Dont think it has got the correct size of rims fitted - that said all Tagoras were like this and athesetically was probably its biggest failing. This was in part due to the last minute reengineering that peugeot did to the car to rid it of its chrsyler europe based runing gear hence the full rear trailing arm set up from the 504/505 was transpanted lock stock and barrel on to the shell.

Why are all those LWB Transit fire vans coming up for sale now? Did we do a deal with the Krauts and swapped all our Green Goddesses with them?

Heh, they're cheap as chips in Germany. You can pick up mega low mileage (kilometrage?) ones for €1500 or so. Someone did it a few years ago and sold a really nice one for £7k as a 'perfect race team van' and that was it. They're all flooding over here. I was considering buying one last year to tow the Escort back with.Problem is, most are 1.7 V4s so they get blown up long before leaving Germany, they've got a top speed of about 60 mph and they drink like Olly Read.

The German fire brigade had a volunteer section in every village (a bit like the lifeboat principle) and the transits were kitted out as a mini fire engine, designed to get to a fire and make a start whilst the big pumps were on their way from the nearest town. They gave the vans a shelf life of 30 years, so just about all of them have been released into civvy street now.

I don't particularrly care that has modified the Maestro....just the crap attitude to something he was given as a present and the anal praising by his worshipers....do something nice then fineI'm a member of ratlook.co.uk, and while I dont like everything they do. some of the folk put some nice touches into their motors not just rust them outHell, I've modified every motor I've owned bar 2, which both got sold....

Phew at least I'm not the only member on rat look and autoshite. :) I find the people on there friendly and funny and as you say, many of the cars in the 'reader's rides' section are full of nice touches.(Same as here incidently) I'm not a Maestro fan in any way shape of form and quite like some of the stuff done to this one, but then again I drive a 'ratted' Sierra, so I would wouldn't I?
