RSOC National Day Concours

[roop]

Well, I entered my first concours competition last weekend. My first visit to the Ford RS Owners Club 'National Day' at Donington Park and right in at the deep end with the concours boys. Arriving at 8:15am and had not finished prepping the car by 12:15 when the judges arrived (despite over 40 hours of prep prior to the show). The result was second place to Kevin Flatman's car. I was well chuffed. Thanks to Gaffer who amongst other things cleaned up the tyres on the set of councours wheels a treat and de-dusted the interior.

LOTS of people there - Most asked questions...? What's that stuff...? Is it hair gel...? Why do you put it on with your hands...? All referring to me applying Zymol glaze by hand...!

Highlight of the day was the old Gp.A RS500 racing cars with original drivers - Rouse, Harvey, Gravett, Newman etc. They did give them a good blatt round the track as well...! :cloud9:
