I haven't ever driven an xr4x4, but my old 2.8 xr4i was a hell of a lot of fun. I really can't see how giving it the more powerful 2.9 and improving grip is going to make it worse... My only real gripe with mine was the dreadfully cheap trim and interior, which was the victim of 80s Ford penny-pinching.

A lot of cars that have been off the road for donkey's years pre-date the DVLA computerization. I bought a Capri that had been off the road for years, but first I called the DVLA to make sure they wouldn't try and fine me for non-taxation (doesn't make sense to sting the new owner, but you never know with the DVLA). The guy I spoke to said no, and that I should just tax or SORN immediately, as getting me on the log book would then cause it to get added to the computerized records. I doubt they will bother updating old records of moribund cars - how many of these will have been scrapped without notifying the DVLA (before you had to be a registered dismantler) or will just rust in to the ground in a field somewhere?

Hi As per above, does anyone have an Atlas axle for sale? I need to upgrade from the existing Koln one so I can fit a V6. I am not too fussed what diff ratio t has, as that can be changed. Thanks

Retroglam, love the car! Your tyres - did they come with the white lettering, or did you add that after with one of those pens? If they came like it, what make are they and where did you get them?? Thanks!

I've used Lepsons before and they were great. As it happens they refurbed Wolfrace slots for me. The guy I dealt with (I can't remember his name - sorry) was v helpful. Take your wheels down and get them to have a look.
