hahahaha,

some of you may know i work at a rally car prep place up here in the north west.
they build ford rally cars and all other bits like roll cages and dash flocking.
this is where i got mine done.

anyway.

tomorrow they have performance ford magazine turning up to do an article on the garage etc and there work.
been told to turn up in my car. lol

i keep winding him up saying, i'll have to clean my car as atleast now i'll have the fastest car there, most reliable car there and a clean car for a change.

anyway, i'll let you know if i manage to gate crash there photo's and get my nova in a ford magazine. lol

Haha cool get it done man, they can only want you in your car there for one reason, to sneak in your own handywork as evidence of the mechanical skill of their staff, i.e. theyre competent with any aspect of marque.....

its all good stu, had mine a few months now but as you know me, i aint gentle. so its been given a good work out. hahaha


just got back from the photo shoot, had a few nice cars there.

Does anyone remember the pink escort that max power did, were talking years and years ago. well that was there and is now tucked away in the unit having work done on it now.

snuck my car in the back ground next to a few nice motors, so should have it in the back ground. but its all good.

There are some really sorry looking, badly modified miserable excuses for cars amongst a few nice ones.

Check the wing out on that hihgly polished beauty in the background, reminds me of Bognor Regis Halfords carpark on (so-called) 'race nite'. I honestly hope it has a decent engine under the bonnet!

thats a work in progress.

nice to see you have some good constructive comments to make!

it has custom made wings and the only escort in the country to have a focus dash fitted. he has put a lot of time into making that car and is a nice fella and spoke highly of my car.

so thus in the respects stands.

Fair enough, he might be a nice guy but it looks like a shed and I don't rate that shape/mark of Escort at all in terms of design, dynamics or corrosion. It all seems a waste of time ploughing cash into one. lol

No, my Nova's long gone lol
I was hoping it was going to be a slightly unassuming sleeper of some sort, much the same approach I'm taking with my Audi 80 :)
