What's the fastest you've ever been in an osf....

[russ105e]

Took my old 3.0s Capri off the clock a good few years ago

[GJUK]

Around 90mph on a private track, speedo indicated though so that must be what, 70mph ish.

 

4.1 diff with a 2.0 pinto in my mk1.

[Stiggy]

Put to me by a mate earlier....... 140 as a passenger in a mates 3.1 Capri about 20 years ago. I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy it. Felt a bit shakey!

 

I suppose its all relative though, 120 in an old Anglia would be equally rectum loosening!

 

Did that in a MK2 Transit being pushed by a 3 Litre Capreee.

 

 

And here is the Transit. Neil top left.

 

 

Lotusless should be able to confirm that, I could not see the speedo I was hanging out the passenger window trying to attack another vehicle,this was 30 years ago, it was legal back then.

[lotusless]

That mk2 tranny was the nuts i was a bit of a hooligan back then though.

I did 160mph in dave's hatch cossie in 1986 when it was brand new does that count as it wasn't an "osf" or even old then ?

[Stiggy]

Didn't you do the same in your Red MK2 Escort when he gave you a slight push ?????????????????

 

Hooligan ???? Ask the Alton Towers staff

[lotusless]

Oh and me and my racer friend Dave shead picked up his cossie hatch from mountune in essex after they chipped it up for him,

and the ford company white hatch reg HVW that's been in the books was there too, well i drove that one and Dave drove his and what a fookin mad blast round essex that was for about an hour

 

 

Me looking very young in brand new cossie ! i drove this car more than the owner did.

it was funny pulling up outside the dole office and going in to sign on

I can neither confirm or deny the rumour that i ran over a man in an animal costume

good old days sadly long gone now mate.

[Stiggy]

I still have fond memories, Gatwick a 3am waking up all the sleeping travellers.

 

Tony (Chicken) on the wrong side of the A23 Dual Carriage Way

 

I should really run off a few Tea Stall news DVD's

[lotusless]

What about 3 pot ( coz his car was only ever running on 3 cylinders ) he had a factory black ( ultra rare ) mk1 mex + he overtook one of the others on the hump of the railway bridge at mitcham + almost wrote off a police car coming the other way !!!! as i said long gone times, lot's of funny old people and some mental driving too. And the best bit no-one ever got past me when you think of the spec of my old red mk2 escort it was really nothing special, some of the specs on the cars these days are stupid but does everyone drive them to the limit ?

 

My old mk2 the original crystal palace street racer lol.

[Stiggy]

I remember the day we picked that up.

 

Fook me bladders engine transformed that car.

 

I have video of that at Thamesmead, Steve had it by then.

[72mk1escort]

125 ish with a 1660 xflow bcf2 cam etc and a 4 speed box it makes you go slightly deaf

[kevmk2]

165 mph on the gps in my Escort, doors were shaking

Not going to bother trying to go 175-180mph in it.

Can't believe your car hasn't sold yet Kev! Especially seeing some of the crap that HAS sold for 5k or so less - you get what you pay for

[kevmk2]

Tell me about it!

Had some messers so far, from wanting to fit standard seats and back seats back in and standard wheels back on to full on resprays as it wasn't the colour they like and bidding me down on price as they have to pay for a colour change wtf!

And the best one was they wanted to fit a vinyl roof as that's what Customs came with, err yeah ok mate.

Been offered all sorts of shit cars in part ex also.

you intrested in a swap for a 1.1 nova??

[kevmk2]

Don't you start

Had enough now to be honest

[Escort Mk1 4 Door]

lol sorry mate had to have a joke, cant see why it aint sold.

 

think u need to just drive round hastings, as every time i park my 1.3 4 door up i have people coming up, had 9 ppl offer me £3000 for it

[kevmk2]

Thing is, more people have got that sort of money. Then there's the dreamers that want the big build fast cars for penny's. we all know how much they cost to build. Hence I'm sticking to my guns and waiting for that one person to buy it.

[Andrade]

just over 100mph with the engine at 5000rpm, but roads in malta are short

[shaun1.6ghia]

Not sure but I was off the clock an around where 140 should be. My osf like most is well out but kno I've sat next to our passat around 130
