I was on the hard shoulder of the M40 today using cable ties to re-secure my indicator after the bracket snapped and it fell out and started flapping around on the wire. I was cursing the bloody thing but one fixed, within 5 mins of driving again I was back in love with it. Damn these old Fords.

As said in title, why the fudge do we love our old Fords?
10weeks of ownership of my 89 rsturbo, I'v haad to stop on the side of the road, because of the car.
First day, fuel relay switch when!week of the road waiting on the part.
Second time, fuel gague packs up and sticks at 1/4 so i run out of fuel, not knowing how rsts are on fuel! yes TIT!
Third time had to stop on the m40 cos the nearside hub nut thought it be funny and undo its self! wicked! No tools with me, rainning and pushing it on time for a wedding, thanks to a very wicked AA man who help me out and im not with the AA, and it was free!
Fourth time boost pipe out of the turbo popped off after a good 30miles of early sunday morning driving, had to sit on the side of the road for an hour wainting for thing to be cool enough to touch! Dont you just love watching everyone smiling as they drive by!
Now on to the last 7 days!
failed mot on friday, on nearside TCA, only thing not to bad for years old, so popped off got a new one form my local parts place, when to fit it next day foud out i was the wrong one, now i got the car sitting on axle stand late on Sat, cant do anything till monday now! Ordered one monday eveing, pick the replacment up tuesday night, when straight home to fit it, found out its a bit more of a job for just one, well my skill level, now what the fuck am i going to do at 9 at night with the mot rebooked fot the next day!Fuck it, J and bed!
Wed after work, ring the lad doing my mot and explain, and he offers to come over on his way back home. Wicked a good thing!
anyway we fit it and it re-mot-ed the next day.
This mornig as it a nice day i took her to work with me, getting out of my drive i smack the exh on the floor cos the tit over the road thinking its funny to cover half out drive on his side of the road, narrow street. now its got a lil rattel! Than after picking up my yummy grease bap, nearly at work i hear a lil bang/snap, looking in the rear view thinking a stone or something had flick up and hit the car, but could see anything big enough to make that noise, fso forgot bout it, driving home from work my speedo has stopped working, guess the noise was not that the cable and snap and smacked the underside.
now got to drive the the GFs tonight on a t route that has atleast 5 speet cams, where the satnav, oh yeah her house!
I'm Loving Ford at the mo!
