I'm not surprised......

Got to love the way he's painted the steelies white

I can't work out whether that car has been painted with a toothbrush or if it's just the pics.....

What more new plugs, new gearbox a week or so ago etc

Can't believe your doing even less work, i didn't think that was possible for a guard.

on a 3 day week now for most weeks in the 22 week link

means bags of overtime and weeky earnings can be in excess of £600 a week before tax should i put the overtime in


Gearbox was just the cradle that had failed, but threw a new box in for the sake of it, which is now sounding like a straight cut when powering up in 1st

plugs - well, lol, my engine may have a fettish for them

Fook me that's a while back. He'll probably never sell it then!

I agree with Gracie on that Escort, it's not a lost cause. Bodywork looks clean and good etc, it's just that in its current guise, it's absolutely awful!

Wish i only had a 3 day week

You need all that overtime to pay for the taxi good job you can get it.

What sort of MPG do you get with the closed loop ?

getting about 24 to 28mpg round town, and then on a run, can see around 30 to 35 depending on how i drive

averaged 26mpg on the nurgurgring trip in september, and that included some rather naughty driving


and 3 day weeks rock

and overtime on new years day too - tripple time at sunday rate - thats paying for the fuel for germany in april
