autofive Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 revenge of the 3 litres...... yesterday i had a conversation with a man who's building a superspeed mk1 escort; dropping a 3 litre essex and manual box into his mk1 and wanting a front bowl sump this morning a man arrived at my house to pick up an essex flywheel for a friend whos restroring a mk2 Cortina Savage (also a 3 litre essex powered screamer) then i notice the guys Mk2 Transit van sat outside. we talk Transits for a while then he announces it runs a 2.9 Cosworth BOA motor with the price of fuel over 6 quid a gallon, it's comforting to know that im not alone in prefering 3 litres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Suddenly not being able to log into my mail.com email address as I'm told my stored password is invalid. Try to reset it, click "answer security question" then to be told I haven't answered it correctly without even being given an input box. Click on "contact us" to get an automated response giving you the same link to reset a password I've just been trying. Click on the "next" button and nothing happens but taking you to the same screen again. So I've found the address so contact the customer service team - "it may take up to 10 business days for your inquiry to be dealt with". So now I have no way of accessing my email That sounds very much like the Post Office.My wife signed up with them and got an email address that has never been accessible despite lots of frustrated contact with the ISP. Abandoned completely now and has a Gmail address and no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 This amused me ... http://www.virginmedia.com/science-natu ... a,highway1 reminded me of the Hamlet cigar advert where the monkeys dismantle a Cresta. I've tried to upload but can't get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Slightly optimistic: http://www.ferrariforfree.com/ No wonder it stopped at £500 for a Saab. I wonder how longer it would've taken him after all the typical failed turn-ups selling the car, etc to actually earn the money to buy a Ferrari!

Louise2cv Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Baby clothes shite, from an era when only a select few top A-list celebrities branched out to have their own designer labels: "Made in Britain" too, not many clothes say that anymore!

BMC Dan Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Some local Asian 'cash trader' (ie ALL UR USED XBOX AND PS3 R BELONG 2 US) type replacing his black private plated Range Rover Sport with one of these, an Infiniti FX. Obviously the 'tracksuited thug' style wasn't enough so he's now attempting the 'American R'n'B singer who's also a self absorbed, wife beating prick' look, although the finance company sticker clearly visible on the boot means INSTANT FAIL.

cobblers Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 For a change, eBay. Put my old MX5 roof on there that I paid thirty quid for, fixed it up but overall it owed me £50 and a weekend. No reserve etc. 45 seconds from the end of the auction it was at £150. Ended for £280 and the bloke collected it earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
