Was actually looking into the Cumbria show today, due some holls from last year so thinking of taking a long weekend and heading down.
Have to join the AA first though (just incase)

Paul,
Thanks for lending me the engine hoist last summer. I was looking at your story on the cossie and 10/10 for dedication. Todays news is not so good. You may like to see the completed article here and I must drop in and give you a shotty.
Cheers
Nigel

Hi Nige,
Welcome to the Forum M8
No problem with lending you the hoist, its there to be used.
Car looks good and yes feel free to pop in past and let me have a look around it.
Any news on the new baby Hunter yet? not seen steve or heard from him for a few days so thinking something might be happening.
Cheers,

Not heard anything. Whats the performance of the car the way it is (apart from the recent failure)? My Escort Cosworth was a standard small turbo so it was a bit slow to be honest, your car looks like it might be slighly improved! The 22B is about 310 bhp but the most impressive factor is the 8mpg that it seems to average when getting tharashed a bit.

Nige the performance should be around the 300 mark ATM but once i get my new board i will get it rolling roaded to give me a better idea. Building a new engine as we speak to take a reliable 400

The pain is not actually knowing what the problem is, if i did then i would just get on and get it sorted.
Had the thing out last night to the Scrutineering for the Granite and not one sign of smoke anywhere

seems like you might be ok Paul, wasn't smoking when you left it running yesterday either
Oh and we got to the bottom of my problem last night! was going to try it without the thermostat and managed to see in the pump from there, and the impellers was starting to move along the shaft onto the inside of the casing
So then it got totally stripped and hopefully get a new pump today!

I think the Rouse is more suited to being a Taxi with its four doors and its black (cab) colour. Ill get you a "Welcome to Aberdeen" rainbow roof light, oh and a standard beaded seat cover.
"jap wag taxi"

Niki,
Mike is coming down with me.

Send him a PM about the Saff and get a deal done pending inspection
After a discussion tonight with Carolyn i think i might move the escort on in the next couple of months. I just dont seem to like it as much as i liked my silver Saff
