Well done on the award lads and lasses. Disappointed i didnt park up with you this year

It did happen. With other things i only got there about 10,pm Cold , frosty, but still the odd sprinkling of old fords

Dead City, tastefully modified to me . Famous old custom built in Romford Thing is, years ago, a lot of the custom cars were seriously radical. The work that went in to them was phenominal. Not to offend anyone, but many cars these days are modified with parts bought from a catalogue In the 70's and 80's there was only deals on wheels or John Brown Wheels who mostly sold wheels, air horns, jack up kits, and spray on window tint ( ask me how i know) Have a look on Rodsnsods to see cars built from scratch.

That is a common problem with old alloy wheels. Cannot be helped, as they have said, air in the casting forms bubbles under the laquer ( even when they are pre heated)

What about a big sign put up at the car park exit that ' any dangerous driving WILL be video'd and sent to police ' Culprits sorted bang to rights.

Love it , great daily if you dont commute far Lots of car for little money Got to have a comfy barge on the fleet

Pete. those convertibles look the nuts. I will have to quiz you about the folding mechanism and edge seals as i gave up making a for for my sierra years ago Whats the story on the two door estate ??? Alan

Excellent conversion Spot on how i like em'

We always camp on Maison Blanch, right next to the track at the end of the porche curves. One of our highlights was getting invited to take part in the drivers parade, but we got lost on route from Saint saturnin and ended up going roung half the route through town an hour before the proper parade

Anyone else go ?? Saw a couple of Mk2 Escorts on the way back to to calais on Mon

progress with chargecoler, wirring and plumbing under the dash

Hi guys, yes i am one of the founder ERIC's, and no it does NOT stand for essex racing is cool, Robin was an ERIC, but i've not seen him for years, might still be Southend way though The convertable was in a passing shot with Clarkson, what a chance that was, a real case of being in the right place at the right time. I only ever went there the once and parked in the public car park. When in there my son was dissapointed with the cars parading around the track, things like avengers with an extra stripe . Ash said get your car in dad, so we did, and as it was our turn to enter the arena, Clarkson took the mike to introduce the next car to the crowd, which happened to be me

Kelvin, have you got a page on your twink on here anywhere ?? If not why not ?

Cheers guys, Here you are Kelvin. do you know the year ??

Escy ron, i'm no expert welder mate. i get by Practice makes perfect, good luck

2008- present Anglia finished and time on my hands thought i would make use of an engine i had bought a few years before. Lotus esprit twin turbo V8 A mate had a Mk 2 Cortina that was not going to get finished, so it was game on !! First though was to get the engine working, as it was broken with lots of bits missing when i got it Took a year to source all the missing parts bolt it together and test run it, before i started on the donor car. steering, front suspension sorted, gearbox in but needs rebuilding, in process of plumbing and wirring at present
