Ford America is different to Ford Europe. A Ford Europe engine will out last the body by leaps and bounds. My engine has put down over 100k and so far all I've needed is a new clutch, exhaust, brake pads and clutch ratchet (it is plastic when it should be metal). The body on the other hand. New sills front to rear, the rear arches are gone, the surround to the fuel filler cap is covered in rot, this is the second major welding project I've had to carry out since owning the vehicle and after a quick check on VOSA, it is the 6th project since it rolled off the factory floor.
The first being the mount for the driver side seat belt was excessively corroded. That was only 5 years from the factory floor. The year later the passenger mount went the same way.
Just offer them a bun (as in bread bun, that isn't a typo for bum) and they'll come running.
Zolpidem isn't really a drug, it is just an awesome hangover cure. Go out on a massive bender, then pop a couple.
They are the ones you want to catch though, they are still tight, the fatties are like throwing a hotdog down a hallway. Which is why I lace my sweets with Zolpidem. Works every time.
I use Dairylea, because kids will do anything for Dairylea.
But pre-teens today are getting too easy, they are all so fat now all you need is a "free candy" sign and they swamp your van like a bunch of zombies.
It is actually quite relaxing to do some welding/fabrication and the satisfaction you get from a job well done. It is one of the best feelings imaginable.
Some sheet steel.
Some welding wire.
No doubt I'll have to add a couple of callipers to the list, but hopefully I can free them off with some WD40 and elbow grease.
Because when I have a thing for the Escort Van. Which is why you should never put looks before substance.
Not really a single bad car though is it? Ford have a reputation for making rust buckets since before my parents were children, they are both in their 50's now. Rear wheel arches on Fords are the first place to go. Just because of the lip where they fold the steel round for strength, it'll only take plastic lining or a good waxoil to prevent that, but even new Fords have the same problem.
I'd rather spend the extra £500 a car, which is about what they save in materials, to get a car that lasts.
Ford Europe can suck my balls. The speed at which a Ford rusts is unbelievable. I need to weld up more of my van, which developed in the 12 months since the last MoT where I had to weld up the back end. But this is the last time, if she fails next years MoT for rust reasons or needs more than £200 to put right, she is turning into a baked bean tin.
Although the guy I was talking to said it was the first time ever he has seen rust in this place. Being a van she is leaf sprung and where the leaf mounts in the midsection of the van on both sides, holes have developed. So yet again Vanessa is setting records because this is the 5th time someone has said "wow, I've never seen that happen before" when looking at her.

I have been a fan of Red Wings since I was about 15 and only because I fell asleep watching TV one night woke up and the Stanley Cup was on and their jersey's looked better. But I haven't watched a game since uni and then it was only casual viewing.
Probably the best looking BMW on the road right now.
Just the H does step on BMW toes, but just have a play and see what you think. I didn't like the LFS sticker on my van to start with, now I can't live without them.
Also, add ones of these:
That car would be awesome round here. Nice ride hight, AWD, a hoot to drive, bloody gorgeous. All check boxes ticked.
Just the H looks good, either all badges or just the H. None at all looks weird.
I can't pay attention to people when they talk to me and I'm driving. I can hear noise, but I have no idea what is being said, so will say "yeah, okay, what the hell?" at regular intervals to make it sound as though I know what they are on about. It works well with woman because they don't seem to care how you respond to what they say, you get talked at rather than talked to.
The reasons are obvious, when you have a passenger in the car and you approach a tricky situation, they shut the **** up and let you get on with driving. When you're on the phone they can't see what is going on and keep on talking. Which is why banning the use of phones but allowing hands free is redundant. The distraction is still there.
There are already laws that cover adjusting the heater controls/radio should a bobby spot you doing it and he felt that it has caused your driving to suffer.
I'd never go as far as to say driving one handed in itself is dangerous, but filming your driving means having to watch the road through your phone, since the phone display is slightly delayed, you're slowing down your reaction times.

I am not disagreeing it is scary shit, I'd probably soil my pants if that ever happened to me. I almost filled them after my windscreen got pelted by barn owls.
But when I filmed driving up my drive way, I was in first gear, on tick over going maybe 5-10 mph. And it was the most distracting thing I've ever done. I couldn't imagine even trying to do it at highway speeds. Not to mention the gap she left, rough guess would say safely she needed to be double that distance away from the vehicle in front, which would mean wood would have missed her completely.

So she wanted to record dangerous driving, by pulling out her phone and driving one handed...
Diesels run on compression. You need to make more compression to heat the air so it will ignite the diesel. By upping the fuel you create extra compression before ignition which heats the air even more, so more fuel gets burnt. By advancing timing you have more time to inject more fuel, create more heat and burn more fuel.
Save money on fuel additives, for every tank full of diesel chuck in a few litres of petrol. It does the same job and has the bonus of cleaning your injectors on the way through.
When it comes to diesel, he speaks truth. The numbers I couldn't confirm or deny, but over fuelling a diesel creates heaps more power, but you get massive amounts of unburned fuel too. An easier way is to just turn up the fuel pump rather than buying new injectors.
[edit: The best fuel upgrade is advance timing and up the fuel flow, diesels love compression, which is why they respond so well to a turbo, on average you'll double your power levels over an N/A engine. The extra fuel pushed into the engine creates more compression, that makes more heat so the fuel burns harder.]

I just conquered the Internet. The face at the end reminded me of skinning models in Half-Life.
I did suspect you might of hit one too many ones there.
