I spent a good few hours wandering around the show and thought it was really good for a one marque show. I was surprised at the low volumes of mustangs, either there on stands for traders or at the Ford area. It know it has been mentioned before but it would be a good idea at such events to register as a club? I would be happy to help out if needed especially at Fordfair as I live two miles away! Outside of this post is there a need to set up some form of official post or mustang6g "official" event. I hate the word official....but I sort of mean a section where if you are a 6G member you can come along and park with all the others. I didn't really explain that too well did I, !!!but like I say happy to help if the consensus is it's a good idea

Would be a great idea. I know from my Jap owning past, that you can sometimes set up an account where you can give us a password to log on and order tickets and track time for a specific stand.
Think we would be able to get quite a few 6G members there.
I saw someone else mention it on the simply mustang forum too (is that you?)

No wasn't me, honest guv. If enough think it's worth giving it a bash then perhaps we could select some shows and see if we can make it work. I know we have a meets "sticky" but this is a little more than that?

That's cool so some friendly competition between mustang 6g forum and Simply Mustang Facebook page. I do think they will win due to having more than on MY on their stand but we can try!

I had mine on a stand with Ford Mania, i was also surprised and disappointed at the lack of Mustangs on show, i was hoping to get some ideas and hear some exhausts

I am about to head off on holiday but perhaps when back I can post some specific thoughts up. If enough people think they will attend under the M6G banner then no harm in providing them somewhere to park and access to tickets etc.

Another option could be to piggyback onto an existing group, i know for a fact Ford Mania would welcome more mustang drivers, we could still fly the M6G banner but established groups generally get better stands at these shows, plus they all have the club accounts set up

I could mention it to the bloke that runs ford mania and see what he thinks of us joining Ford Mania, Mustang Maina has quite a nice ring as a sub group

It's worth asking for sure then we have some options. It (the club option) may be greeted with no interest then we can join up as individuals to clubs as we see fit, but if it works then it might need someone more people know in the real world to line up behinds than an early poster like me. However I am happy to help

i have just spoke with Ian at Ford Mania, suggested that M6G roll with Mania to see what he thought and this was his response

"Id love that if you guys did

sounds fab to me mate

id welcome you all with big massive arms...as im toying around with a mustang next

"

he also said to mention "dont forget to let them know i am linked with 19 discounte traders all offering 10% off for just 10 quid a year"

so we are welcome to join up with Ford Mania, and make Mustang Mania a thing, if anyone is interested all you have to to is join the facebook page, they post regular updates and invitations to shows, the next one is FordFest at santapod

i can vouch that they are a great group to be part of, they are welcoming to everyone

https://www.facebook.com/groups/rsmania/

i'll start a new thread tomorrow telling everyone about the invitation to join Ford Mania
