You can't blame Kenny now everything wrong in London is now the fault of Boris. He's banning drinking on the tube too. Political correctness gone mad, etc...

Got a copy of The Sun today (Thursday 8th May)? Have a look on page 21... very arty photo of Gazza outside The Priory with his copy of Retro Ford!

Reckon it was third gear all the way too! Questionable driving skills there... The owner is in the crowd standing in the background - the guy filming was one of the other competitors. (They started filming them because the team were trying to pull donuts and one of them bounced over a dip and various bits and pieces fell off the bottom of the car!)

I was on the Scumball 3000 rally last weekend - these guys in an XR4x4i were dicking about on the campsite at the Nurburgring and one of them did this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y1UCT1A8mA Slowest accident ever! (Wrote it off, meant they couldn't go out on the 'Ring or continue with the rally...)

It was indeed... it was my first proper OSF too. Lot of memories.

Aww. That does make me a little unhappy. Should maybe have kept it!

wolfman's search for his mkII has inspired me to ask... I don't suppose anyone knows the whereabouts of my old 2.8i? Sold it a few years ago when it looked like this: Quite interested to know how the old girl's getting on!

Yeah, I like it. And they're honest down-to-earth guys - I chatted to Will about his V8 Capri at Goodwood last year, he was really enthusiastic! Incidentally, if you have seen the latest issue... see the mk2 Golf on p.38? I did a track day at Silverstone last year, that Golf was a few garages down from us and making the Ferraris look ridiculous on track...

The latest Practical Performance Car mag just dropped onto my desk - it has a feature on 'tuning through the ages' - car of choice for the seventies? Mk1 Capri with a Rover V8, whip aerials and window louvres. For the eighties? A very tasty mk2 Escort... well worth a gander.

It's making me paranoid. There was an Irish guy with a ponytail standing near my garage on his mobile earlier on. Could have been anyone, to be honest. But I couldn't leave until he'd left...

This is just getting ridiculous.

Just picked up a crossflow from Escort-Tec - it'll be off to Morleys on Monday!

Yeah, I know...! It only had about 2k on the clock and looked brand new though, was quite weird to see one that hadn't been barried into submission...

They're hosted on Retards Club - maybe your access is blocked or something?

d'you loike dags?

...and yet more.

...and more.

Some more.

Just going through my old photos from the last few years of the Goodwood FOS, plus various Autosport shows, MPH shows, Goodwood Revival etc, and dug out the OSF pics for you... enjoy. (I didn't take this one...) (...or this one)

So beautiful.

Classic Ford, December 2004 issue, pages 64-67 ...also, somewhat bizarrely, it was FHM's 'most chav car' 2005 Oh, and here's when the white mkIII was in Performance Ford (obviously the RS2000's a lot cooler!):

First one was featured in CF... Yeah, there's a few dodgy cars in there too. Sorry.

Suddenly the fact that the neighbours always park in front of my garage doesn't seem so irritating...

That is liquid awesome.

Some other blue ovals that I've owned over the years... (It's a mkII Capri 3.0 Ghia underneath!)
