@Hans.

Well done boner. My mk1 (nearly 7 years in to the build!) will also have nothing done this year thanks to a new (low paid) job and family commitments. I'm not getting rid though, I'd rather bury it at sea than watch someone finish off my hard work!

2. Mk3 1.3's used the wanky pushrod engine.

Think it had black wheels too? Hope you're ok dude?! Police and Amblulances everywhere, not to mention a 10 mile tail back!

Mad isn't it. A 172/182 in any guise is better at everything than an XR2, XR3, Orion etc. Yet by comparison, is worth f**k all!

I don't particularly like them, they just have sentimental value to me. They were 'the' car back when I was 15-18. But your point about it having a blue oval not automatically making it a cool car is rubbished by the fact they still fetch good money. I appreciate you think they're s**t but the...

The ever increasing value of them says otherwise?

They're calming down now. Some nice ones have fetched £12/1300 lately. I got £1850 for mine last summer and it needed a bit of work. Sound investment though. As are most 80/90's Fords.

Forced induction cars (audi TT, a3 tdi) are all about torque. A 197 has very little torque and needs to have its neck wrung to make it go. Two very different types of car. (I think that's what he's saying)

Have you been drinking?

CS never forgets.

A lifetime of being 'cleaned' at the local Iraqi £5 car wash will destroy calipers. My dad had brand new Merc sport calipers (lush!!) fitted less than a year ago and now they look like the titanic's Anchor.

How do you mean 'ruined it with a decat' ?

Great photo update dick nose. f**king hell.

Shouldn't you be on paternity leave??

Also, what's the padlock/circle thing in the top right? Not the alarm clock. I can figure that bit out.

I do sometimes. My work emails go to my phone so when I'm out I read them, when I'm at my desk I read them on the pooter.

Thank you @Typhoon

Thank you. How do I turn this off?

My battery has died once today and it's nearly gone again now. I've noticed some arrow thing in the top right, is that something turned on that's causing battery drain??

As long as it points down and not at the bumper! And make sure they use stainless steel if your current one is stainless.

Easily.

If you like your current backbox, you're best off getting a new hanger welded to it (so it sits higher) and a stealth type tailpipe.

Got a few pics of it?

We'll be in a grey 5.7, I'll be the bald bloke telling off the 7 year old for trying to get in other people's cars! Lol

Ok I'll check it out. I'll see if myste wants to take his. If he does, me and my boy will tag along. :-)

@wozzaa got any links to this ace cafe meet?

Very nice. :-)

Even the queen can't cry your kind of tears.
