Sorry for not checking, been on the road most of the day.

Right, quickly.

James, Rob. Read the small print. Fast Ford readers

In my book you qualify.

You KNOW, I love my FORDS bit i don't wear blinkers. The Goooon and the Astra are awesome!!

Be a good laugh and good to mix it up a bit

Only thing, if my turbo is'nt ready, i've got neeeeeeee chance

Get booked and i'll see you in the FF area boys. I'd like a passenger ride though, please.


Jimbo, Dave, Shaun. Quality boys, be good to see you all again. Shaping up to be a right laugh.

The other fella's who i've not met, awesome. Ask the Castle Combe staff were the Fast Ford area is and head over. Don't be shy


The Action Day's we've been to at Castle Combe in the past have been a BLAST! The staff have always been faultless. Let's just hope we get some dry weather. If not, hopefully someone will bring a marquee.


Brian, i won't be at the gate dishin' goodie bags out, but i'll have a rummage, i'll burgle a box or two of mag's for the FF area. We've all chipped in and got BBQ's goin' in the past, but that's weather dependant. If all goes well i'll be on track most of the day. My right hand man Jamie should be in attendance helping to cover the event for the mag.

It's shaping up to be a quality day! On my travels today i spoke to some pals. Oddkidd Creations, Torque Of The Devil and MTS Motorsport may have cars in attendance

Oh, and some random welsh fella with a Focus RS who i know.

Some ace banter is on the cards, i seriously can't wait now!


Rock on!

I'm gob smacked....that's like the nicest way Neil's ever described me, without any abuse....I'm gonna go cry.....

Stupid Passionfruit! lol

I had to type my massive reply twice as it spazzed out on me

Fudgey!! You that close with it now!! MINT! See what you can do.

I bought the Puma at weekend Bought the ERST the other month as i was commuting in snowdrifts in the BONUS!!

After using Bonus and ERST a fair bit i thought i'd do better to sort out a Puma that i can use on the track 'n road. Cheap motoring 'n fun....i hope

and Alan's confirmed too since i posted

how many fooking cars you got now then?

you had a big payrise or something lol?

as for the 3dr, it needs all the wiring doing, and finish off the brake plumbing, need some st170 front discs for the rear too. and a battery, and an alternator, and an air filter... but thats about it....!

Hey Fudgey, got some mint Focus RS front discs if your interested...but they're 324mm so you'd have to space the caliper a little

Gimme three months with the car, that's all i ask.

I'm taxing and insuring it tomorrow, i picked up some normal service bits today. Got Saturday to sort the normal stuff, fuel filter etc.

It will go the same way the Bonus did, only this time i'm keepin the interior, heaters, cig lighter etc

Handling will be worked on, make it rev. Cheap fun which i'm confident will be a little underdog round corners. Gimme a chance and you will have to reel of some serious excuses for why a girl's car UTTERLY turned you over

And all done under say 2 grand

Remember, that's a girls car.....in front of you

Yeah, pretty likely that in the 12 minutes between his posts he had gone out and blown up his turbo, pull it apart, diagnosed the fault, then come back online to tell you about it
