Hey,
Any of you guys going to the ford fair at silverstone? I was just curious because it would be cool to see some of you guys.

just for you that dont know, the event is being held on the 5th august @ silverstone. Ticket entry is around £12, and the gates open at about 9am.

Be on the look out for a flint grey sapphire cosworth, an imperial blue escort cosworth and my brothers Purple V6 mondeo. So make sure your on the lookout for me

Frenchy

Edit: I have'nt got any pics of the cossy's, but i got some of my bro's mondeo, so look out for this car because both of our cossy's will be next to it.

If it was later in the month, I would...cos I hope to be driving then

Good luck and I hope you see a few people

Ye unfortunately, it does have a couple of chips on the front bumper due to the fact its so low. The stones go along the inside of the sideskirts and flick out the back if the roads are shit LOL

turns out i got some pics of my dads escort and sierra cosworth, so be on the lookout for these too.

edit: btw jakg, the mondeo does'nt have any dents or dings, just those couple of stone chips on the bumper

Jakg, if your hairdryer went fast enough, you would know that it is a common occurence to get stone chips on your motor.

He was too scared to say it himself

I was taking the piss in a vain hope to trade a £630 bike (+about £60 worth of parts) for a £lot car :P

You stalking me?!

Unless i find a non-Motorway route (can't go on motorways on a learner license, and a 70 MPH A-Road on an 80....KM/h (stupid speedo!) bike is....interesting!)

What gives you the idea I'm stalking you?

You have nigh on 10,000 posts man...

I know mate, i gotta admit though, £630 for that bike is quite a good deal!

Any more people going to this fair? Theres got to be some

I paid £600 for my BMW

lol niall, and it does 130mph too!

Quote from The General Lee :

i spent £200 insuring it and to ride it need a grand total of one long lesson and a test after it, costing £100 and taking just under a day. Your BMW beat that? :P

Ok, can't beat the 130 MPH, my bike won't even do 130 KP/h! At least, i might get 55 or 60 with a new exhaust, but it costs 13% of what the bike did (£87)

I can see five great dents on the bonnet, look.

And you're going to a car show, part of a car show is attention to detail, so buy a paint work touch up kit and cover up those paint chips.

Twin exhaust... Spoilers... Smoked rear lights... Chicken mesh :clapclap:



Don't mind the Cosworth but they're getting on a bit... They were hot back (way back) in the day

you forgot to mention the modified 3.0 V6 which is pushing out about 350hp we bought out of an unmarked police car that was sold for parts on ebay.

Hmmm...got facts to back the claim up? Dyno sheets? Quarter mile times? If it is indeed a normal 3.0 liter I can only think that forced induction could get those kind of numbers. IIRC, a bog standard 3 liter puts out, what, 160-170 HP?

Truth be known, to me at least, it looks like a "all show, no go" car.


Prove me wrong!

its a 3.0 V6 out of the 2006 ST220 (thats what the police car was) and i dunno if this applys in the US, but in the UK, alot of police cars are slightly modified (engine wise) and when we got it, it was already putting out about 290hp, the standard ST220 engine puts out about 220-230hp. When we got the engine, we re-built it, put a forced induction kit on it, Superchip, uprated exhaust system (manifold, backbox etc.) and many other things. I cant list all the things because obviously, this is'nt my car, it's my brothers so i dont know everything done to it. Were gonna try and get it onto a dyno at the ford fair, but we'll have to take the front bumper off duee to the fact that it will be to low to get on there

Btw, as i said, the 3.0 liter certainly does'nt out out 170hp standard, in truth, the 2.5 litre engine from ford pushes out 170hp

Still doesn't make up for the outside

Quote from Leifde :

Shutup you

Ouch Danny...If it was me, I would of kept the outside totally "Stock", put it on 15" wheel trims, with the badge saying Mondeo 1.6. and laugh at the little wanna-be-ricers as you "burn them off the line"

*boys in a nova*
:eclipseeh
LOL OMGZORZ!! lets burn that shitty 1.6 mondeo.....what the :eye-poppi

He is American, he can't get over the fact in Europe we can get out over 200HP from anything less than a 6.0 V8.

And British police cars are tuned by Pro Drive.

That explains everything to him then! Talking of prodrive, that scooby in my avatar is my brothers other car. Its a 1995 prodrive impreza. Now, its pushing out 400 or so HP, but i dont think thats how they came standard. I think they came with like 300 standard?

Edit, just stumbled across there homepage. Seems like these prodrive imprezas are rare http://www.iwoc.co.uk/prodrive1.html
