on sunday


on the way to ford fair

at ford fair

on track

and on the way home

and what went wrong

 

Spat water out on track, pissed me off immensly and made me come into pit right away.

Car was fine so beasted it all the way home out of spite.

Good to see you yesterday fella, car looked amazing

 

i didnt - was in the ashtray diseasel and only used a 1/4 tank there and back

 

as long as you showed it hows boss in the end

sent you a text on the way home took ages to get to the m1

see you soon

 

me

 

Aprart from a leaking exhaust manifold when i got home good as gold
seen a 2010 focus rs being towed from the 0-60 with the owner looking rather P****d off

 

There were loads of fords overheating on the way, can't say I'm suprised

Nice couple of blokes that were stopped with the bonnet open of their focus rs that had travelled all the way from switzerland, had a quick chat with them when I was in traffic

 

i heard him on the phone when i walked pased he did not seem very happy. but nither would i be if i had just spent ŁŁŁŁ on a new rs.

 

Me too. TWICE..

1, Decided to spit out the dump valve blanking plug, luckly had a spare.
2, Decided to wash the road just before getting into Silverstone.

To be honest tho not to bad considering the car was still in bits last weekend and new engine not picked up till the weekend before that and i didnt even get it running till half eight sat nite.

Well enjoyed my first FF as a ford owner had always gone in mates cars. Anyone going to Trax?????

I need more road trips to get the mileage up so i can give it a damn good thrashing to what its like with a minty fresh engine.

I didn't break down once!

That was because I was in bed with a migrane

Doh!

 

what happened to the car conor ??

 

run out of fuel on a34 on my way home!

Tony

 

Car ate it's gearbox

 

2 words - FUCKING IDIOT

 

mine never broke down, it was in its garage at home lol

 

saw 2 s1s with the bonnet up.

Capri looked like it was on fire in the traffic.

Various cars driving along with bonnets unlatched

 

i did the trip from Edinburgh and back in my trusty mk4 Escort 2.0 Zetec, was as good as gold. Got a bit hot in the queue but i'd imagine most did

 

lol
i did`nt think iwas goingto make it and i managed to get all the jobs done apart from cambelt and fuel sender unit i had 45 minutes and a halfords trolley jack i chose to do the cambelt and fill her up

i forgot to calculate how much fuel had gone up in five years and put another 20 quid in at the middllton services

1/2 mile from services on the 34 ground to a hault!
could have been worse could have been a mechanicle failure
instead i had a mental one!

Ł70 total fuel used 230 miles! bloody tax stations

Tony

 

Haha Conor i like your USC dont be a dick in the back window!!!

 

my fans werent working on my 406 hdi bangbus, fucking relay was shagged so sat there in traffic saying temp high with all 4 windows down and heater on full bore at 30 degrees. had plenty of cold drinks though. How fucking dear are the burgers in there, devine burger stand burger and chips Ł9.70. robbing bastards

 

what engine?

 

Fook me!!!! Guess they have to make their money from somewhere, don't reckon its cheap to have a burger wagon there for the day!

 

My altenator decided to pack up in the queue on the way in, in my xr3i cab! Quick push sorted it

Apart from that gave it pain there and back never missed a beat!!

 

there was an old sierra in carpark with its fans laying on floor!!!!

not good!

 

Sailed up and back with no problems in my little fiesta rs turbo, good old motor!!

 

Didn't have a problem as wasn't in the cossie. Saw a few nervous owners though with heaters on and windows open, constantly checking the temp gauge

 

my mates fiesta turbo died on way home! he'd been having issues though!

 

was it a red one on the m6, because i saw 1 with the bonnet up, me mate said they even had a bbq goin

 

Was nervous as i do not have a temp gauge, but all was fine.

 

lol had that for over a year now lollll been in 3 diffrent cars.

No problems with the 4i, few little thrashes and done Ł60 of fuel for 287 miles
