My brother had his Explorer in for a service at Haynes of Maidstone a while back and said that they were there doing work on the old Haynes of Maistone rally car from the 70s Cool eh? Also spotted a guy working on a mk1 escort with his MK2 beside it, in Swanscombe, not anyone here is it?

love to work for a ford dealer with history like haynes

[105Nick]

Yeah, I will when I get my camera set up on my PC - hardly use it being in an office, getting in at 7.15pm dont much want to log on and rather work on the cars the weekend! I will once the anglia's up and running though. I had an interview for Dagenham motors, told them all about my Mk1 and what I wanted to do and they sent me on an assessment day - straight from 6th form - everyone else there were already retailers and traders aged 30-55 Didnt stand much of a chance but I outdid a few of em', until I was asked to convince them to buy a mobile phone. WTF? Unfortunately, they don't care about the car anymore in many cases .
