  1. what makes it even better is they know that no insurance company will insure them so who in there right mind will buy them
  2. some one i know had dog called deefer & a cat called ceefer D for dog & C for cat & someone else know had a 3 legged cat & he called it tripod
  3. cheers for some of the info & yes ive got to agree that they are not really my choice of osf but its worth a look as you never know what else he will find for me just wanted to know abit more about them before i see it & dismiss it as its not what i want or p*** him off
  4. i know what you mean about not many about looked on a few of the usual forums & nothing even did a search & found the owners club not really much there just wanted to arm myself with as much info as poss so when/if i go & look at it i dont make myself look a complete T*** (like normal ) but for some reason they dont seem to have that big a following as the other osf cars ???
  5. time to pick your brains time a mate phoned me up today & said he might have found another car i mite be interested in (last one he found me was a 2 door mk2 escort 1.1 with 1 owner from new ) & as he is a bmw e30 nut he was not even sure it was a ford but said he saw corsair on it where the cover was off it so what i need is what to look for ? rough price guide ? how much parts are (as he thinks the front has had a bump ) ive had a quick look on the new bible (e-bay) & not really that much on there so any help would be good even some photos so i can send them to a mate to see if the car he saw looks like any of them as i dont want to find out its not what he thinks it is cheers
  6. i agree with the ban to a point ( & i smoke ) but i worked at a place that tried this bus shelter out side smoke area & they had more down time as i worked nights i had to goto my locker get my coat & hi-viz walk across a loading bay have smoke then go back time 20 mins old smoke room 10mins as for pollution old car new car ??? lets not get started on that !!!!! body filler/paint/welding ??? guilty again ive got a few friends,a brother & a mother that dont smoke so i dont smoke in there houses or cars but when they are in my house/car i will smoke so its up to them if they dont like dont call round or get in my car so yes i will respect a non smokers rights as long as my rights are respected as well & as for its bad for my health so are a lot of other things BUT i have payed enough in tax on cigs to pay for private heath care & its MY HEALTH so keep a smoking area & non smoking area & if we want to kill ourselves & watch our money go up in smoke let us
  7. tesco insurance took mine & i never saw it again & they said "AS WE HAVE PAID OUT FOR THE CAR IT IS LEGALLY OURS " but mine was a write off so i dont know where you stand with that ???? but you also said that all his mods are declared so if you take all the stuff off the car & replace it with the standard stuff they MIGHT,THATS MIGHT!!!!!! refuse a payout as that is not how they insured the car (they will try anything to avoid a payout been there done that ) & make sure you get it in writing off them that YOU get the car back whatever happens (if they agree to it )
  8. i agree with the area where you are from as ive sent that many replies & pms saying " where are you from !!!" its daft but if you look there is a bit under your name that says LOCATION but people put things like "behind you " or "la la land" ( not sure if mine tells you where im from ) but whos the worst for it ??? mods,admin but im glad you sorted the "OFFERS" thing in the for sale thread how about a "what to look for when buying a ......." in all the forums about each car & make it a sticky as im sure there is enough knowledge on each car on here that will help people get a good genuine car ie specs,problems,what rough GUIDE prices they should pay ( i know its not that easy to price up what you cant see ) plus a common fault & repair guide for each car maybe for some of the people building strip/track cars the wieght of the bits & bobs that you remove so people can see how much wieght your car can loose just by removing/replacing stuff ie windows ,seats ,trim product that you would recomend to other members to use on there cars oils,polishes,tools,upgrades thats a few i can think of at the moment
  9. might have to look into this a bit more
  10. what do you need to do these (yes i know a car ) tax,mot,insurance ? as i was talking to a mate & he said it would be a bit of a laugh to do one but we worked it out it would be cheaper to to buy something cheap & use a trailer to get it there & back (plus if something goes wrong with it we could still get home i know the £100 rotbox that has a self flushing oil system on it is not going to be allowed any where near a strip/track i was thinking more of something stripped out with a decent sized engine that you can just use & abuse without worring about the mot ,insurance & tax as this will make it to exspensive plus it will get more of the younger drivers out there aswell & are track days the same as i was told the car has to be road legal for most of these motor sport days (as they call them )
  11. theres a farmer that did wouldnt move years ago & they had to build the motorway around his house think its the M62 on the way to leeds but i think they would just put a compulsory purchase order on it now
