  1. It'll come to you! ah driving lessons, I remember those. I also remember being told to slow down, and to think what was on the roof when I moaned about being stuck behind other learners! I learned on a Mk2 daytona yellow escort, and was gutted when they sold it (would have bought it off them, had I known) and bought some jap crap!!!

    shocking

    Where have I heard that before? Oh that's right, it was said about the West Indians in the 60s, and probably the Jews in the 40s. If the jobs were not vacant, or British people were doing them for the money the Eastern Europeans are getting, I am sure they would not be here. Not every last one of them is on the dole. They live in the UK too, they don't go home every night, so are paying rent, buying food and using some kind of transport, so why can't the British, instead of sitting on their arses? I am 45, left school at 15, never claimed a penny in Dole and have at least once had more than one job.
  3. I've got yhjree sar outside roo, and why was I not told about the Granny??? Did it have a sunroof?
  4. Bought a Mk2 transit in 1986, still got it...... How many cars will still be about in 2028? God that date sounds soooo 70s sci fi!
  5. you try picking the letters off to reuse them Use sellotape, as long as you don't leave it on the sellotape too long, it will come off, or press it down very hard then wet the sellotape, it comes off in the wet. I haven't re applied it yet, but that's what I did with the 'custom' stick on badge off the back of me minibus. I want one of those signs too, only it would have to read 'van' instead of 'car'......
  6. Yip of ot was taken off the raod before SORN it won't need to be sorn'd until after the next tax it gets runs out.

  10. Still waiting for me back bumper, that stick back plastic has now been on for nearly a year!! Mk1 or Mk2? I have got a mint mk1 bumper still in the ford plastic but it will need to be a good price im afraid Mk2 saloon, 1985 B reg.
  11. Everybody interviewed said that he was unhappy with the attention fame brought him. I have to say for me that begs the question why go into acting?
  12. That'l be the coil pack, on for two cyls (ie two coils). They can be unrelyable. Personally i would chuck it and fit a pinto But that's just me!
  13. They are saying prescription drugs, and he may have been depressed.
  14. Thank God you were not at the Louis Vuitton shoot! Claudia and ice cream in the same room....... It was lunch though.
  15. "I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy to hang in the garage next to my Mustang (even if mine isn't black). " How is he going to do that then, as Ford have threatened them with legal action, via Cafe Press, and made Cafe Press stop using the images. All of the pics in the Cafe Press account had been disabled, not just those with a clear Ford blue oval.
  16. What is it with modern car drivers and reversing? BTW you are not supposed to reverse off the drive on to the road, it's in the highway code. Which is what I tell my next door neighbour when she complains she can't see the road when we park legally outside the house with the vans (in an official marked out space half on the pavement). One day she reversed out of her drive and hit one of the vans. I didn't see it, but the bits of the back light were there to see and the light on the car was taped up. I didn't bother saying anything cos it was the back of mk2 transit a luton and the car came off worse (it's a Proton ). Now she has a new car, and is so bad at parking parks it NEXT DOOR BUT ONE so she can just drive on and off the public road!!
  17. How sad. Blokes should pay attention when they are driving. Our Mk2 LWB was run into cos some git was ogling two girls on the other side of the road (my side !). On my birthday......
