ULTIMATE FORD
We head to an all-new event, Ultimate Ford Show, for a chilled weekend of Blue Oval showing and shining…
We enjoy a chilled day out with fellow Ford fans at a new show.
The Ford scene is blessed with an absolutely fantastic show scene; much better, bigger, and more enthusiastic than any other car following in the country. There’s barely a single weekend during the summer months when there’s not an awesome Ford-based event on somewhere, giving dedicated and passionate owners the chance to show off their beloved Blue Oval in all its glory.
But, with so many fast and frantic events taking place these days, some may argue that we’ve stepped away from the core ethos of what car shows always used to be about – meeting up with a bunch of fellow Ford fans to enjoy a relaxed and chilled day out showing off your pride and joy in a
pressure-free environment. Well, that’s exactly what Ultimate Ford Show is all about. Launched as an antidote to the hustle and bustle of track-based events, UFS is designed to bring back the good old days of showing, shining, and simply chilling out among like-minded enthusiasts.
With such an old-school spirit, it’s perhaps not surprising to see Ultimate Ford Show attract some of the classic Blue Oval owners as well as the more modern and mixed clubs too. This lead to a fantastic atmosphere, and an eclectic mix of all models on display. The XR Owners Club even used the event to host their famed ‘National Day’ meeting, while displays from clubs such as the RSOC, Mk1 Focus RS Owners Club, Beds RSOC, Northants RSOC, and Oval Owners all ensured there was an excellent and diverse display of Ford’s finest on show.
Although it was a very laid-back and relaxed event, that’s not to say there wasn’t anything going on throughout the day; many groups had their own on-stand competitions for the best cars on show, the local Fire Brigade hosted an RTA demonstration (watching the roof being cut off a Vauxhall is always a winner at Ford show!) and all cars were invited to enter the Show and Shine competition too.
With a summer schedule packed full of hectic events, Ultimate Ford Show offers the perfect environment to chill and unwind…
