Sorry to hijack your thread, but how many times a year does this place open its doors to the public? Im heading up that way in September and would love to visit.

Smally, it doesn't open to the public. It took us 18 months to get a date. It took lots and lots and lots of begging and pleading from our club secretary, who needs a medal. Even with our trip, it is only club member's and their better half allowed, we can't even bring a mate. We have strict numbers allowed, both minimum and maximum. We are just hoping it is well worth the effort. If you are wanting to go and are a member of a club, maybe try and get your club interested...

Trying to get the club to travel that far would be the problem! Maybe I will just go to the DJR workshop / museum, the Bowdens have a display there too apparantley.

yep, its hard to pick just one. the 4 phases were hot, and coke mustang, but still the super falcon wins for me, it is the only one left in existence and the work ford put into building it, pure, complete hotness.
