Bloody 'ell that's nearly as heavy as a Pinto!

I was looking at a mini club a while back and they have some kind of an online atlas set up where you enter details on a car and where it was stolen from.. This would be great escpecially if the WHOLE scene gathered together to add info on it and posted links on their forums etc OSF 105Speed Turbosport etc etc

I remember watching it a while back, and some bird had been on for months waiting to get a go in the driving seat (so to speak).. She ended up going home with £1 or something similar..

Nahh I never get bored of doing that mate!

Another scouser!

Has a FWD Pinto ever been done..? Imagine the understeer..

449.4mi Trip for me..

Where's the banner at the top of the page buggered off to then? I need to vote..

A genuine Ex-Works RS1800 on Ebay for £45k! Thought I'd put it here instead of the Ebay section 'cause y'know.. Its a bit special innit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ex-Works-Escort-M ... dZViewItem

Is that the car used in Men In Black? (Remember, the "Don't push the red button" car?)

If you caught them in the act you'd only get shived anyway..

"An eye for an eye makes everyone blind."

Ahhh the good old RST. Suspension designed by a small turnip, and "an engine so rough, even Moulinex wouldn't use them"

Them ones that tell you your speed are great for calibrating your speedo.

minim4rt's Dad must have signed up and voted..

I payed about £1400 (can't remember exact number) for my standard 1100 2 door, that was rather tatty..

I'm not sure whether this is relevent or not, but Zulu's just finished so I feel like swinging the lantern. During my Boy Racer days, I bought a set of alloy wheels off Ebay (kurbed to feck, but I still thought I looked well 'ard with 'em on) and put standard studs on them, and bought some locking wheel nuts to go with them.. Anyways, about a month or so later every time my rear wheel would rotate 360 degrees it would make a knocking noise. I thought this would be a bearing in the brakes or something (not much else can go wrong with the arse end of a FWD car) and after a week or so of driving about like this I decided to have a look.. Upon inspection every single steel nut had worked its self loose from the hub, with ONLY the flimsy locking wheel nut holding it on. So every time the wheel would turn, it would come away from the hub, and then bounce back and "knock" it, making the noise. Now I do quite a bit of motorway driving and with only a single locking wheel nut stopping my wheels from popping off at 70mph I was a lucky bugger indeed! Now, after a swift change of underwear, the first thing I did was DRIVE (yes, with the same nuts tightened up a bit ) to the nearest scrappy to get some alloy wheel nuts, thus stopping natural selection from successfully killing off the less intellegent of the species (IE: Me).

Have you had a go at adjusting it with a suitably sized hammer mate?

Escort21, your 'Tina is STUNNING.

Ahh fair enough, cheers anyway mate.

Ahh well mate that's what happens when you don't do the proper warm ups before exercising it.. Seriously though mate, get well soon. Wouldn't wish sore the round ones on anyone, the pain's like nothing else!
