been suggested by a few that I should bring the wrecked Desert Storm to Ford fair in it's current poor state before the long resurrection work commences
Not sure myself as it is looking very sad
what do you all think

 

Ummm why would you bother?

 

You should people can see befor and after

 

do a before this year and an after next

simples

plus you can do monthyl updates for the mag and wear a "staff" tshirt

 

and you'd get a free ticket you've always wanted

 

Cracking idea Tony - everyone who anyone knows the car, everyone will want to know what's going on and a pile of free advertising for you and the car.

OK, you've got to trailer it there but so what ? Will have everyone watching the cars progress and you can't buy publicity like that !

 

I think it could work well if backed up with a display board of photos of it at its prime and details of what spec it was and what top speed it did back in the day etc along with a "what it will be" summary of where you hope to end up with it.

Cars are interesting if modified etc, but cars with a bit of a story are far more interesting IMHO

 

Cosworth prefer trailers or AA trucks anyway

 

Gets my vote like I said on the phone yesterday, But chips idea of a display board with pics is a winner so people looking at the car for the first time get its history and why its a important car, then when folk hopefully see it again at 2013s Ford Fair they will all feel part of its restoration and transformation, its all good PR for passionford

 

Should I mention the Divorce and how it caused it's demise roflol
Should I include pics of the evil biatch from hell

 

Pics are a must really !!! PMSL

 

Actually yes, I think that would perfectly sum it up why it should always be cars first and women second, lol

"This car and my wife were not compatible and in a moment of madness it was the car I let go, thankfully thats now been rectified, and the wife is gone and the car is back"

 

Theres loads out there that love that sort of info too

 

Sounds like a plan.

 

+1
far more interesting to see the re-incarnation of a legend than just a build up.

Cracking piece of free advertising an all, esp for those new to the scence who praps dont know TS, yourself, or the car .

As the wise man does say,,Do it, do it, do it, do it,

 

Great idea.

 

Yes do it!! Will do a rebuild thread on here for Snowstorm when we start it this winter, would be good to see them both when they are both done!!

 

put an empty tin on the bonnet to start the collection fund.....

 

What he said^^^

 

Because its where Cossie tuning started for the man in the street. near 180mph 20 years ago was just a dream for the rest of us. When i bought a Cossie this car was Top bollix for Sierra owners, I bought the mag when it was featured. It was 10 years before Gaybird's roundabout leaper so Top Sierra for a long time.

 

lol

 

I think you should change it to "dessert storm" and cover it in hundreds and thousands.

 

Fuck me another ASW thread worse than that lanky get who just got a 1.6 l to go with his green house !!! can you really be arsed to trailor that to ff ? normally you cant be arsed to drag urself there

 

It's a great idea

 

I recall the car at Oxforshire FF way bk then but i didnt realise its performance was so good. Must be quite a feeling to have her back home (the car) where she belongs.

 

My new toy feels like a 1.6

Steve

 

you have the parts to make it feel better big man as you know you want to

 

I took this picture of it back in 1996 at Ford Fair

 

Yes and yes on a dart board, like a fun fair at ford fair

And yep bring the car too

 

Anyone else think it should go back to this?

 

has anyone seen the ex wife? i think pics are needed so we can make our own 'car or wife' decisions

 

I think its a great idea,more so because I didnt know as you had got it back
The collection tin sounds like a plan and would work well with the pictures of the evil one on a dart board.It could be a bit of an earner seeing as it was her that lead to the iconic cars demise,Ł1 for three throws of the arrows,eyes win a prize

Just caught up on the other thread

 

Harsh but fair

 

Well good luck to you alll, I was planning on making the trip down but I'm going away with work so can't make it. Will look forward to seeing the pics.

 

You got divorced? I don't think you've mentioned that before.

 

Can we have a pic of what the car looks now please? The last time I seen a pic was on eBay sitting on some pallets with no running gear!

 

There is photos of it on his other thread, it looks very sorry for itself but hopefully it's in the right hands now

 

I don't think its changed since that pic.

 

can we get back to the topic on hand rather than who is paying for the gazeebo.

another thread derailed pf style

 

Yeah just noticed the other thread, so happy it's back with tony, hope to see it at ford fair
