Some pics i took in the summer, thought I should upload them, there have been some subtle changes, the eagle eyed amongst you may notice






















And this week a couple of new bits n pieces...

New Tyres, oil and filter, couple of new ABS sensors, new water temp sender unit, couple of new Samcos and some more proper hose clips..

Yep- that will have been me mate - As for the little close in footscray way - yeah, thats my brother - he's just bought a house there and i'm there quite often helping out, so chances are you may see the car about a bit more!

And Paul - there is going to be some "minor" progress on the cossie after x-mas

My mum lives next door......

I was round there the other day the convo went a little like this

Mum; "there is a young couple moved in next door"

Me; "oh right......"

mum; "yeah the other day there was a car just like yours on the drive, exactly like yours it was big spoiler and everything"

me; (thinking she MUST be mistaken, as she has only ever seen my car 2 or 3 times)" Oh really... You sure?"

mum; "yeah definitely... had Escort Cosworth written on the back"

Me; (still think she is mistaken and the writing was big vinyl letters on a chavved up 1.3, but thought I would humour her) "Oh right what colour was it? ... Blue?"

Mum; "yeah Blue"... "exactly like yours, they got a Rover too... The bloke with the Cosworth dont live there though just visits"

Me; (still think she is mistaken) "Oh right .... small world ay, one of the rarest cars around and two turn up in the very same close"



................ I'll be sure to let her know she was right .. what are the chances of that!!

Well its been a while!!!

Bought this gauge over a year ago now!! Fitted it earlier this year.









Also bought some new pads from Mike R this time last year and STILL havent got round to fitting them!!





I think I have managed to do about 700 miles so far this year

The rolling road pics below are from the APT rolling road day back in April.. IIRC she made 352BHP which I have to say I was chuffed to bits with...

Anyway... I shall get some pics sorted of the guage in car for you all soon
