just curios, if your gonna fit an M20 engine into an M3 shell, would you need to change the front crossmember for the engine to bolt on or will it go straight on to the 4 cylinder M3 crossmember?

cos theres seem to be some silly arguement about it on the link above where the video is. :D :D

ongoing problems with my 03 mondeo, the weasel face muppet behind the jump was, IMO winding me up, so he was grabbed by the tie and pulled over the counter.
i then explained to him that i wasnt happy with the service i was receiving.
after our little chat, i was then informed that my future presence on the ford grounds would involve the local constabulary.

plus a little pic of ongoing problem.
