I just can't justify keeping it and doing all the things to it I'd like. I've got enough projects on the go.
I've already got a Vitesse project, and yet here I am

Dave, that's amazingly generous.

By the time I've bought a shed, a trailer and driven to East Anglia and back I think it'd be a pricey adventure, but that's a great deal for someone with the space.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes

Belting info that, Dusan Sorry if it came across a bit strong, I've learned an awful lot on correct diagnostic approaches over the last 4 years or so and it's one of those where I know that particular car very well and it's quirks (at least the ones from when I owned it!)

Re: Fastback's cars.

eBay and Amazon are now such a minefield for fake spark plugs - it's horrendous. There's some good guides on spotting the signs (the usual stuff like crappy printing on the boxes and poor quality manufacturing) but obviously the fakers get better and the cycle starts again. It's one of those compone...

Re: Back again

Alright Chris, nice to hear from you. It's super quiet around here, but that's not that surprising! 800s have definitely turned into one of the rarer cars around. Mine's been off the road for nearly a year whilst I've worked my way through a couple of soft-top CLKs (a 2.3 supercharged and a 3.2 V6),...
