antz Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 feeling a right twat at the moment. my auntie is getting married in a months time and her fiancee used to be into the grass tracking scene big time and is now part of the BDC (british drift championship) and loves his old fords. knows shit loads about them. he came roun d today to ask about using either mine or my dads car as a wedding car for him.....so i got all excited. he looked round my dads and went out for a drive in it. was very impressed. i took mine out the garage and as well as having a cracked exhaust (ive snapped the back box) i had a flat tyre...billiant. open the bonnet and the rocker cover has come loose and sprayed oil all over the engine bay. and then i got a lecture from both of them about how you should never do a engine black cos it hides oil leaks and you never know where the oil goes or starts to trace a leak and it looks shit.....my new engien is gonna be black so i feel a right twat at the moment and im very disheartend cos i was hoping he would pick my car as the one to use for the wedding. oh and i got pissed wet thrugh changing my wheel over
over_head_cam Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 I must say I would have been seriously tempted to tell the pair of them to fook right off. As for the other stuff? Gotta keep an eye on it all (ALL the time )
antz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Posted August 10, 2008 i know he knows his stuff about escorts but i am only 19 and i dont have the expereicene any of them do. my dad used to restore jaguars and my aunties fiancee did grass tracking for years and build his own drift car. i am still learning and i like black engines cos it hides the shit. if i had another colour i would have to clean it adn that goes too far fook it it can stay black and they can use my dads car. mine looks shit anyway
5hane Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 i am still learning and i like black engines cos it hides the shit. if i had another colour i would have to clean it adn that goes too far fook it it can stay black and they can use my dads car. mine looks shit anyway colould u just jet wash the engine bay? we do it at work on mordern car and they come up spotless.. and we cant sa theve been cared for exactly and bugger off.. you know ur car is sweet
antz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Posted August 10, 2008 just had my dad confront me about it all...i told my mother i was annoyed and felt a idiot so she goes and tells my dad. nice going mother
Retro-gone. Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 ah the joys of been a teenager eh antz? on the other hand at least youve got a cool dad whos into cars and not gardening like mine. you only learn from experience, as for the engine colour do it whatever you want, im goin for a yellow block but then again i clean my engine bay as much as i do the rest of the car.
Trevmk3 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 you'll be rate antz mate dont take it to hard, your car is nice and you know it
Retro-gone. Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 hes 19 and got a nice car like that, when i was 19 i had a rotten brush painted vauxhall viva
antz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Posted August 10, 2008 it doesn look nice though. my car looks crap it needs 2 rear aches, spare wheel well, a good old re spray, front seats re trimming and some power!!!! but i just cant afford it.
5hane Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 m8, it looks great . and atleast you have one m8
sab6024 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 m8, it looks great . and atleast you have one m8 Mine looks ropey, but to be honest I couldn't care less what the narrow minded people think about it anymore
antz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Posted August 10, 2008 m8, it looks great . and atleast you have one m8 sometimes i wish i didnt anyway i just feel a bit of a muppet at the moment. iw as hoping he would be impressed cos he ahsnt seen teh car since i bought it nearl 3 years ago....and i just made a right fool of myself
5hane Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 you should be thinking ur self as a muppet thinking ur car dont look good also a tip.. when some ones moaning at u, just lett it pass in one ear and out the other just say 'yes' now and then
surfingturnip Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 your car is awesome end of. Say differently and I will beat you about the head with a wet fish. you claim your arches etc look appauling, theres one mabey two miniscule bubbles in them. The flat tyre was just bad luck, as was the rocker cover. Blame it on that gormless chavvy tw*t with the nova that was poking at it the other day on the seafront. And as far as the exhuast you've already noticed that and are in teh process of getting it sorted, so you can hardly be blamed for that. At least your exhaust doesnt superheat your floorpan
Durham Fiesta Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 the thing is if we were into old fords to impress other people then you'd be permenantly down in the dumps as about 80% of people class them as rusty shitty old cars that are a waste of money. Your car looks great and things can be done over time. I've had my car neck end of 2 year and only driven it about 300 metres
mk3cokebottle Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 matey mate i had a good sniff around your car at the pod over the classic ford weekend , i thought it was smart , not very often you see a used mk2 in that condition ........ if it was a restored show car that didnt get used and was only driven on a sunny day twice a year and polished every sunday then it just defeats the object of owning a osf in my eyes , although you want it minty you also want to use it like an osf should be so pick ya bottom lip up smile , go tighten the rocker cover up and get in it for a blast you will soon come home a happy bunny , like all the others have said over time you will get how you like it cars dont happen over night they are a hobby that can get on tits every so often but you cant help but love em......... p.s im 24 and still dont own a mk2 that i want so count ya self lucky
mk2_escort_chick Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Mate ur car is terracotta-nuff said Its all about the terracotta osf's There's noubt wrong with ur car m8, u've got a sweet lil motor there. I'd love a mk2 escy
Tom Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Stop being so fooking down on it all the time! Its a car, if it can go wrong, it will go wrong. thats life everyone picks holes in their own car, fook i could stand there all day pointing out bits on mine! Get in it, drive it , enjoy it F*ck everyone else
accord83 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Anyway what the hell does the colour of an engine have to do with a wedding car? Your aunt isn't intending on arriving at church riding on the air filter is she? It was just old men ripping it out of the pup, I do it to my lads and they're 26 and 29. It's a dad thing, it keeps them on their toes
Copey Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 dont worry about it ant, not your fault mate!! and your car is sweet as, lot cleaner than mine is!!
antz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Posted August 10, 2008 cheers for the advice people. im having a bad time recently and nothign si goig right. i was hoping my uncle would be impressed with ym car as he has owned many old fords and knows them inside and out...but it didnt work out and i just felt a right twat instead. oh well...shit happens. life goes on
Mr Sam Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 black is best *hands over the rattle can*
bomber1 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 your uncle may know his old fords but he also sounds like a twat you have one of the cleanest escorts out there thats not a trailer queen. im 29 have two osf and not the time or cash to do either so keep ur car and do it over time
Wessie Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 stop feeling sorry for yourself ever 5 minutes antz, you've got a mk2 to play with, you've also got a reliable everyday car - what more do you want ?
