  1. Yeh, I'd been thinking about that too. The conclusion I came to, was that the apes that buy them wouldn't have noticed THAT !!

    Welcome Curious, What are you currently driving. (just curious)
  4. Yeh, I agree with Plonky. Colours look OK, but stripe design is not right. Also the GT-P wheels don't grab me

    Stupidity

    A few years back I called round to a mates house one night to see what he was up to. He'd just put the carby back together on his father-in-laws TC Cortina, and was about to go for a road test, so he said "jump in". As he shut the bonnet I said to him "Aren't you going to put the air cleaner on? he said "Nah, I only want to see if it is still surging." I said "OK". Went down the road for about 10 mins, (didn't need to go that far to find it was still surging, But we had to finnish our stubbies ) when we saw a yellow flashing on the ground around the front of the car!! You guessed it, she was on fire, it appeared that not only did he not put the air cleaner on, he also didn't tighten the hose clamp on the fuel line and it had slipped off! We oppened the hood and it wasn't too bad, -just a bit of excess fuel burning & a few other plastic bits, so we were looking round for something to quell the flames, (with no luck) when all of a sudden the starter motor wires melted into some other wires and the car starts cranking on its own. That was a bit of a worry, because the mechanical fuel pump started squirting petrol every where!! To cut a long story short, that was the end for the Cortina, she burnt to the ground while we stood there.(finnishing off our stubbies!!!!) :o

  20. Hey Cro, have you got a pollen filter installed? I normally get bad heyfever this time of year, but in the car (with a pollen filter), I don't seem to have much of a problem. The filters seem to work realy well............. :D

  22. It's still going to happen, she just can't decide when she wants to do it ... :holiday: ... I don't care, I'm not the one driving around in a 5-year-old Lanos. Gee Ken, I hope you make her park it in front of the neighbours house!

  24. I personally think the Fiesta looks better than the Focus. I think the smaller proportions suit that shape better. Hey Ken, you were once looking at a Focus for SWMBO. What was your final outcome?
  25. Well?...................Well?...........
