Who likes drinking what at weekends or after work? I am a beer lover and consume pretty lot of it. Lets leave healthy shit aside. I loved some of the UK beer brew, and some malt whiskey's. But most is Belgium brewed strong beer at 8 to 10% Anyways, who likes what to drink the most?

since Brexit took in, it is no good buying anymore from UK. And i asked the salesman on the phone .."what benefit you've got from it? " He said none!

every ones own taste. I don't like it at all.

beware of buying something they advertise as this or that sport rally racing shell. Gearbox tunnel looks "klonky". How are the welds look like? How are the inner subpanels?

Motivation is now getting very low. Last 4 days of summer holidays. I think to take it very easy now and see later what comes up. Doing some gardening that is all and gives good feeling. The wether is going to become very warm this weekend and next week monday up to 34 C where i live. The day i have to go to work again. 🥺

it is called Inflation..........we had it almost at 4% recently

The modern "Mini" is out of proportions and has nothing in common as like calling it a Mini. I don't like that modern car . Just like they had this new "Beetle" An ugly car. I prefer the original classics anytime.

ive made a few calls recently at sales to Mark Calder. Any of them good service. Good help from team Burton performance

ok , just check the stamped numbers on and find out would ya? If Atlas, be sure to keep it alive, they are not cheap to get and find anyhow.

Miniliteman, i don't believe it is an Atlas axle, like they had on later Ford Capri. It looks like old Cologne ( Köln ) axle. If it would be, then keep it. ( had to edit post, sorry, lost my way a bit ) Anyway, to be sure......................... go look for it on internet Go check the stamped numbers on, Franklin....... and ask Burtons, they may be of good help. I know as Dutch customer for 25 years

a 3.09 cwp would be a very long ratio. What was original engine? And if 1200 or to 1500 cc, look at a 3.9 or even shorter ratio. Does good performance with a mild tuned ohc pinto with 5 speed sierra g.box. But dont go willy nilly with that setup. 125 Hp will take it. and a topspeed of 110 mph i'd figure is good. Tire rim combo makes difference in speed acceleration as wel. Ford Escort Sport 1600 and RS2000 mk2 had a 3:54 end ratio

Look for numbers on it or a tiny label. Must be a type number on it. Its likely on the differential "nose" to propshaft. Usually, they had as with original small capacity engine no lower end ratios like 3:9 thereabout

For the UK people who want to travel to Netherlands, European Ford Event. I hope to see some classic Fords there. I am hoping to get my Escort mk2 GL running and Mot before that date. Megaland, Landgraaf (NL) Adres; Hofstraat 13-15, 6372 XC Landgraaf Date; 15 september 2024 Time; 9:00 - 17:00 ( keep in mind one hour summertime difference with us )

Im gonna tell you somthin. In many years i did wanted to many thing of interests. I realize this, but hard to get around it. So, my car hobby has taken way to long. Got 4 none running yet. So making up my mind is qestion i have to ask myself. What do i want? At least one thing; i havent been hearing a good set of twin choke carburettors barking under the hood for like 20+ years. I think i should leave all the rest of going cycling, fitness, garden hobby for a while. I feel bad to be not in fysical good shape anymore, well that is in reasonably fashion. So since i had me another Ford escort MK2 again after many years ( a 4 dour, i had only two doors back then ) i'm very happy to have one again. Waiting for new Aldon dizzy and other iginion parts. New oil and such, to get it started after 11 years at rest. Car was not cheap, but hey what's not cheap for these models and for sure MK1 Well, i'm gonna have me some beers and some smoke, Thinking..........Tomorrow hopefully get those damn drumbrakes fitted on my Fiesta 1989. Next time i'll switch to disc Oh yeah there is this neighbour final help for whom i made a steel backyard door.

result from CG to real world. Next picture you wouldnt say but dug out 3,5 m³ (about 120 CF) of dirt The temporary parking place for the Cortina taking shape

how can someone be proud of this state-of-the-art crap build ? and whats the ufac? Only a pets nutrition store in UK or belgium french army related. is what i found

the capri looks very good. For value, a stainless steel exhaust and some nuts and bolts, upgraded brakes wont do devaluate the car for as being original. But in this as brand new condition @ 55+ grand, all painted underside, i would not dare to drive it for a mile on the the road. This all shiny glossy chassis car is more like a trailer queen. Not my cup of tea

track or road use?

could be a fibreglass replica. Otherwise a CG 3d model. Look at the arches and wheels. No room for suspension travel at all. arches cut right into the rims with the slightest bumb in road or track.

a french guy did put a 460 Ford on a push mower years ago.

Update: saturday i started at building the gate at work, and probably can get my employers father-in-law to lay the pavement. in the back of my garden. Since last week i'm working my arse off, we are so busy getting all orders done, and its hard ( tired ) to get along with my private job, But i hope to get it all done in first week of August. Below a simple impression of the end result viewed from outside the gate. Made in Maya 3D

No, you should know better Col and depends of what your kidney's value is LoL

my opinion Convert or learn to drive LHD. gt has lot more value if you restore it in mint condition. rebuild 1300 with some work will have 80-90 hp easy

yesterday was a long day. Got out of bed 4:30 am leaving 5:30 for a 330km trip to collect the car. First time i saw the car up close. The first owner ( car was from an old man ) must have been doing his best to keep it rolling, but not so well done. But for its age of 54 years, still in good nick. A few spareparts in a box and 2 wheels. As we got home, got the car of the trailer, the real first challenge began. As i could not find storage for the car, it had to stay near my garage at the back on a rather dirty erea, where youth hang out sometimes. No good feeling about it, and it sat for some time in the open. No good! I decided to put it in my garden, but had to break trough a wall and cut 2 feet wider into my garden. So i got to work till late evening, welding a temporarly frame to bridge the gap between gate and cutout. Along came my neigbour, interested what i had bought. And now the happiness comes; i told him what i was going to do, and he offered to put the car in his garage for some weeks, so i could make a decent entrance with new gate to my backyard. That was the most pleasant moment of the day. a message to all: helping each other, is of great value. As i see that everybody lives for their own uninterested to have a nice community. Still their a good people left, and my neihgbour can count on my help for sure. It means a lot to me. have a nice sunday
