Fiesta Steve

Absolutely amazing achievement, which is probably not appreciated enough by most people here. Dave set his 13.08 some time in the 1990's and it was an epic 1/4 mile time back in the day. Its taken all these years to be beaten which goes to show how difficult it is to run those sort of times with a fwd xflow. Is anyone aware of a faster n/a fwd Ford ?? Maybe it's time to finish mine, hopefully it'll be competitive. Well done Simon, it's a wonderful achievenent and well deserved too..

Pun intended, lol ?

Pod face here !

It was a plain yellow escort, I don't see the need for anyone to put their 'stamp' on it.

Not really, I'm near Ashford but was worth the trip.

<br /><br /><br /><br />And some GP bikes<br /><br /><br />They did a couple of laps through the high street and they didn't hang around either, lol

That looks lovely mate

What great friends you are, you should be proud of yourselves

I watched that too, I thought it was an excellent programme. My uncle fought in the Falklands so I find it all very interesting.

..and why are they all better at it than us, lol

Welcome to OSF, enjoy the site..

Welcome to OSF..

85. Fiesta Steve 8 x tickets 3 x stand passes Why can't I copy and paste anymore ??????????

Hi and welcome, this is a good classic Ford site too, glad you found us

a Pinto, lol .....

Hello Emu Its just another 2 litre engine with bits inside that go up and down and round and round so you won't gain a lot. It will end up costing you something to install and will be a whole load of work all for little gain. You could just spend that time and money on the pinto you already have and it will deffinately go better

Could be a cheap Chinese plug with their name on, worryingly !!

As said, a standard NGK will be fine. I'm sure Accuspark don't make plugs, it'll probably just be their name on an NGK anyway !!

I've got a focus and a mondeo too, only managed to clean 1 out of 3 though, lol

Modern fords have an arrow on the fuel gauge telling you which side the filler is on..

I took my bike on the May Day run today down the A21 and there were two lovely Old Skool Fords parked outside the pub, A blue Mk1 Escort and an Anglia. I also saw a new lambo (couldn't tell you what type, they all look the same, lol, and a really old lambo, loads of Ferrari's and a Delorien (not sure of correct spelling ! I found this video on youtube and you can see the OSF's in the background;

I'd get one built on the car to the spec you want rather than anything 'off the shelf'..

Is it a facet interupter ? They are best fitted nearer the tank than in the engine bay. Apparently they are a pushing pump rather than a pulling pump and also do not like the heat found under the bonnet.

Hope to see it out and about soon mate
