I was gonna say you are a very lucky guy... BUT I'd assume you've worked very hard to get these cars, so i'll say your a very astute (sp?) guy!!

Either way, Good luck to ya matey, your living out many of blokes my age's dream!!

wighthot

Nice to see you got yet another bargain Martin

a word of advice though........................................lock it all away before Ryan catches sight of all the spares

martinrs500labatts

i am not a rich guy,

just work hard and allways have,

had a bit of luck with buying ect,

but i dont smoke or drink and spend all my time/cash on these cars,

my wife great, as see does not even have a garage key and never goes in there!

she does not drive and has no interest in cars at all,

which is fine by me,

the main difference with this one is i have bought it to race and as such am not worried about keeping it original or minty!!!

dream come true for me,

one things for shore my first season i will be taking it easy at the back keeping out of everones way,

Martin, for any ford fan like me you have the most depressing garage... because it's not ours!!!! .. well done and enjoy using the new toy properly and BTW the harvey car is my all time favorite because of it's total originallity, well done and good luck.
one more thing have you got a national racing licence? or are you about to do the course?

Good decision There will be lots of new things about the car to get used to but at least you will have some idea of the engines power delivery and characteristics

martinrs500labatts

porkie mate,

as you say one less thing to think about,

marco mate dust that suit off i need you to show me the race lines!!

got my race licence last year, but i am still a bigginer,

and have no ideas of winners races yet,

i will be at the back and happy to be there for a while at least.


the car will stay white, but i have not yet decided anything about the grahics,

I'll be there...

now no Team Tactics ok

Ryan

fook me cadwell

awesome track for bikes, but for cars.

god damn its a go-kart circuit

martinrs500labatts

the only one i may miss

is the anglesey track as its 340 miles from me!!!


this racing is very exspensive,

cost so far

ARDS £200

MEDICAL £110

BRSCC MEMBERSHIP £145

championship membership £185

and thats without entry fees

before the car turns a wheel,

hope its worth it.

Can't make a few of those dates as I will be in NZ for the Lions, but 90% of em are all good. Just put them in my Diary.

Is that a Typo for the last Double Header ( ) at Brands? should it be 22nd and 23rd?

Ryan

yeah martin i remember doing it a few month ago, fookin skegness

5 fookin hours in the van.

Awesome weekend though

Phil

iTrader: (1)

Porkie, you/Martoon should enter a round or two in your cars I'm sure there is no obligation to run every single round..

martinrs500labatts

looks like a type error,

as all double headers will be sat and sun,

may go to anglesey, all depends on time ect,

martinrs500labatts

you can as far as i am know,

did whot ever rounds you like,

but you still have the exspence of jioning the championship and brscc membership also need a race licence,

this championship uses dunlop do1j road legal slicks,

so any cars has to use these,

Porkie

looked into it last year actually never got around to doing anything about it though. Too lazy then I broke my back... that Kinda put me off for a bit as well

MWF

Jesus if that was my garage I'd want a glass door so I could stare in all the time!

Porkie

Yes, I spoke to the guy who runs the series. There were some strange rules, like not having a brake bias adjuster and it wou did have one then you have to wire it in one position... the other one was that Escorts were allowed WI but Sierra weren't.

17's was the max for Sierras as well but Escorts can have 18's.

I remember some transmission rules as well but the guy said they were short on numbers and so may let people get away with a few things

Just admit it, you don't want to get beaten by real racers XR2's doing 0-60 in 3 seconds

Fozy

Greedy i reckon Seriuously top effort and i'm sure there has been plenty of sweat blood and tears to earn them awesome cars.

Good luck with the racing championship....Very jealous

I don't care if anyone thinks I'm kissing arse here... I am

Martin, that's an awesome garage, make any Ford nut jealous. Very cool

martinrs500labatts

update,

my first full days work on the new car,

not a lot done,

the old owner has never heard of copper slip,

the front wheel nuts came off with the aid of a five feet bar, very tight,

alloy hubs and alloy 90m nuts,

the rear wheel nuts where a different matter,

steel hubs with the same alloy 90m nuts, not a good mix, not been off for atleast five years, and must have been air impackted on,


six hours later i had to cut the blooody things off!

luck for me i had some spares ones,

after a bit of cleaning the new ones are now on,

i love these sierra,

because i grease my ones i dont have this problem normaly,

not bad for my first day
