Chris standage

Yep i see haha, well i look forward to it, glad i got a place on the stand, last show at battlesbridge was good, hot weather apart from the downpour at the end of the day.

count me in

Cheers for the replys guys, its a 1600 xflow on a webber twin choke, ive had a look in the cap all is fairly clean inside and the condenser looks pretty much brand new, im just gonna start playing around with thing, im hopefully getting a couple of caps and coils to try from one of the guys, i will have a look into the carb aswell, this is all fairly new to me being my first old car. However i was looking to sometime in the future get the engine tuned up properly, go for a full rebuild and buy it loads of nice new performance parts haha, ill stick to the bog standard engine for now for insurance purposes.

Hi guys After having my mk1 escort for just over a month now, been on 3 journeys with it now and i have noticed a complete missfire of the engine, so when driving along at about 50 or under acceleration the engine seems to stutter, a couple of people ive been out with have told me different things to check, think im gonna start replacing a few things starting with the coil and HT leads. If anyone has any other ideas they would be appreciated or on places to buy parts around the essex area. Cheers Chris

Yeah great pics, was good to meet other people, it was only my second meet as such, need to get my car sorted before its picture worthy haha, and yes that was a very good camera you had.

Yeah im always up for a drive as long as im not at work, the more i get out and the more i get used to it the better.

Picked up the car yesterday and got the insurance sorted today 410 quid for the year, ill be coming along to the wingspan summer show next month and look forward to it.

Thats a sunday so thats all good with me, thankfully dont work sundays, i mean ill try get out to as much as i can when i get the car.

just checked the date, looks like im gonna be on a late shift which is annoying, hopefully i can get off a bit earlier that day, but for now dont think ill be able to make it.

Yeah i will do, hopefully have the car by the time that meet is on, was it the 29th you said.

Cheers guys, yeah good to see someone i slightly know haha, and yeah ill attempt to fix it, damn trucks.

Names chris from southend on sea in essex, i currently dont have an old for yet but will be buying a mk1 escort 1600 crossflow from a freind at work in the coming weeks, work down near coryton fuel refinery where one of your members is a driver for shell, i look forward to owning the car and doing things with it.