  12. we used to sell them where i used to work in the early 90's my mate had a mk2 xr2 with scooby doo down the side & there was a black mk1 or mk2 escort that had awsome dude in bright green down the side
  13. ive got 2 teenage daughters that use it on there phones & msn (plus that has daft styles aswell ) but i think its down to habit (plus they all know what they mean ) even talking to them can get a bit confussing sometimes cos you have to TRY & keep up with the latest slang & when there mate are round but my brothers in law 18 & 21 F**K ME i think they should come with a translater or subtitles they sound like there drowning half the time
  14. Handbrake turns and drifting around the parked cars in what was a very crowded car park apparently. He then clipped the barrier with his rear end. then out the car park round the mini round a bout & then back in again
  15. has anyone owned up to being the driver of the orange RS2000 ? or does anyone know who owns it ? like most people said right time right place would have been fine but it was a medium sized carpark with a lot of people about (for the show,out with there kids & locals walking there dogs ) & some really nice cars there ( luckly it was just a barrier he hit ) but what you cant see in the photos is the car park is on a hill so where he was there was leaves ,mud & oil (got to love ford self flushing system ) plus it had been raining the night before so it wasnt the best place to do it but other than that it was a good day it just didnt need the bad press at the end as there is no chance of getting that as a regular meet
  16. you mean the minimum amount of force needed to defend yourself or other people from a violent or life threatening situation as said before if you were in daggle position would you answer some of these questions ? after all its his job & putting something like "no if you drive like a t**t in an old skool ford i'll turn a blind eye" or "i gave this one scrote a right kicking the other day" on a public forum & leave yourself wide open ???? yes we all know it happens as you get some people in every job that gets p***ed on power & makes the rest look the same !!!! i dont know daggle in anyway but he seems like the bloke that has a work life & a home life & try to keep them seperate as if you look at some posts im sure he could have arranged for a knock on a few doors by now sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but i know i come on here to forget about work (when i had a job ) dont know if daggle feels the same way
  17. think isaw one of them & he went all the way to america to meet one of them & it turned out he had just come to the uk so they missed each other
  18. i got made redundant on the 5th december 2006 but at least i got christmas & new year off
  19. not any more but have changed a gearbox on a driveway at 2am in the snow & start swapping an engine over at 11 pm after my mate blew his up so he could go to london the next day but now i find it an effort to check the oil & water some days
  20. that gun looks like one i had many moons ago (mite still have it somewhere & its alright for primer but one thing that did happen a few times was the cup fell of as its just a twist & lock so just watch out for that
  21. ive never got anything of him but ive had his website on my pc for about a year so he is not new but i must have got it of someone off here
  22. o well just got in & saw it on another site but at least everyone knows
  23. first off sorry i dont know how to link stuff so i'll just point you to the sites he has hit www.escortevoloution.co.uk mud-plugger www.mantaclub.org landyloon www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk caddylover www.mk1oc.com dinesey from the look of it he has made a killing already as he has rare & genuine parts VERY cheap now i know it sounds to good to be true & you can see it but people are still sending this person money now if you think how hard it is getting to get hold of parts for an osf you might be tempted so just think about what you are seeing & his terms if anyone can link these to here just havea read of the first ad in every for sale post its the same ad & he has got every part that people need or want mainly old/retro/performance & even gives you the reason he wants you to use paypal just have a look in the for sale section on these sites or add some more if you know of any cos im sure he will have hit a few or add this warning to other sites you use
  24. yep the jago jeep boys bought alot off me back in the day alot of kit cars are made up of ford under pinnings cos they were cheap (way back when ) & reliable im trying to find a bloke near me thats got one as he said he had a load of spares in his garage from when he had his jago & other kit cars
  25. yep thats how i got mine they get around it by being breakers or salvage yards but most of the time you have to send off for the log books as they dont have them but you get a reciept anyway my mate had a deal with a breakers yard where he got the car & all the bits to do it off them then just built them up & sold them but he couldnt buy a car if it had been used to commit a crime as these were break only or crush
