    Great , I love that you hate the rotaries, but get to judge them😄 I just added a random photo of 2 of mine that are on the road, as it is sunny out today 😎
  3. Rally Pack 2000
    Oh dear! I see the rotaries (and more importantly hear the vile things) at shows every week. Im my youth as part of an Escort gang they were the local enemy. Mainly the Lebanese boy racer community. You dare not follow one with the flame throwers that shoot out their exhausts, and risk melting your windscreen. What a waste at todays fuel prices! RX4s which were weightier were slower than our 2lt Escorts. The later RX8s were slower than ALL Escorts. With the RX2s and RX3s When I beat them in street drags (There were no Karen criers back then) they would always claim I must have modified my car but I would always let them look it over, all was standard. What they didn’t know is I sort of cheated and always specified a set of lights just before a reasonably steep hill. They have virtually no torque so never were a match for a high torque to weight ratio of the Escort. They never did figure it out! Their shells had no rigidity compared to Escorts and with all their power they had brakes smaller than our Mk1 Escorts. They would wind the things up and never able to stop them afterwards. At shows where I judge they still always give me the Rotary Category. I asked the guy who runs it why do you always give me the Rotaries, I hate the things! He says yes that’s why I give you that group, you're very impartial you hate them all equally! LOL

    I'd like a classic Mazda RX3 rotary. I keep hoping Rally Pack James will send me one over. I haven't seen a UK one for 40 years.

    First show of the year. Even the rain held off which is very unusual for the frozen north. An eclectic bunch of motors for your perusal. The BMW was absolutely stunning. Car of the show. The pictures don’t do it justice.
  11. Last week

    So you mean this ........... rather than this? But possibly this? 😀
  13. ekjdm14
    Yes my brother... lol last I saw the police were digging in the grounds of the place (and we went for a nosey down Middlewich custody suite where they were all trying to break in to rescue the leader! Peace and light my bawsack!) Been back over to Wales again today, this time in a pug 306 & typically saw a good few old fords, Mk1 and 2 Escorts & a late Capri amongst others.

  15. Jerrytom161

    We're over near Crewe (more's the pity!). We did go for a day out around Talacre bay, think it was Tuesday so you may have spotted us going down the A55. Speaking of which, rear wheels are in dire need of balancing & I mean DIRE... Anything over 62mph you can feel the wobble come on & gets truly horrendous by 70 just where we wanted to be cruising at.
  21. BIG G
    Where abouts in Cheshire are you as I'm just over the border near Mold.
  22. BIG G
    Maybe the wanted section needs a try as I for one have so much stuff squirrelled away escort/pinto/random tuning stuff from over 35 years of ownership its on the verge of causing a divorce........fingers crossed 😀

    Hi Ray, I am sorry to hear this. This falls short of our customer service expectations and doesn't align with the usual positive feedback we receive. If convenient for yourself, would you mind dropping me an email with more information on how you felt the quotation process was difficult so I can investigate this further? Your feedback is important and I'd like to make sure this doesn't happen again. My email is jayne.jordan@abbeyfieldsinsurance.co.uk Kind regards, Jayne.

    Update on this for all OSF members after speaking to another member who had experience. Only use if desperate. Be aware of "1960FordParts" on Fleebay. Parts prices are high, quality may not match and when things go wrong, the seller takes his ball home! Not a pleasant experience and that's putting it lightly.
