Love the photos, would love to to blow some of these up for my living room on a canvas.

 

any more?

[Stiggy]

I have a few tucked away, if I can find them I will scan em in.

 

EDIT:

 

I have one here the above pic with my MK1 Escort, this pic was taken very early morning just before leaving for the pod.

 

With a very young Lotusless polishing another Escort in his Desert Boots.

 

 

Infact the picture in my sig was taken on the North bound M1 with the van facing South bound, about 6.30 am on a Sunday, never tow an Escort with an Escort

 

PS Neither myself or Neil (Lotusless) were driving.

Look how quiet that motorway is as well.

 

Love this thread. 5 stars.

Good job it was quiet look at the white line under the trailer, the trailer is completely blocking the middle lane, I just had to take a picture.

[GJUK]

****. Didnt notice that.

[Stiggy]

Yeah it would not start starter motor went home scared of what might happen next, a bit like poor old Ray who was sitting in the back right were my tatty old X Flowed Mk1 slammed in to the side of the van.

 

Still a very nice man stopped his flat bed with a Hi-Ab and dragged us riund and gave us a tow start.

 

I refused to travel back with the other 2 I got a lift back off of a mate.

 

Superb days run all day for a fiver. Outrage when it went up to a tenner

[Stiggy]

He is the next pic.

 

 

Taken directly after being saved.

 

Sorry for the quality printer well scanner but all the same, is playing up.

 

Had to take a picture of the picture with me phone and crop it.

[Stiggy]
