Sorry but I just don’t get where your company fits I’m 55 years old full no claims on my daily And never had a claim in many many years But every time I’ve tried yourselves for a quote for any of my modded cars you can’t even quote I’ve tried as I’m a loyal RR member But I don’t bother calling you now

Have to share a great experience today whilst working down in Hastings Went to an exhaust specialist in earl street Hastings These people are excellent and very much old school I had taken part of my Ford pipe with me to work hoping to get a straight cut piece for the centre box delete These guys had a pipe and flared the ends for me all done within ten minutes and for a cheap price and with a smile and plenty of banter Worth a visit as they make bespoke systems on site

More prep work on the fiesta van I’m still laughing at the amount of work done when it was painted red…..just a coat of paint absolutely no prep I think! It’s just falling off except for the roof which was painted with raptor

So I booked the weekender as usual but all my pals have booked classic ford , for me personally RR is a far better event due to the diversity So I’m camping from Friday night without either of my kids or any mates I know I’ll no doubt catch up with John the sparky and others but if anyone wants to say hello wander over and say hello to Billy no mates with the silver mk5 escort !!

Escort mk5B 1992 L plate 1.6 ghia 16v Tidy car with polished cosworth wheels and new tyres New exhaust, discs/pads front legs and 40mm lowered springs The body is very tidy but does have primered front wing and lower rear quarter Basically she is solid but has had a welding done new near side sill and inner repaired and a rear chassis leg has been replaced The interior is very good but the rear headliner has been pinned up She’s not the best escort out there but is a honest old car, drives well has full service history and has only done 63,000 miles since new Needs viewing really I’m very fussy so my opinion is a very honest one With the new wheels I want £1500 no less Otherwise I’m negotiable with original ghia alloys fitted These have older tyres Car is based in north kent I will be at the RR weekender so it can be viewed there This car is a cheap way into the scene I value my reputation as many on here who know me will agree I’ve sold many cars here so my description is genuine Overall a tidy car needing more fettling Swaps??? Maybe I like W202 mercs👍 but cash is preferred Mot is until sept this year

So coming home from work on Thursday this week my W211 broke down, rac called , crankshaft sensor has gone down , car transported home by a very unhelpful individual,but that’s another story , the rac received a curse word email this morning So the escort had been fired up and back into action for a few days, I suppose it’ll iron out any faults before the RR weekender

A bit of a change over the last few weeks I’ve now got my old W211 E240 Back after my father in law gave up driving Six years since he bought it from me and it’s still mint That in turn meant the S type had to go unfortunately But I made my neighbours day after I gave it to him I hate selling cars now so as the Mercedes came free I decided to give the jag to my neighbour as he absolutely loved the car The fiesta van I have decided will be going back into full bt spec, grey and its original bt logos Yesterday we spent a few hours stripping off the poor red paint It’s just falling off with a jet wash! Then it will get a good prep and hopefully go off to a pal for the repaint I managed to buy some nos 14” steels last week so i had four new tyres fitted yesterday and fitted mk2 fiesta centre caps on Not strictly original but I think they suit it fine
