Mark,
As a moderator, I think you should get a distinctive car. This is for sale and located in RLBS - too good an opportunity to miss??

Oops - forgot the link!!

Ah, but a moderator should surely live up to the title and buy a moderate, suit all tastes model to avoid causing controversy?
Howe about a Daewoo Matiz or Kia Rio? The latter would also encourage more walking and therefore a higher level of all round fitness.

ROFLMAO! "only" 90,000 miles and no details on the £35k of modifications.
Mark, you have to buy this!
|
Thanks for not putting a health warning on that, I've barfed my breakfast all over my keyboard! Bleeuuurrgggh. I think I'm going to have to lie down in a darkened room and hope I don't see those red and puce splash patterns.

How delightful.
I like the fact that it has no details of even what engine it has in it, coz let's be honest - if you're stupid enough to buy that, then you're stupid enough to not care about little things like the engine.
|
Somehow I think I would get even more grief from you lot if I was driving that than you give me for the Landcruiser.
The over-riding question for me would be "why ?". Assuming he really did spend £35k on it, what on earth was he thinking ?
And *what* could conceivably cost that sort of money on an Escort? I strongly suspect that the engine won't have been touched, other than the rather silly exhaust.
And if he did want to do it, and he was going to spend that sort of money, why on earth start with a 90,000 mile Escort ?

You need to read the article on the front page of the Motoring Telegraph on Saturday.
|
Quoting from memory - "There are so many mods to this car I couldn't fit them all on one page".
That says to me that it isn't only Mark who is interested. Come clean, ND and DD - we need to know.

Well I was at a Ford RS Owners Club meeting at Beaulieu yesterday.....

I am suprised my eyes have not spontaneously combusted just from looking at the picture of the interior!

Can I ask a daft question please? What does RLBS stand for?
I'll get my coat and take cover...
|

Royal Leamington b***** Spa. Ask Mark...

Thank you Phil! That one has been bugging me for some time now. Maybe we need a Backroom FAQ? (or am I too blind to see the existing one?)
|
Since when have I been called Phil? Quite happy to take on that tag though, if you think it suits.

Not sure I'd be so happy to adopt the HF tag though...... :)
|
You're wise not to, Phil - it's a huge cross to bear ;)
CM - I will forgive you, this once.

Now that someone has had the courage to ask what RLBS stands for, what's the 'P' affected by such luminaries as No Dosh and Hugo. Keeping it polite (although I do like those signs that say 'P' and underneath 'Toilets') could it be -
'I drive a Peugeot so watch for bits falling off'
'You can park outside my house'
'Perodua ad Astra'
'Peerless' (is anyone else out there old enough to remember those?)
'I drive a Proton and suffer from malaysia'
No - sorry for insulting you. Prosche drivers all, I'm sure.
Perhaps I'm being boring not using a pseudonym - but then I'm a chartered accountant and a training manager, so boring on both counts....
|
The P means that your profile is viewable by others. I've just changed mine to be non-viewable 'cos I reckoned the first thing you would do is click on my profile!! Try No Dosh instead!
|
Phil - many thanks.
I haven't got a profile - I'm a boring chartered accountant.
