shown by you members for a long day was superb. I'm proud.



Thanks to non-Eurofordclub members extend to Robyn (xrgran) - your help in particular was awesome. Thanks for the flags and bags, they were well received. Also thanks to Jase from StreetFords (JR), for putting up with me hassling you on the phone at the end there. I appreciate it your time! Mark, Jo, and Jai (Wulos and co)- always fantastic to spend time with you guys. I know Erin appreciated Jo and Jai the most! Dwayne (I hope I spelled that correctly, Bucknaked), good to meet you! Also thanks to Matt (B1-B) - always a friendly face, Steve and Nic (Donut King / Queen) - especially for the chairs at the end!, Mark (MRJUCY) - the car was looking fantastic, and Jarrod (THEONE) - good to see you again, hiding away in the Blue Mountains. There are probably more I have missed! You all made the day outstanding!



I didn't get a heap of photos, as I was too busy with other things, but I got a few. You can find them all in this gallery, as well as some taken by others! I put a couple of Abraxas's up, and uploading some from Wulos as I type.

http://www.eurofordclub.com/gallery/nswallfordday

I was exhausted, and well dusted by the end of the day. Highlights for me were the GT40 (replicas?), the GT500, Glenn Setons 1997 V8 Supercar (again, replica? I was sure that car was sold off and repainted), the Lambo replica with the plates IDIOOT that locked his keys in the car, and Tim's food vendor that sold everything you could want - so long as it was a meat pie with sauce!



Not a real fan of getting up so early though, glad we don't do this every week, that's for sure! Thanks to those who kept Erin company too, while I was doing my thing.

Ok, that's my essay length post done. Thanks again guys, hopefully will get something to you from it. Also, if you didn't look, check in the bag of goodies we got for the cool brushed plaque saying you were there!

Last but not least, thanks to Erin for putting up with the 4am messaging, 5.30am start, and a long dusty day. :

Regards, Tim

Well, one week on and I'm finally posting. Firstly, a great thanks to the EuroFordClub for being so welcoming on my first outing. I really had an enjoyable day. Special and notable thanks to Timmeh for encouraging me to come along and have a good time with a great group of people.

We (my brother and I) had a great time looking at the display of Ford's on offer and meeting Russell Ingall, Steve Johnson, Glenn Seton and Greg Ritter. There were some great cars on display, and it was good to see the EuroFord's getting their fair share of attention also. Too bad I missed that one of the guys who was asking a few questions... :(

Anyway, here are a couple of my photos, since there's already been a few posted up of the EuroFords, I thought I'd include some of the other flavours we were exposed to...

The EuroFordClub Panorama

Tim, Leanne, Todd, Damien, Eddie, Myself and Teki. I HOPE I got everyone's names right! (Pffft, I just realised if I read Tim's post I would have got them anyway!)

Black XR8 Ute with Chrome GT Stripes

Parked up behind us with another BA XR Ute. Really liked the chrome effect they had going with the stripes, went well with the rims.

Ford Econovan with Airbag Suspension and Audio Galore

Played a lot of Metallica throughout the day and bounced for a lot of the time as well :

Replica GT-40's... Niiiiiiiiiiiiice

These were really nice. I'd seen the one on the left once previously, but seeing two together was very special.

Pick a Mustang...

Yep... there were of course plenty of Prancing Pony's on show

IDI-00T

This was a surprise - I don't even know the full story but it was good to look at!

Anyways, thanks again to all involved in the preparation of the day, had a good time. Maybe do it again next year - not sure. Catch up with you all some time soon

Abraxas
