Conservative Party reply Re:-Post 1973 Road Tax
l j shaw replied to RS2000CUSTOM's topic in CHIT CHAT
having read the reply a few times now, the more i see a political statement where everything is said but nothing is agreed and set in stone. Once they get in they do as they wish anyway But what is clear and everyone knows, is that the UK is in more debt than every before, i really carnt see any party at all, putting the rolling system in place and forgoing all that income. What have the other political parties replied ??? -

You may have a £190 road tax bill for your RS2000, im sure they will increase that as wellwould you still be happy at £250 ??? , so have you gained anything, as they will be looking at all aspects of tax, not just the tax free, as the reply they sent you has alot of very grey areas. and leaves alot to be desired. -
Keep the rear arches or go back to standard?
l j shaw replied to Synergy's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
i think that they are the same same as the rear arches on my car mark Yes Dave I think the ones l j shaw is referring to are very much like the ones you have, some people call them early MK1 Forest arches? Yes think they are an early modification, only really seen them fitted to twinks. -

l j shaw replied to Synergy's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
Why not consider them 1/2 arches they did for a Mk1, ( Not the full bubble arches you see on every car) -

l j shaw replied to stevepeanut's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
Lots of times here too.........i just put a sign in the car NOT FORSALE when i park it up, saves them waiting, even had the name your price quote from some, then tell them if i do wish to sell i do have others interested. at good market prices, -
why do u want to fix something that is not broken, as said if this keeps being raised, then they will tax every car again
-

Just cos he has to pluck his unibrow, to make two eyebrows dont make him that way Sorry but i do listen to the radio, Freddy mercury is famous, even susan boyle is famous...........still not even heard of this bloke but will take your word he is a singer
-
who is he, does he come on here, does he or did he work for ford at one point. Just wonder why its on here ??
-
Id say keep your fiesta, its always hard to replace a top spec car, and Escorts do turn up on a regular basis. I do know that XR2 shell is still around (Dave Edmunds) not sure whats going to happen to it now tho.

6 MPG ........not seen a smilie with a big enough grin ...... never driven it with economy in mind.......F*** that, im having too much fun -
Its cheap an easy to do, get a few wizz cans and the cars done, i know the hot-rods did it ages ago to have the un-finished look for the drag strip, but they do make a big effort to do brilliant bulkheads and such

l j shaw replied to mk1fiesta_matt's topic in OLD SKOOL FORD CHAT
Im fine with things as they are, and agree as said before by Andy a, with silver/black plates. I know in Lincoln area they do and have had big clamp downs on this, and if it means a trip to the MOT station because you had the wrong type of plate fitted, you have no complaints. -
But the autograph will be on the bottom of a cheque

Where would you draw the line on whos car would get featured ??? i mean how many cars do you see forsale with "as featured in" as a selling point It would also been seen as promoting one club over another, then every car club would want to get featured, if you search for car clubs, there is absolutely thousands of them, and it would get routine boreing after a week or so. they do mention MG owners club and look at the stick they get, I like the principle of the idea, but id say its more of a Men and Motors channel thing than BBC.

Just like to say.........it was brilliant. but carnt, like to say the new rules made it better, but carnt, would like to say i was really entertained, but carnt. Just like to say ....thank god for remote control for the TV F1 has never been that good, much prefer Banger racing, stock cars, Rallying the list is long.....but F1 is totally useless But on the bright side i did watch the Shameless programme on catch up......get in there Frank leaving her on th bed in that position

Some quality replica cars out there, and very close to the real thing, but some are totally wrong.
