e501

Had a dolly sprint approaching 40 years ago, very good car, overdrive was nice. Was certainly faster than my mexico and my home made rs2000. Let down by half the head bolts going in at an angle instead of vertical which caused head gasket failure. Live rear axle was nicely located. So yeah a better car but i preferred the mk1 escort...

I expect the ****s blocking the m25 will buy them.. then they can just drive around the m25 flat out or run out of battery and stop the traffic...

Meant air cooled

It was a horrible beetle thing, where the top is chopped of and replaced with a soft top i think, forget what they are called, not too interested in water cooled vw,s. But agree 8 years is not enough for such a horrendous crime, poor chap lost an eye...

No because power and aerodynamics also come into it..

But in a light car with a ton of cast iron up front wouldnt think they are needed, didnt ford use smaller drums on the rs2000..

But i dont think ev,s charge up in 5 minutes, something i was reading about the other day was i think 4 hours for a 80 % charge, not much good on a long journey. And as we probably all know if this country ceased to exist it would have no noticeable effect on world emissions, yet we are being forced into ev,s ..

I bought a pair of original princess calipers years ago, never weighed them but they were so heavy, ( felt heavier than my spaced m16 calipers) quickly sold them on..

No No No, the flames are on the good(ish) bit..

I think he must get reported because suddenly they dissapear from sale, then pop up again under a different user name, does various cars but the ones i notice are ford anglias and mk1 golfs.

Yeah its a scam, been doing it a while on various cars, ebay gets rid of them and hes straight back under a different name. You can tell its him because they have a rather odd price..

Fast back model, i remember back in the 1970,s someone i knew bought a brand new skoda, while looking around it i noticed you could see the road through the gap between the sill and bottom of the door.. Excellent quality control.

Thats the bit of the show that always annoyed me, even when he sells the cars back to their original owners..

Had a 1300 gt 35 odd years ago, had non flared wings, normal strut tops and black rear panel.. (oh and absolutely no rust)

Assume you mean ther 6r4 but with twin turbos i believe
