Ok, I'm going to have to stop taking requests now. We have 29 paid up, and at least 4 who said they intend on paying up. if i have sent you details for payment, please do so so I can finalise the numbers and work out how much to refund everybody on the day.
sorry to anyone who misses out this time, but after this has been supported so well, we may run another later in the year. thanks for the support.

Electrical gremlins. I think from memory a spark plug lead or something?
The only other thing that I didn't mention in the Focus Section Thread is that there were a great variety of cars there which made for a good day. I would have loved to see the MkII RS out there with the EVO IX.
