Am I that predictable

No apology needed (was only joking), was born in London, lived in Yorkshire for a good while and then moved to the Midlands - so I'll pick and choose when I'm Southern or not, lol

Oh, and it's not Rainbow's old Sapph' ....... you'll have Justin/Rob going on about Trigger's broom

The only things that remain from my old Sapphire are:

Engine, rear brakes, half the suspension dampers, glass, interior (including GReddy gauges) and some of the doors. The rest was completely mullered in the accident. However, it has come back slightly better specced - 355 brakes with same callipers as on my Escort, CTS Quaife T5 gearset, Stack ST8130P and it also has some more aggressive cams in it.

I was hoping that Justin would get it to Brunters with the standard gearing on, as that is my only regret - not having tried a run with this on, as it only lost 1.5bhp from 7k to 7.5k, so I should have tried using the revs rather than trying to gear it up (it was geared for 207mph ).

I do believe Justin wants to find a new home for it, as it scares him too much .
