Flat Out Retro Driving (my day, with pics)

But they are bronze windows, isn't the spex clear?

clear-ishbut you only notice its clear from the inside, from the outside it looks the same as other (glass) windowsits properly fitted, half the door had to be taken apart to fit it

shh, I just told her it was easy to change....

Well thanks for making the effort scary, more than Tony did!

[scaryoldcortina]

ah, you're welcome, fred.. not like I could leave it outside my house with a blagged window and the key stuck in the ignition anyway ps, anyone who needs to break a window to steal a mk3 escort is a big fat loser. It's also the world's easiest steering lock. How come the scrotes didn't get away with it when Tony had it? I'd have been gone in 60 seconds... (in something else)

The reg on Blache's windows are easy to explain, she's a plate rape victim! I got her on her replacement plate, though I am sure the previous one was a B reg too, the previous owner bought it cos he thought it spelt 'Boston' (it doesn't)

This has bothered me all day! I have more than a feeling that B657 ODD can't be made to spell "Boston" although it comes close to "Best odd" or maybe Bostodd if you mangle the 6 but how the heck can even a total illiterate turn two D's into an N?ps.. I've lost my bloddy phone again

Oh, I see what you did there.

[FredTransit]

I know, it would take a bloody funny font and a lot of squinting to make Boston out of that..... Tony picked her up for me from the previous owner, and that's what the bloke said he wanted the plate for.....B6 - stratigically placed white/yellow stud to make it look like an O5 (S)7 (T)0D - stratigically place yellow/white stud again (N)D - er, N again?

Anyone who can convince themselves that B657ODD will make an accptable 'BOSTON' numberplate clearly has some severe learning difficulties and should probably not be allowed to have a driving licence. IDIOTS!

[Electric Leyland]

Maybe the Boston reason was a ruse. He secretly thought B657ODD was close enough to spell Bastard.

Whatever, I got a cheap Mk3 escort out of it, so can't complain. I saw it in the ebay thread on this very forum BTW.
