Default Hello to everyone that knows me...

...and also to those I will no doubt soon get to know!

Hi Folks,

Its been a while since I registered here and have been talked into getting back into the site by our old friend Paul at NY RS Spares.

SO here I am saying hello and asking who is out here in Passion Ford world that knows me. Also hi to any new folks that I hope to meet up with over the coming years events.

Also forgot to get the lads names that were at Pauls today getting the replcement turbo. Alright fellas!

So, who is who then?

CheeRS all

Dave...

Cheers folks!

If you have ever seen a Mk1 RS1600 BDA in black then you will have probably seen me. There is only one...

Thanks for the welcome backs and hope to poke me head in here more often now the Mk2 is back on the front burner!

Adam, I am back in blighty now mate. Missing Nz like! Got some room in me garage now so Cossie bits sale to come soon me reckons.

Carl, I am going nowhere near any of your sinks matey!

Steve, car made it sweet mate, big thanks to Rob! Spent most of today at Pauls myself. Cant wait to get the Mk2 finally on the road!

One more for the collection...



Cheers to all for the welcomes!

hello Big man!
long time no see! I remember pickin you up in aberdeen and giving you a lift to your mates. Was it shetland or somewhere you worked? Now was that my RST or 3door?

Trying to remember what cars you owned...you sold the green shed to Dave E, did you have a black 500? and did you own the mk2 xpack that Fraz owns now? I could be wrong...

Howdy Dave,

It's Ollie here from the RSOC in New Zealand.
It's a shame I didn't get a chance to meet you or any of your lovely cars whilst you were living down here in New Zealand mate.
Don't be a stranger to the www.fordrsoc.org.nz/phpBB/index.php mate, things are awefully quiet on the forums as per usual.

Take care, and give us an update down here on the rsoc forums mate
