Hence the trying to wind up the owners of a model range very similar to another......etc.


Probly lost a few in the of crash too changed his name loads of times ect so maybe 50,000 posts
As u said loads on other forums too

When u deliver Indian takeaways for a living

I actually think it looks sort of cool in the back there TBH, got that "mad professor" kind of vibe to it.
But you really are missing the point judging it on what it looks like anyway, its just something for the fun of doing it and the fun of driving it, its not meant to be entered in beauty contests.
And when Im driving it I cant see what the headlights look like but can see what they work like, so thats all Im concerned with, lots of country lanes near where I live and trust me these lights a massive improvement in that environment in a car like this!

No mate, not got time for that sort of thing.

Thats weird, havent been made to feel unwelcome on there so far so not sure why you would think I was?
Dont really post on there anyway though as I dont have an escort cosworth.

Keyboard warrior = person threatening violence on the internet isnt it?
Doesnt sound like me TBH

And this quote from Dave has just comfirmed what I always thought.

Then without even a pm vouched member status gone so yes there is a issue as far as l see it.
Major problem, that is. I'd be really annoyed.

Theres others been booted out of www.escortrscosworth.com

you just need to know the right people to find out which PF member got the elbow.

the thing is with that site theres no bitchyness or slagging off and if you don't like something or are in a bad mood theres no argy bargy like here it seems.

I know Chip great lad, he sets out to upset a certain group of people & is a master at it, ive just chuckled my way through this ; BRILLIANT another Chip winner.
You are in the GD section of an internet site rules are : dont bite, dont take it seriously & laugh.

Best get back to Mikes arms or you will need an anger management course you obviously dont 'get it' over here. There are Technical & Resto sections on this Forum use them & you will see that Chip has more Knowledge & is technically streets ahead of almost anyone else on this site.
ANGER WARNING DONT TAKE THE GD SECTION OF THIS FORUM SO SERIOUSLY !!!!

Depends what you mean by any good on track TBH mate, if you mean is it quick down the straights then yes straightline wise it was very quick on the last engine compared to most things (cant comment on the new engine yet as I havent finished the conversion yet), was about 600bhp escos kind of pace basically.

If you mean does it handle well, then its hard to know what to compare it to, as going by the layout the natural thing to compare it to would be something like an elise, which obviouly it falls far short of as its much heavier, higher centre of gravity etc, it does handle in a way thats very good fun though.

Its certainly not the fastest way around a racetrack for the money, my clio im building will be faster round combe im sure and cost far less.

For what I want it for though, which is a combination of being fun on a b road, and being fun on a track, its great in that respect.

Here's the only video of it on track that I have, although its not really representative of the amount of rear end grip it has normally has, as in this video it was after I had damaged one of my trackday rear tyres so it was just on 195 rainsport road tyres which obviously fall way short of the 225 888s I would typically be one at the back.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S8O-Eoaprw

Ive also improved the rear suspension design since then to eliminate the bump steer that you can see introduced on the rear end as im going round gerrards for example.
