exactly to the word the same as me m8 mines kinda a mexishco , it happens to have mk2 rs wheels , the mexico pinstripe , the wider wings i used to listen to them but too many people have said the " ah why dont you use a 2 litre " erm , cos i dont want to , im more than happy with the xflow thanks it might sound big headed and a bit self rightous but i just play dumb and ignore them now some people are entertaining and have a good old skool story to tell and im more than happy to listen , but when i get asked " whats in it " i just cant be arsed ive got a scort because i like them as cars , ill happily listen to whatever story anyone has to tell but i hate talking about mine

i can see big kevin making a purchase

i remember those days it was always someone with " you must have massive balls to build a car like that "

* whip cracking emoticon *

isnt apprenticeship an anagram of slave labour

i can give you an apprentaship itl be a packet of bourbons and 60p a day though and you will have to spend your time on the gravel driveway under ma scort all the best of luck to you

2 letters and 2 numbers to look like a police car it means you wont be followed by a helicopter in a chase

ive seen your comment and raise you a " id rather cut my floorpan out and do it flintstone stylee than put a type 9 in my car " ive got a mk2 1600 sport in mine and the only box id put in it is a mk2 rs2000

the path the air actually travels may be quite different from the contour of the vehicle. For instance, a flat shape with equal distances over and under can produce a lot of lift. If you don't believe me, try this experiment at home (just don't sue me if you do). Step into the bed of a pick-up truck and lift a 4'x8' sheet of plywood over your head. Be careful to hold the sheet of plywood parallel to the ground, while the driver slowly accelerates to 60 mph or so. Now comes the fun part. Grip tightly to the sides of the plywood and quickly tilt the leading edge upward. What happens? Instant lift (and an impressive, if short lived, Peter Pan imitation). What you've just experienced is the influence angle-of-attack has on lift. Take a symmetric (top-to-bottom) airfoil shape that does not produce lift when it is aligned parallel to the air flow (i.e. is at zero angle of attack) and point it up. It produces lift. Point it down and it produces downforce. While the physical distance over the top and bottom of the plywood are the same, the distance the airflow travels is not. Likewise, you don't need angle of attack or even thickness to produce lift/downforce. A thin curved shape like a Venetian blind slat will also produce lift. This is an extreme example of wing camber.

hmmm weve seen your estate but do you have a pic of the 4 door ? the estate would be good for hauling stuff and its easier to sleep in plus its more aerodynamic than a saloon as the air flows off the back of the roof in a more controled manner whereas the saloon gets a bit of turbulance off its roof and boot and a low presure area is created where the rear window is

is that to stop the panels resonating ?

it would be good to get a place that we could have a laugh at and still be allowed back next year osf annual event

going kent would mean going near that moat they have around london called the m25 maybe a smart member could put up a map with all the members that tim has shown on it as dots ?, itl help us visualise where everyone is

hmmm i havnt seen smithy for a while

would be good if we could source a field to abuse

kin ell how posh are you id need to get a monacle to be let into stanford hall they dont look like the kinda people that would tolerate me organising grasstrack drag racing

could make a proper weekend of it wheres bruntingthorpe ? is it the kind of place youd like to camp over ? would be good to get a lot of people together in one place at one time and if we can hoon around in our cars all the better

dont you have most peoples addresses tim ? you know what its like the northerners dont want to go south and the southerners dont want to go north

anything involving the words big and kev and im in

can you lend me a few quid m8

id be up for that YFKT about time we started giving back

no tax to pay and if i get friendly with the takeaway , cheap veggie oil

cool , ive been thinking of getting a mk1 cortina and having a decent diesel in it

ah burtons prices the duratec was in the ford ranger i believe

good point ill have to ask james later , i think its because the standard injection stuff isnt much good and it eliminated the wiring needed to run it we spent a fair few hours lent over it all with wires in hands "wtf does this wire do " i know fook all about wiring but we got it done in the end , its fairly simple really also engine mounts can be bought/made to fit the zetec straight to the escort cross member . the xe needs mounts made to bolt it to the chassis rails
