Is Dogging and Fliplop Fetish Monthly published up T'North then?

Cheers Jo and the gang. A pity that I couldn't make it to yesterday's last hurrah due to a combination of Pig Cold, a 40th Birthday and the need to pretend to do some writing up on a Sunday. It's been a pleasure to come to the rounds I have and be so welcomed. I know it's said too often, but I fully intend to be on the srtip a bit more next year... even if I have to come in the Skoda! Catch you all soon, and roll on next year.

Are you in love with 'The Monk', is that it?

He's rubbish at writing, wears flip flops and smells of four year old cabbage you know... shit I'm in trouble, that's pretty heavy competition!

What a wicked show, well done to Si (and that other bloke) for an excellent stand and all the OSF'rs (was 172 the final total?). Some immense cars there... The Cortina enjoyed itself (all apart from when Gareth kept repeating the 'slammed' word and upsetting the high-rider... I like it up in the air like that!) 22.77 seconds @ 57.7 mph I think was the best time. Not sure the 1200 has ever revved anywhere near that before... ... and 4paraJon... bugger, why didn't I remember to bring those seats!!!

Green Alfa? Was just messing about with the settings in Photobucket and thought it looked quite cool... Thanks for the comments. Luckily the tax man wasn't too harsh this year (mainly because I've earned bugger all ), which means I can afford to hang on to the old girl for a bit. Will be nice to have aworking OSF for the season for once. Hoping to try the drag racing challenge out (I'm going for the tortoise school of winning) and will deffo be at Santa Pod for the CF Show. Now all I nee to do is get the right registration for it. DVLA in its wisdom have given it the reg D769 JHY... spot the bloody stupid mistake!!

'Less than ideal' is a bloody understatement... Hope all you guys (and Jamie's camera) have dried out! Nice mag... I recognise a car or four!

OK, and the massive fail sheet contained the following items... Wipers no good One washer squirty no good Handbrake low Slight blow from exhaust Lights pointing the wrong way (DOH!)... So apart from a few body scabs and scars there's zero rust... yay Should be sorted in the morning if the Lucas H4s from a Bedford van in the scrappy are the same size as the Cortina's! Then it's off to play at the DVLA. Jo, what's the slowest time ever recoreded in the OSFDRC? And I think the Alfa looks well cool in green, if only a respray was as easy as photoshop!

New wheels... 1200 Pre-crosser, 71,000 Km, in for MoT in the morning... fingers crossed!

I guess you'll be swapping the engine to a 957cc in yours now Ade... about the only thing you'll be able to insure after your latest run in with PC Plod! Mine was sold on the weekend to an 18 year-old who loved it... and it was made 3 years before he was born, so old skool? Who knows...

PS... you may be a very happy fella soon... I'll leave why up to Mr Charlton to explain...

Oh dear God... Antz, don't ever go changing that little note above your Avtar!

Errr... Have you not got to page 92 and played count the handles yet?

You should feature my Fiesta, 1 elderly owner couple 41,000 from new posh one... v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v and elastic band powered... I'll get me coat... [/img]

I'd like to know too. I stol... I mean bought it off Future Publishing and it sold on ebay to a chap from Gloucester, but I think he sold it soon after. That's the last I heard of the old thing. Was a great car
