im about to start building an engine for the escort and i just found one already done and in my price range saving me time, money and loads of effort!

 

but its in fooking essex! and its collection only

[Durham Fiesta]

have a drive down and get it, you can probably get there in about 4 hours which is nowt. Or get a courier etc to pick it up if the bloke will stick it on a pallet

[antz]

coventry is 3 hours so essex is a tad more

 

ive decided to arrange a courier

 

still hate livving in scarborough though

[Durham Fiesta]

[antz]

A few years ago I found a Prefect with 42000 miles on the clock for a bargain price but it was in Kent. And it needed trailoring back.

 

So I borrowed a car off a director from the company I was at, cos it had a tow bar, hired a trailor, drove down to Kent at 60mph, picked the car up, drove to Kingston-upon-Thames to pick up something else I'd bought off ebay, and drove home at 60mph. All by myself.

 

It took me about 12 hours and I didn't moan once.

 

Just do it Antz.... live a little...

Essex can be done in 4 and a half hours from Whitby where I work.

 

Take some mates, make a road trim of it.

 

If i'm on business I can be there and back before 12 if I need to, the UK is a really small place lol.

whack an egg in the system, it apparently blocks up the leak at least for a while. And I know what you mean about everyting being down south

[Messenjah]

antz im coming from stevenage to leeds on wednesday m8 if its not too far away from me i could pick it up and bring it up to leeds which is ALOT closer to you then essex lol (for some beer tokens to cover the extra diesel )

my friend lives in Woking. she just bought a car from Chesterfield. small problem, she doesn't have a driving licence, not even a provisional...

 

so we made a day trip out of it, caught the train up there and i drove back

 

if you want something bad enough you'll find a way, and not make excuses

 

and then there was the time i was living in Devon and wanted to move to Surrey, 6 weeks after major surgery... still managed to find a flat, put my stuff in storage and move

 

like i said, if you want something bad enough you'll find a way, and not make excuses

Essex 5 mins mate, dont mean I wanna go there thou theres a platform at the top of the QE2 bridge and people from Kent go up there and moon essex only joking were all carrot crunchers down saff!

[surfingturnip]

think he's gettin a courier now

[antz]

cheaper and easier to courier it in the end

 

its 250miles away and would cost me a lot in fuel in a big volvo tank so ill let parcel force do it for me

I used onlinepallet.co.uk to get my new engine delivered. Well recommended.
