I've been out cruising in style this evening in a Cortina!
'Whos dave' called by to have a look at my cosworth conversion and brought his brown 2.0ltr Ghia along with him. I forgot just how quite these cars are! I'm going to have to make sure my new engine gets a decent exhaust system to keep things nice and civilised inside.
It was a real motivational boot up the back side and I think my 'tina benifitted from it aswell as I managed to get another step closer to the engine running. Unfortunately a leaking fuel pump brought matters to an early finish but the signs are promising.
Anyway, thanks mate for coming over, was good to meet you. (next time I'll try to curb my colourfull language, I'm starting to pick up a few bad habits from the lovely neighbourhood I now live in ) It was also nice to know that you had found my website usefull for both the Cortina content and the Escort content (thanks for helping me push it back into the garage aswell) I think I might have to start a thread asking how many of us Retro-Riders there are in this area. Maybe a pub meet would be in order. In fact I'll do that right now!
Regards,
Smiler.
