    First job

    My first job was as a kid was working in a hotel as a general dogs-body, dish washer, bar cleaning, TV moving (Yes back then you had to pay extra to have a 14" TV in your room) £0.50/hour. First job after school was sheep farmer on the family farm for 20 years. Then a gigger driver, for 2 years. Then then offshore as a ROV pilot/tech 21 years. Side jobs I've done while in the farm are... Barman / Doorman, Bus driver, Lorry driver, Chase Mechanic, Axillary Coastguard, Part time fireman, Film industry driver (Speedboat, Argocat or Car) Model (Don't ask! lol), Snowplough driver, Forwarder driver.
  6. I expected a hard time about this one! haha, time yet. But in my defence, it covers the job of what was 2 cars (daily hot hatch & a tow pickup. That's how a sold the purchase to the Mrs too lol) Had it 11 years from new, had zero faults or issues and there literally nothing out there that could replace it! I do love the early ones, my first UK one was red. Yes I get the Gravel Express, that would be fun. Seen that. I'm not allowed any more 🤣
  7. Welcome to the site Dan
  8. I have a love for modern classics as well as old. 2x Subaru Impreza 2 door TypeR's Escort Cosworth. And my daily is a Range Rover Sport SVR... Yes I know, bring on the haters lol.
  9. Sorry for the Thread hijack. But does anyone know what like the rubbers and trims are like for fit and quality from this company? First I've heard of them. Just had a look through and it all 'looks' good.
  10. I got a standard repro RS2000 one off Ebuy from a guy in Poland. I'm sure he done Xflow ones too.
  11. Cibie Oscar and Oscar+ covers always were a really tight fit. I don't know how fussy you are, we used to snip a slot in the tab at the bottom on the rally car ones. On a nice car that the guys did't wont the snip we used to put them in hot water and fit.
  12. Not far from me, I've not bought anything from them personally. But been in and they have some really good stuff. Seem to just buy and sell, so you get it the way they got it, what's not always a bad thing. GS Escorts buy a lot of bits from them, found that out by accident.
  13. Hello and welcome.
  14. Welcome along to the site. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
  15. That’s a cracking line up of classics (I use that word loosely, as I have a few that are 10 years newer that could be called classics now) 😁
  16. Yes me too. I always wanted a HSR 👌

    Black plates

    I’m the same, I’m not a purist, but that’s one thing I don’t like. The MK2 looks far better with the white/yellow
  18. Happy New Year to you, and all the oldskoolford guy & girls.
  19. Welcome to the site
  20. Mine was a Opel Kadett too.
  21. Welcome to the forum
  22. Hi, welcome along to the forum. Nice cars in the photo.
  23. Welcome along to the form. And yip, my red S2 got stolen too, back in 89.
  24. That's weirdly funny, mine had a similar story... Sold it in Summer of 92 to my pal. He burnt down his garage welding and the car was in it, couldn't even find a trace of the alloys the next day, I was gutted too.
