Nice pic:) - which show was this?

But different strokes etc right? - nothing there that appeals to me I'm afraid
As I get older I realize that you can't please everyone - pissing everybody off is however a piece of cake

That black MK1 is stunning, but slightly ruined by the airbrushing IMO.

roy- the airbrushing is a matter of taste, that i will agree with you on (i do like it myself) but i reckon whats under the bonnet more than makes up for it winkeye

I wont, i hate Fords, people rattle on about them but i have never driven one that didnt feel crap.

Other than an early 1.8 Zetec three door which was a good steer, but lacked everything else.

tasty stuff there, The fords on show aren't the fords that you go out and just buy though are they? That 500hp mk1 will have no leaf springs but coilovers all-round and strengthening plates all around to firm up the chassis. My mates rebuilding and epic mark 2 escort cosworth rebuild and he explained just how much work was involved to transform the car...

...i'm sure they handle much better after a few thousand quids gone into it!
I'll check with the manager

I had photos of the strengthening triangles he welded in all four corners of the engine bay top and bottom - only small things make ALL the difference!

End of the day - you can't make a virgin out of an old b!tch

So why not get one hell of a woman!
