That's the one, that rear seat is still in it but only just. The rolling road day sounds good but my Austin only rolls when I push it, and my FTO probably isn't consider retro quite yet.

I used some special waterproofing paint on my garage roof that stuck like s##t to a blanket, it dries to a rubbery finish.It might do the job and I brought it at B&Q so its cheep.

Or is there life out there in deepest darkest Wiltshire.

As a spectator I fort it was spot on,good as it is to see the cars on display its even better to see them flying around the track.I would love to have a go this year in me FTO, not very retro I know but my Austin A30 is a long way off from being finished.

Very nice mate,I had a C-reg 628I in that funny shade of orange that BMW did. It had amazing handling and I used to do a round trip of 60 miles a day to and from work. I even drove it to Holland once with a Capri club.

The other night I managed to hit the worlds biggest pothole with my Mitsubishi FTO,the result was two bent rims. At the moment I am struggling to find any FTO 16x6.5 wheels that aren't over priced and in need of a total refurbish.Anybody knows of some for sale or of some non-original wheels The PCD on the FTO is 114.3mm. Thanks ;D

I have also had some fun ,and it always seemed to happen with fords. First my mk1 escort 2.1 (180 bhp) throttle pedal jammed on when pulling away at a junkshion ,I kicked the pedal until it came off but the engine sounded like a beetle.Luckily it was just a rocker that broke and not a piston. Next on the first day of owning my mk3 capri the brake's failed going down a steep hill . A Granada that used to spin me around at a drop of a hat,that turned out to be caused by a large hole in the fillernek,strange it never leek ed when i filled it up at the pumps. Then to top it of I brought a XR4i fitted with a auto box and a RS500 limited slip back end, and the night i brought it,it snowed and I had never driven in snow before now that was fun.
PS. I hope this makes sense but I'm not good with computers and I'm dyslexic.
