theloudboy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 I am still waiting to see this car, i met toby at a wingspan meet and he said he may got her out soon.
MK2Ed Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Lovely motor!!!! Yeah it is. Pics must have been a while ago, Toby looks young there
puddy Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Goes nearly as well as my old scoobie,just not quite so stable round the Gatwick bypass,eh Toby puddy
Toby Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 LOL Thanks everyone Nice pic's Dazza Not so nice ED! Puddy - Yeah I recon those police must have heard us coming from a mile away - or more. I'm not sure Richard likes it in the other seat! What's this nearly crap? It's more for straight lines! It will be back out - hopefully looking even better. The car not me - I am aging badly. Beginning to make little grunty noises when getting out of the arm chair! When did that happen? On a more serious note I've owned it for over 20 years now - I love it. I spent 10 years restoring it and the rest improving it. It was looking a bit sorry for itself so it's having a complete respray as there were micro blister coming all over it. I've built a new garage to keep it dry. As I seem to spend most of my time at work I recon it will be a couple of years before it's back out looking lovely again. Thanks again for the comments and pic's it makes me want to get it back together and wring the life out of it - as Ford intended!
Joe Little Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 I recon it will be a couple of years before it's back out looking lovely again. Thats great news mate, would be slightly embarrassing being beat by a fully trimmed road car!! Joe
James HPE Motorsport Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 Toby you slacker! It's been at least 3 years I reckon since I last see it out!! Why another 2?

Thats great news mate, would be slightly embarrassing being beat by a fully trimmed road car!! Joe You've no worries mate, you'll be in the 11's by the time mines back on the road. I have allowed dome time in my 2 year schedule to come as see yours tearing it up!
Toby Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Toby you slacker! It's been at least 3 years I reckon since I last see it out!! Why another 2? I know mate but you know what it's like, life just flys by. Works good and busy, so no time. Still got the wiring and insulating the garage to finish. To be fair, I've not seen yours out so much either. It looked good in the feature - have you been up to much with it?

I have allowed dome time in my 2 year schedule to come as see yours tearing it up! i hope so mate, im going to have a good crack at it anyway. Just need some more seat time and the axle to stop breaking every run!! Iv got a another cwp thats hopefully of better quality than the last 1, and am going to run 13's in a bit to get the car off the line properly, theres easily another 2 10ths in the 60ft.. Oh and if its still no good you'll have to drive it for me Joe
Toby Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 It's already good, there's not many doing that mph. Once you stop breaking I'm sure you'll get it dialled in and warp speed.
James HPE Motorsport Posted December 25, 2012 Report Posted December 25, 2012 Toby, I might run mine at pod a few times next year on road tyres for a bit of fun but other than that, it's a road car now! I mean it has working lights, windscreen wipers and man, it's even got an alternator! Lol! Will be good to see yours out and about again Toby! We've all been busy but its all about finding time from now on!
