Default actually really looking forward to tomorrow

its wierd as I no longer own a ford so it wont be the same joining a convoy of RS's without an RS but Ive just seen a red dutch Escort Cossie go thru town.. Fair play

It'll be nice not having to worry about the water temps in the que tomorrow and havig the luxury of air con.. be a first

So I hope not to see to many RS's with their bonnets up

Have a good day, and if I see ya and I know you, Ill say hello

Don't forget the other paranoid RS knocks/rattles/faults/bits you can get I got towed back in the Escort at some silly time in the morning the other day. Need to change the head gasket once thats done the pile of shits going. Great looking car, but not for me ....

Half the fun of going to these Ford days is the drive up there with the thoughts of "Will I make it? Won't I make it? What''s that noise? What's that smell"
