Billabong

New sig for you Spadgeroo

But as per Mike, why would someone go to the bother then sell

SPADGE

The guy i sold it to bought a complete Escos rally car and just wanted the shell for another project so bought this to re-build and use whilst the rally car was getting built but then got bored! This car btw is the fooker who's diff fell on my head whilst i was removing it shattering my cheek bone and i now have to take another out of it

RichardPON

Spadge,

Did you buy that off Bob?

Billabong

OMEN!!!

Maybe wear a boxing head guard this time

Zetec Andy

its come back to finish you off mate, does it have 666 on the reg?

SPADGE

Yes mate

SPADGE

Going to wear my full faced helmet and body armour before i crawl under this fooker again Bill

Stu.H

its a friend of ur 3dr!!!

RichardPON

Thought I recognised some of the bits.

That's got the old fuel pumps and lower dash that were in my car.

I bought my saff shell off Bob too - thoroughly nice fella

AndyRST

As quick as someone builds them up, spadge dis-assembles them

SPADGE

No lower dash mate
Did you run 3 pumps then?
Bob is deffo a top geezer mate

RichardPON

SPADGE

Yep they are deffo the bits mate
What car did you have them in? Your latest saph??

Tony Ryan

I think you'll find that when Richs car was complete ( Bob was its last owner ) that all those Bits in the boot were fitted to it !

SPADGE

Ah i see cheers Tony

RichardPON

Tony is quite correct.

What tasty bits are gonna be up for sale then mate?

SPADGE

Not sure yet mate as i still have to make a decision on my car
I was thinking of sticking this engine in mine and then selling it but i can't decide as yet!
I am sure a lot of the track orientated bits will be up for grabs such as the extinguishers x2 and slicks,gravel tyres etc etc...

Dunccoss

its the mad yellow saph from trax this thing was flying round trax last year

Hi Guys

Yes it was me that sold the shell back to Spadge with the bits I had left over form the GRP A rally car I bought at the end of last year.

RichardPON and Spadge thank you both for your nice comments about me, its a pleasure to exchange projects with decent people. Spadge you don't waste much time! Tony thanks for your note also. I can't believe what a small world it is with a cosworth.

To answer the "why" question that people are asking, ie why did I build most of it and then give up, there is a simple response. I had the parts lying around as they were left over from my escort cosworth project, I intended to sell them in February.

I went on a big snowboarding trip in northern Canada (helicopter boarding all off piste etc) in early February, ran in to a tree and badly broke my upper leg and hip, I have been on crutches etc for 4 months. Over the last 6 weeks I wanted something to take away the boredom whist I was hopping around the house. I saw the shell advertised by Spadge and did the deal to give me something to do with my time.

I am now walking again albeit with a limp and I have gone back to work (5 months off). The engine for my escort project and all the body panels have just been delivered and thus the escort is getting my attention. I had no further need for the sapphire and so I advertised it. It has been in the way the last few days and so I reduced the price and Spadge is the new owner.

Regards
Bob

RichardPON

Bob,

Sorry to hear about the accident!

No doubt you'll be up and about mucking about with the Escort..... how's it coming along? Do you still have the other Escort?

Newts

And to add to the list of previous owners.... Chris King (Mellow) had it when it was white, thought it was shagged, sold it to a mate of Steve Scotts for very little £, it only had a dodgey sensor and flew again Then went to Dunc???
Should call this car Christine, Spadge
Newts

PS - Bob is very cool to buy bits off (got some wheels n slicks off him years back in the RSOC BB days ) Spadge got a bargain, as usual

M.A.D.RST

Is this Bob with the rwd escort cossie (blue and white) track car???

gus

iTrader: (1)

i was standing on the pit wall when you lost it, that was pretty close how you didnt hit the wall i dont know


very lucky

furry

yeap

TwoCossieBob

"M.A.D. RST" and "furry" you are both wrong in your assumptions!

I am the "bob" that some people have been speaking kindly of in this and other posts.

I am "twocossiebob" on this board and "racecarbob" on the RS board.
I have a 4wd escort cossie race car that is blue and white in a similar colour scheme to the car you are thinking about.

Sorry to put things right, but when nice things were being said about me I just could not sit back and let you think it was someone else.

Thanks
Bob

SPADGE

Hi Bob
Its gone again mate waved goodbye to the shell for the 2nd time this evening I wonder if i'll see it again this time
Cheers Spadge.....
