  1. Then 5 minutes later a squall came in and it was pishing down
  2. Just remember, age is no barrier. How old is lundy

  4. had txt from flat4, she is at the gate and flight is on time
  5. Chodspeed snugglebum xx
  6. Ford's as a rule were and are shite out of the factory,slow, poorly built and unreliable. To make any Ford decent needs a rebuild with proper parts. The zetec and cvh engines were just crap, the cossie was underpowered and as for modern eco lumps... Just dont

  8. Duck me, sky diver each?? I bagged a load of mint but unboxed efe buses from my local bert for only 4 quid a piece the other day. Will put some pics up after work
  9. God there is some good people on here. My day job is support with disabilities and the rule book gets bent. What Nick and his tame mechanic are doing has brought tears in my eyes. Aye dez is a good bloke, aye he does mention invacars now and again. But duck me, what a top crew this forum is. Respect
  10. Admit it, both rev and your cobra are made by ac and there is going to be a drag race at crail, rev gets to start at the 1/5 of a mile board
  11. I'm confused, thought that belonged to lbf and he lives in that london, yet you have just driven from Aberdeen to pick it up. Got a mate to do the resto
  12. Can you not get a set of stainless pistons and new seals. Not a big job to scrub bores,hone and rebuild

  14. Irvine built Volvo f10 tractor unit with sleeper cab
  15. C'mon warren, you must have some tales about pissed female Scousers from the last week
  16. Tbh the structure of the car wouldn't have been that bad, parked on tarmac, air not that salty, not like it was dumped in a field. So yeah possibly bangered. Really sad story, but anyone who works in social care knows, you can offer all the support but the person has to want to accept it
  17. Could it be that the reg and vin are now on a imported shell from say South Africa, happens with escorts and is classed as a heavy overhaul
  18. That is just so sad, I know a person has to be willing to accept support and ultimately it's their choice. To me there is living rough and barely surviving. Shows how some people can go into autopilot and just exist
  19. That isn't the mega miles from the taxi fred, is there no skodas or mondeos on Merseyside for cabbies
  20. Ford cargo, btw weather in Scotland more shite than usual today
