Been booked for an overnight car prep for this event! Should be an interesting job and I hope helps the owner get some decent coverage at the event, although with so many really decent cars there, the owner is realistic about standing out!

2011 we were on the Fast Ford Magazine stand. Which was ok.

This year I felt we needed to up our game. So after some discussions and emails at the start of the year I managed to sort something out which is not normally available to the general public at Ford Fair.

2013 we will be in a pit garage
