When I sold mine (back in 2017/8), a fella came over from France and took it. Sold it for £1,300 😭
From me, he was heading north to buy a load of parts to take back with him.
I recall that the clubs for those cars always attracted a few oddballs. A mate of mine used to have a modified Mondeo and the clubs were full of middle-aged men who through all kinds of weird tat at their cars. The Galaxy owners were even weirder :LOL:
The queues to get in and out used to be...
God that Adam C is a melt. He's as annoying as the plebs doing the revving.
It's funny how much Ford Fair has changed. I went a few times in the mid '00s and you never got all the engine revving business but, once the STs came along, it turned into a right chav fest. The last time I went...
It's obviously personal preference ultimately, but you've kind of answered your own question really. It's the fact that you have to move the gear stick and push your leg down that gives you the additional involvement.
S1 LM is absolutely stunning, and far better looking than the T50 and T33. Imagine being in a position where you can commission a run of five supercars from Gordon Murray too...
I had a Klarius exhaust on my old Cup years ago. Weirdly, I had an issue where a baffle collapsed in the mid section. It used to rattle like mad. I replaced it with another one and it was fine after that.
If they were making money so he didn't need to do shady deals with John DeLorean, he'd probably have been fine with it. Not that they're making money currently of course!
Yeah very much sounds like you just left it open on this occasion. Easily done. I left my keys in the ignition overnight once, but thankfully I lived in a village in the arse end of nowhere :ROFLMAO:
Streaming is getting increasingly irritating. There are far too many services and yet, somehow, when you feel like watching a particular film, it's not on any of them. Or it's on Apple TV and to buy a digital copy is more expensive than a DVD would have been.
Yeah they were hardly renowned for their handling prowess. It looks like the five-put sits entirely forward of the front axle line too, which is sure to make it even better.
Interesting that someone has finally done that swap. I remember loads of people asking if it could be done back when the five-pot Focus ST came along, but the consensus was that you'd just have to cut out too much metal for it to work. It's a cool swap, and I bet it goes really well, as it must...
Anyone that fits air ride to a 190E Cosworth should be shot in the face. I don't understand why you'd buy a car known for its handling prowess, and then ruin it with shite suspension. Just buy a base model if you don't care how it drives.
I might do a full thread about it, but I'm at Rallye Vosges Grand Est in France this weekend. Car of the rally? This. It's not a real Group A car I don't think, but it's still stunning.
I reckon it's probably a Chasseur or something. Looks a similar colour to the blue offered on those. Basically one of the run-out models made near the end of production.
If the car is in good condition, I wouldn't worry too much to be honest. If you're going from central-ish UK, it's only a 1,000 mile road trip, so any car in reasonable shape shouldn't struggle with that. Like you say, if you're taking it steady on your laps, you shouldn't do any harm there...
I'm leaning towards rep. Was it on a K-plate? Hard to tell from the picture but, if so, it's probably a rep, as blue wasn't offered on 4x4s. You could get two-wheel drive ones in Crystal Blue, but this looks too dark for that.
Unless it's been painted obviously...
Definitely. I redid all the branding for my channel a few months ago, had what I thought were really clean, good looking thumbnails, but I've had to start putting faces on them (not mine for the most part thankfully) as it does make a real difference.
The need to be clickbait-y is really...
Outside the gym on Tuesday...
Green wouldn't be my first choice but otherwise....wibble. What a thing. Probably the best looking of all the 911s in my view.
That looks lovely. Makes me miss mine. I really would like another one, and probably should before they get too expensive.
As for modifications, 100% change the airbox and map it. They sound great with the right intake modifications. I'd like to drive one with Group N timing to see what it's like.
Reminds me of the Renault 25 my old man had when I passed my test. He put me on the insurance and I thought I was the boss, driving round in a car with a 2.9-litre V6. It wasn't actually very fast, but was quicker than what most 17-year olds were driving at the time. He wanted a Safrane, but...
