well ive put some tyres on the ronals i bought off dunc for the mk3 at the yat-she seems driveable except she doesnt like self centering the steering. ill limp her to work and back this week and see what happens! 13s look weird after 17s but tthey dont look bad-better pics to follow in the daylight

im back now jo-had the dreaded "anti ford feeling" for a couple of months and almost bought a triumph 2500s but a swift course of anti depressants and electric shock treatment brought me back into the fold to be honest he was going that quick i didnt really see him coming and all i made out was that it was a big dark car with a boot-bmw or merc maybe. my girlfriend was surprised when i said that to her as im a professional driver and apparently im one of the most observational drivers shes been in a motor with old bill werent interested - no one was hurt,road wasnt blocked and i had no details for the car HPE last time my car did a 360 was on the feild at weston park in april-it was far more fun back then As you said mate good job your a professional driver even though you took the tyre's off the rim's it could of been ya rear quarter and front wing well driven cheers matey-i know it was lucky and these things happen but its a shock all the same...it all happens in 3s mind-the mrs hurt her neck saturday night and her daughter passed out and ended up in a & e sunday-all fun in the cords house HOPEFULLY thats it now!

some tw@t forced me off the road friday night on the m6/a444 junction.i was heading home from rhiannons (the girlfriend) doing 40-50mph and this dark car came from nowhere at warp factor 9 as i left the roundabout and was millimetres from my front wing when it cut me up- i stood on the anchors and steered hard left,did a full 360 and smacked both r/h wheels on the kerb in mid spin onto the grass verge. absolutely shat myself and the tw@t didnt stop!!!!! i limped the car 200 yards to a parking bay. changed the rear wheel for the spare while i told rhi about it on the phone-good job she came out to me as i got half a mile and the front tyre deflated too. all i can say is thank god no one else was involved and only my pride was damaged-couldve been far worse! i know i have 2 scrap 17" tyres and 2 dented rims. steerings stiff (darren and racingdave off my site have both suggested the rack is likely to be bent). dunno the full extent til i get the car checked by someone a bit more mechanically minded than me how sad does she look rear-alloy LOOKS ok but wont risk using that tyre again front could be buckled-couple of good dents again i wont risk the tyre if the alloys are shagged i may get them repaired but get some 15 or 16 inch ones for daily use (mondeo 5 spokes or scorpio ultima 12 spokes) and keep the 17s for showtime..................although she might end up on 13" rims yet as moneys tight-i move house in 8 days! had a prod around underneath and the rack looks straight but ill get a recon to be on the safe side-you never know do you like i said-ive only just stopped shaking

it was a proper belter of a day-took me 5 hoursish to get home to coventry though-the m6 is indeed gay! the black mk2 on polished slots was car of the day for me along with the yellow mk2 capri CLICK HERE FOR MORE PIX-theyre on my site! ive opened up the reports area for guests to view

lost my first 2.8i capri on a roundabout the first night i had it outside a nightclub....i was well gutted as the queue was full of fit women

then 22-11-2006 now-june 2007

can i have your bumper under riders? looks sweet dude

got busy fitting speakers...far better than the holes in the doors 180watt FLi 3 ways-sound lovely! spot whats powering them... nope-its not the original push button jobbie-its this i love a stealthy install!!! just cassette for now-not worried as i dont drive so far these days-i do have a dab digital unit with cd and mp3 playback down at bentleys to fit though and finally ive been playing with light tint spray-i think it looks subtle yet different-what do you lot think?

there turbovecs i think They suit it well, did you get them off cortinapaul??? turbovecs indeed chris! made by wolfrace a good few years ago now! theyre such a cool rim-pity no ones made a 17" version!

i bet the drivers ga........oh hello darren! looks better with every pic

yep-to the point you can put it on a single peice of track and pick it up without the track falling off! its a tad low though. my track is getting on a bit (arent we all lol) and it beaches sometimes got my eye on a boss 302 mustang next

a scalextric RS1600 VERY hard to lose it on corners thus avoiding slight incidents with wardrobes handles better than the F40 Ferrari i have!! i have a few more-mostly fords so ill get pix when i get 5

cheers for the comments guys! they are a bit modern but look better in the flesh-really suit the shape! i have my eye on some of the ones called "flash nera" CLICK HERE for the mk3 tina when shes done-satin black with highly polished chrome rim and a 2" dish-if i can manage £850 ill have a set with tyres!...either that or theres a set of graphite/chrome deep dish 17" 5 spokes in the local wheel shop for £440 with tyres--------guess i like to be different!!

some say that modern 17" rims look $h1te on oldskool motors but ive just put these on my baby and reckon it looks fahookin' wellard! what do you lot reckon?

seeing as its dark now heres a dark pic of the ex markrobson1 (off buysellcortina) mobile couple of better ones...totalford sticker was put on at 745 yesterday morning-got to promote my site already sorted most of the electrical niggles-with a mish mash of the original fuse box and the spare dunc kindly gave me did the trick- the carbs had a good clean and the timings had a tiny tweak-she doesnt stall as much now- i need to get it done properly and have the carb rebuilt really. plus i need to investigate why shes over heated on mark- i suspect the rads blocked or theres an airlock somewhere next jobs are stereo and speakers as mark has kept the others for his new crusader-seeing as i have a proper ford radio that mark took out of the crusader i might just fit the cd player in the glovebox or something!! loving the estate in a big way

like that too!

the hard works worth it-that looks fookin awesome!
