Hence the reason I think a pre reg with orginisers/old bill may help to get rid of the burnouts etc and bad behaviour in the short term for everyones good kenny

maybe keep and eye out or ear to the ground http://armaghi.com/rally-car-stolen-from-garage-in-county-armagh/

thinking maybe she has u running round in circles there take her square frames off and get her round specs then it will look just fine

But then again most of us bought the old cars were had fun in or couldn't afford back in the day to relive our youth . If we wanted to drive within the law without fun we would have bought a ford model T to be honest, the main thing is stated time and again... abide by the wishes of the even organiser and or venue owner ..do your broad sides or lay down your 11's in your own time and space but most of all drive safely and happily in your OSF

Well I agree with a lot of the comments so far with the exception of the video camera crew one ! As said in the post earlier maybe a pre reg system and all details to the local pc plod will weed out the A holes a bit quicker and make for a good meet.There are probably more boy and girl racers viewing such gatherings that cause a lot more hassle thinking they have an osf for the night as there aint nowt like the sound of a nice exhaust to get the hormones flying.... kenny

I agree whole heartedly vista if orginiser or venue host requests no messing well it should apply thankfully in Ireland the ford men are more into runs like the Lakeland run over there and during the course there are enough places to slip the tail etc leaving shows they don't do the line lock or doughnuts but maybe a few will drift down the road.usually we have mashals standing everywhere stopping traffic or kinda blocking the shitheads from doing such crap.

two things I see here first im 46 and young enough to have done and still would the odd time lay some rubber down secondly why is everyone getting all high and almighty about this..first one never to do it at all ever can complain I think we are all guilty.. ( me I like to see a rwd car under control slip a nice broadside be it a twink Toyota or mk2 escort etc) now solution maybe are mini removable road bumps a council can provide or as with the iec mourne run maybe pc plod should ask for all attendance vehicle details as in with parades commission application because that is what it takes in N.I. for a run or meet... it pisses me off to hear the "oh I never done that brigade "act all high almighty but having said that IF a venue asks attendees NOT to leave in such manner then they SHOULD abide by that choice as they are helping promote you past time kenny ps :yes I know that response will piss a few off but maybe a free speech isn't a bad thing in this pc world now

Distastefully Modified Old Skool Fords - Show us your worst!

omfg that's a whole new level of dream machines lol -
I have to agree with above I like it a lot. definitely different and would turn a few heads. Now coilovers linked and rear drive with a cossie lump would be the way to go
-
as said before I disagree as in the last year ive sold three cars with no info but the basic with a price and quality pics. All cars sold to first caller and all full price got ,infact when my escort sold the lad travelled an eight hour round trip never took for spin and paid 2k deposit there and then.. there were a lot of other cheaper cars with full description for sale and cheaper ,closer to him but chose the no nonsense add as he said if you put too much emphasis on what car contains to make it good then maybe you hide real issues like bad work on actual car That was his take on it anyway. Me I drove 5 hours to buy the 4door with a 3 picture minimal word add because the pictures were quality and spoke louder than words just my opinion lads and lasses
-
aw bejesus they wernt bully boy tactics at all I think the escort lads were really gathering around to look after an older sibling
-
not really I sold my ecort to first caller with a very simple add no tyre kickers or messer type thing and bare basic ie 4 year resto nice car. if someone is interested its some times better to let them decide if car is worth buying all I wanna see is a price and fone number I wouldn't look at a car with no price just my opinion as too many people think they have minty fresh cars but mint to them and me are away of the mark

nice lines on the grey one only joking your Kermit looks well
