well im sure you will all be pleased to know i did my 186+ (calibrated) on a runway at a pre launch event for the as new then 996 911 turbo P.S. would of gone faster but ran out of runway............

Christ ! He's barely had his kid and he's having a "mid life crissis" and re-living yoof with anuva work in progress capper ! Fair play mate she looks like a bargain

What a waste of a good engine !!!!

No 7 is funny as fook No 8 is that where the saying "overkill" comes from ???

186+ 911 TURBO - Me driving too

I think I'd rather be driven around by the like of Stirling Moss or John Surtees than the like of some young drivers Nah ........ VBH

You cant have an OSF when your that age unless you get vinyl seats....... i think you get where im coming from

Extreme !?! I actually started putting " old people should be shot " but i thought that was a bit extreme.

There was some old git drove down the M4 between the swindon junctions the wrong way Unfortunately not every one was as lucky as you jo, he hit a young lad in a calibra head on My mate who recovered the cars off the m4 said there wasnt much left of the calibra and even less of the driver Old people should be made to hand over the keys when they hit 60 !!!

Id have to replace tiff needell, then i can thrash the sh*t out of cars by day and have VBH to myself by nite

Finish saturday at 1pm, back in 8am on the 27th But its not all bad, we have a 37" LCD TV for our sales figures, Thats gonna be getting a XBOX 360 plugged into it !!!! 8am till 5pm of solid gameing, oh and answering the occasional phone call And no missus or kids interfering

Esslinger Engineering (usa) make bigger pulleys ! Prob cheaper to get 1 shiped over than to have one made !?!?!?!? P.S. if you go on there website, take a look at there 2.5ltr PINTO.

I have absolutely no idea what started me off........!! All i know is that when i was 17 and id passed me driving test i had to have a mk2 escort. Me mum and step dad dont drive so it aint from them ! Maybe i am the chosen one and it was my destiny to own many a old skool ford ???? 13 years later and probably 30+ Fords from 1974-1998 im still lovin it just as much as i did the day i got my first mk2. OSF 4 EVER

Damn nice 'tina !!!! Wht would my mk2 escort get with a 2.0 pinto, 4spd and a back axle off a 1.3 auto ????? sorry if im nicking ya thread......

I know its a long time ago, but ford did this to nearly all there mk1 + mk2 escort rally cars. So many times you hear on dvds " vatenen rolled it in greece, it was reshelled and used again in the rac" etc etc........ Does this mean that stw, poo, xev etc etc, arnt worth sod all because there on there 2nd, 3rd 4th shells ????????? If what your saying about ringing is correct then why isnt the govenment going to motor museums etc and claiming half the cars in there as "rung" and crushing them ???? I agree that falsifying a cars id purely for economic gain is wrong, but to give life to an old reg number is a good thing surely ? Ford thought so !

I know the one you mean,done by the pracy brothers and was in max power years ago when it was a good mag . I got the mag somewhere at my mums house get it scanned kev I got that mag too. but its up in me loft (put it up the about 3 weeks ago !!

Yep. wot a tw@t

.............and the smell of burnin rubber

"Resurrected" did you not see the "accident" there wasnt anything worth saving panel wise. it was propper fooked !!!!

Ive had the carbon boot spoiler before and all it done was mark the paint on the tops of the rear quarters,they are ok if you can file the spoiler down a bit so they dont touch the paint. But there is hardly no weight differance really. Thats no grief. i'll get a clear anti stonechip "sticker" (as fitted on the front edge of the rear wings on porsche 911's) and cut it down to protect the paint....

Many years ago me and my mate "reshelled" one of his mk1 escorts. Mint shell 1.1 running gear Shite shell 1700xflo + rs running gear Started at 8am By 7pm everything was swoped from 1 shell to the other (including chassis tags) Best thing was both cars were red........

I got mine from South West Panels (local panel company) Front panel = £29.95 + vat Front Wings = £29.95 + vat each Good prices me thinks

Capri no23 was the one on the clarkson dvd, blowing away that £250k brabus merc Unless there was another, no1 was destroyed on 1 of those gumball 3000 type races......

I thought Steve Parish (ex motorbike and truck racing champion) had that 1 ????

aint that a brazilian ????
