You escorted up yet then dal?

[dalmarshall]

Err. .not....yet!!!

 

[khanlad]

Oh no! I've got one of them on my front too! Not mine, doing it for the mrs

[dalmarshall]

Like go carts lol!!!

It was cheap, it's fun, the kids love it, looking for an engine builder to build a 1293 /1340 or something!

I'd love an n/a yb escort but I don't think I can part with 20k plus for one!!

[colr6]

Fancy admitting you own a mini, wouldn't mind if it had sliding Windows and pudding gear-lever with floor start

[khanlad]

Some cheap mk2 imports on flea bay, stick a zetec or duratec in? Similar hp to a n/a cossie, half the price, probably twice as reliable? You'd be around the 10 k ? Just a bit over?

[dalmarshall]

It was a ....what's the word...spontaneous? purchase!

I was behind a modded one on my way to work last Wednesday and it looked fun....I bought that one Friday!

[colr6]

You could always put a Vauxhall red top on the mini box, serious burn outs then !!

[khanlad]

And it will probably do more than 75?

[dalmarshall]

70 feels like 120 when you're sitting in a rollerskate! !

[khanlad]

That will have the clocks over the steering column? Old centre one, you could be doing any speed between 30 and 90 the way the needle wobbled?

[dalmarshall]

3 clocks over the column.

I need to get the gps app on my phone to see if the speedo reads accurate. As I said, the speedo will read 30 but it feels like I'm doing 45/50

[khanlad]

That's because your arse is 2 inches from the ground!

[Vista]

Is that one of the early 90's Red Hot special editions? I remember the two options being red hot and jet black.

[khanlad]

You taking it up the white horse osf meet?

[dalmarshall]

It's just a mayfair, 998 cc!

My bike has a bigger engine lol!!

[dalmarshall]

I'll take it up the white horse when I've done a few jobs (lowered/10 inch revo's and bigger arches)

[khanlad]

Will the 10's fit with the discs?

[dalmarshall]

No you need 7.5 inch cooper discs/calipers, repro kits are widely available though

I used to enjoy my '68 Cooper S - had a 1400 Avonbar engine, single Weber 45, 95hp at the wheels. Used to pin the speedo needle on the P of MPH at the bottom of the dial on the A3 - happy dayz!
