Wilmot, Landgraaf is a place in Holland where the European Ford meeting is, i think it's the first weekend of september. There are visitors from holland, Belgium, Germany, UK, Suisse,...
There are also sprints and other action on a small runway.

My mate Erwin knows a good paint sprayer. He had his and his girlfriend 3dr done and it's awesome. I think he comes on here and his user name is cossie3dr but i'm not sure of this.

Whilst my car wes parked outside my house, a girl on a pushbike...( Pedal biker pedal)..she cought her pedal in the R/H indicator and went up over the bonnet, putting her elbow through the R/H bonnet vent and scratching the bonnet about 30 cm.......AND she was unhurt.....Cant work out how the Hell she did it.... or how fast she was going to achieve such a feat.......

Erwin's nickname is versluis

Like Bart said: both Erwin's and his girlfriends cars look minty mint.

Another friend of ours had his Aubergine EsCos resprayed at Vanelderen and that one is really really good aswell imo.
As you may have noticed a Cossie is not "that" () known in Belgium but this guy saw his EsCos and said "Oh that's quite rare. Don't see an Aubergine EsCos that often.". Quite a surprise
I'm having some bits of our red one resprayed and I'm deffo going to see him for a quote

Landgraaf is a graet idea, but I think it would be a good idea try and get together for drink and a chat sooner, maybe in a Pub/Cafe somewhere in between all of us....Dont mind where.. and when...Maybe one evening after work............???????.. Im going to Diepenbeek tomorrow to talk to a man about a Gas Conversion.....

David from Camcar is a former colleague of Jo @ Ford in Lommel and really knows his business

We're always in for a drink and a chat

Jo just missed you.
He went to pick up our wheels and stopped by @ Camcar but you'd just left.
Next time

Wilmot,

Just looked at the other thread lpg, and saw your reply about the damage to the car,
shame, sod's law, if it had been a old banger you could leave it on a bomb site and it would be safe, after all the work gone into it,, time and effort, and you have only just started to get some use out of it, i had a good look at it at alan's one day just after it had come back from msd,
NICE bit of kit, i also liked the wheels when you see it in the flesh goes well with the grey.

I recently did some work on alan's fiesta 4/4 cosworth, he had rebuilt the engine with tudor, but it kept popping and banging, would not start, so tudor knows what i'm like with cossies
and said let Dave have a look at it, cut a long story short its running (quite a few problems that stopped it running)

Regards Dave R.
