How the hell can you class me as a bufty
Big whoop, you've managed to rebuild yours in 1-2 months, what do you want a medal? I'm not the one who's resealed the entire underside!

Its people's comments like this which really piss me off, my life believe it or not does not revolve around escort cosworths, I have work/personal commitments, I also have a future wife to think about (say future as I'm getting married next year and that's costing more that my car will ever be worth!) so things have to be thought about seriously when you get dicked around.
The ONLY reason its not being sold off now is because for me to receive the full worth financially it would probably take a year with all the bitty parts IE my question about the shell. I love my escort dearly, its one of 2 cars I've only ever wanted, but I love a lot of other things more!
My problems have sweet fa to do with setting goals too high, I have already hinted as to why I'm sick of it all (people who I respect & trust know the reasons why and thankfully they actually agree with me!). How the hell car you say I'm a bufty when it looks like this:
My cars sitting like that because I get dicked around so much, not because I cant be arsed.
I couldn't give a shite what people think of me in all honesty Ade, especially on the web!

I aint looking for sympathy, any hand outs of the like, I merely asked what the shell was worth, suddenly I'm a bufty!
Oh and trust me, the escort was used EVERY weekend come rain, snow(which was the bollocks I'd like to add!!

) and shine! And will be If I dont break.
My biggest battle is justifying its existence when its been sitting static for 5-6 Months through no fault of my own, You can't win a row when you know she's actually right!
