Yes they are all left hand drive. Being in the passenger seat of a RHD Sierra was a really weird experience. It felt like I had to be driving, being in that position, but without pedals and a steering wheel.
The temperare gauge is perfect! I am still really pleased that it now again is how it should be.
Are you coming over to England in 2017 to any shows?
The only other yb i have seen with a big damper on was the Jems 1000bhp one.
Just interested i guess with Rods high rpm's it needs all the help it can get to stop it resonating apart.
Its part of the Vibration system that's unique to this car. Lots of time & development on this & a chunk of my money its taken from aero engines technology. That is the only part that Mark will let me show its really just a special front rattler with mods. If this system works im sure Mark will tell everyone whats been done. It does away with a girdle by stopping the problem not just moving it to a different frequency.

I would like to go to Ford Fair some time, but I haven't gone there yet. Maybe this year, I'll see what happens. At least we have the EFE (European Ford Event) here in Holland, where I go most of the years. But i guess Ford Fair would be a lot better though.

When I went to Classic Ford at Santa Pod earlier in the year there were 2 Ford Sierras from Holland and the owners were staying in the same Hotel as me. Friendly people and they said they go every year.
Would you swap your 3dr for your your old saff back if it was possible Karl ?
Oo that's a good question James lol, 2 years ago yes without question but probably not now tbh, the 3dr is way more useable with it being more sensibly specced. Can I just have both instead?? Lol
Sometimes we overspec and overspend on our cars to the point the enjoyment is taken away.
Would be a perfect pair karl
Yeah totally agree James, i quite like being able to just get the 3dr out and go for a relatively stress free drive lol, whereas when I went out in the sapph I was watching the doormat for the next couple of weeks expecting a speeding fine or something haha.

Was good fun tho 😀
What spec was your saph? Were you running 8 injectors?
Wow that's stunning. What made u get rid of that mate?
Totally awesome Karl, love the look and the spec even more..lol. I can totally relate to the stress of a big spec in comparison to a sensible spec'd cossie as you put it.
Imagine still having the sapp and the 3dr, dreamland ey, would be amazing.
