Default Lean mean, tyre smoking machine/with homo pipe

Gave her a good clean and polish and thought I better take some pics, just to prove she is still alive!









Gotta be worth an extra 50bhp?






She sure does stop now baby!




Is this gay?


Well twiddle my boost nob!


She might be old on her passport, but the heart is still young


Anyone for a picnic?


All with the help of old uncle Tony!!!


Just gotta get my ignition amplifier and she's ready for some more boost and the rolling road!!!

I have to say, she looks awesome all polished up now!

That exhaust aint goning anywhere!!! I'm hoping that the BBR Touring Car pipe alone will be worth more than the 500 is in a few years time!!!

There are a set of those pipes for sale on ebay.

David Brodie told me once that he strapped Frank Williams into that car and took him for a blast when Adrian Newey owned it and was still with Williams, and frightened the life out of him

The exhaust is staying!!!

Y2K_RS,
I had Adrian Newey on the log book before I sent it off, as the previous owner to the guy that had it before me (kept photocopy). But never knew that Frank Williams had a passenger ride in it..... ooooooo some nice history. I will have to get in touch with BBR and see if I can get anything to shove in the history file.


RichW,
Cheeky foooker!!!

I havent had one single cossie or rst were the digits have all lined up perfectly. Forget the journey miles as I obviously didnt push the tit in far enough when I reset it, before some bright spark trys to point it out!!

When Turbosystems rebuilt the engine, Tony did say though that the engine was in varifiable condition (along with the condition of the rest of the car) to backup the mileage on the clock (as you can never be too careful with things).

My escorts never did, and I used to wince when the various buying guides say "this probably means the cars been clocked"

They just didnt know about shonkey Ford quality Im not saying yours is of course.

But you still a bufty, so that makes you :gayflag:

SaphyCozzie-Adz,

Hi mate, yes that's right. The guy that owned it before was a collector and had several high valued cossies and this was one of them. He then sold them all off, one by one, to make room for other different cars............ what it must be like to have that kind of money! The only mileage the cars ever did was down to the MOT station!

Saphycozzie,

I did think I had seen your car down there!! D Sounds like you have gone the same route as me then regarding the TS work! I think John had nearly all his cozzies down to BBR for the overhaul and then up to TS to have them all rebuilt again! lol .... unfortunately mine had slight det on the BBR engine, so John kindly paid Tony £5k for a total rebuild, before I lashed out another £6+k at TS on it to get it to the spec it is now!!

Sunny,
