Cheers Pip. Phone was left as i had to rush abroad to sort some personal stuff (Posse aware) and left my phone. My flatmate did his best toi keep on top of things but isn't my secretary. I only returned yesterday and have sorted this now. MK2STU shall recieve the goods Monday latest, and has been offered his money back. I would like to scream obscenities at all of you, but I shalln't. I can understand how it MAY look, but I had more on my mind than checking the OSF forum. Should I have been emailed (?!), I'd have done my best from there to sort it, despite having much much more important things to sort. Regards...

Thanks all for your kind words. DHL had apparently tried posting the items but to no avail so they had been returned to the depot, where i collected them today. They could have been collected anytime ofcourse!!! Which is what I'd do if I thought it was a "scam" but appreciate this isn't what should be NEEDED. I haven't been about online as sorting out some personal "problems", and a funeral. However my flat mate uses my laptop and is on turbo sport and other sites and high lighted me to my messages. I've now been given another TOTALLY different address to send the items to?! I did offer to give money back as soon as i found out the items had not been delievered. As for quotes such as "Send a couple of six footers round..." I'm 6'6" and 23 Stone. Go ahead. And most weekends my car is parked at my parents... feel free to damage that if that's what you people are into. I have to say tho, I'm now glad to be selling my "Old Skool Ford" and out of this "community". Thanks, Jon

changed my mind, that doesn't look at all apetising lol.

Thanks all for your "help" Could I not write myself a cheque for £14,500 just to make them eat their shit?? Surely that's fare?? Jon

PMSL Ah cool cheers mate, will have a looky. If I got £14.5k for mine, I'd eat all your turd sarnies!! After another sleepless night working on ways to send kids to boarding school etc lol I do indeed have to sell up. Gonna tidy her up inside first, so keep your eyes peeled on ebay. Jon

Sorry mate you've lost me?? I don't even know who "Ron" is... anything about his "Mk1 escort sport" or what it's worth... but thanks for an amazingly helpful response!! No LSD, Normal logbook. As for belts and seats being "In date" I dunno what that means?? But passenger belts new, drivers couple fof years old as are seats, but it was sat for about 18 months in the garage. Jon

Thankyou mate

Yeh she is, am gutted. Still hoping something comes up (Like a miracle) and I can keep her. Cheers, Jon

Oh and you'll be glad to know my weirdo bro is NOT included lol. Will put pics of the interior (Clean & with door cards & cage foam fitted) & Engine when I do the final post in the for sale section. Cheers, Jon

For an escort mk2... Do they use standard wheel nuts (For alloy wheels obviously) or "Special" ones?? Only ask because I've just finished painting mine (Which I got 2nd hand so no nuts) and want to fit them as soon as my car's out the booth (Tomorrow) but I've only got revolution nuts (If that makes any sense?!) Jon

Hello, sorry yeh i may be... what you got going?? It's a budget project tho... Lol

Cheers people. Sorry know nothing about offset etc. Jon
