  1. Come out the local pub earlier and see a few of the old original minis lined up must of been a meet or something would be nice if we could replicate this with our cabbys when we get the warmer weather esp with a few mk5's as that's what mine is

  2. Yes I know what u mean another thing I get a lot is when I take my jumper of a lot of people seem shocked and say I don't look like a tattoo kind of bloke what exactly does a tattooed person ment to look like lol

  3. Just watching my tattoo hell on the tele thank fully love all my tattoos and have no regrets keep thinking of getting a car / ford tattoo but people keep telling me the same thing lets see what happens next month when I am away for the weekend up the road from my tattooist

  4. I intend doing a few shows namely simply ford ,classic ford Santa pod, ford fair , may be a few others what is peoples general opinion on show plates I was thinking of getting some done with my user name that being skittles 80 are they a yes or a no look forward to hearing your opinions thanx mark

  5. That's all I ever use on mine helps keep the dreaded tin worm at bay it's worked so far just over a year and still rust free works on every thing dead flys tree sap plastics glass love red mk4 s I think they always look the buisness that and the ginger boys one in orange

  6. Very easy I done it last summer includeing traveling to and from doner vehicle and removing from donner vehicle the whole job took 16 hours took my time looking at it looks like it was done by ford not a conversion I have a complete spare kit to do another conversion I ended up double buying as didn't want to let the 1 st person down well worth it I am in Stevenage if u need any help

  7. 13 months ago I fitted a banner battery which was nothing but trouble the supplier tested it and said there was no problem with it been through the whole car fixed a couple of electrical issues it has now come to the point where the battery won't take a charge and I have lost the receipt every where I ring for a flat terminal battery try's to sell me a banner battery and I don't want another one of those so does any one know where I can get a decent make flat terminal battery ie like a Bosch I can't convert to round terminals as it has a electric box of tricks which bolts up with the terminal she is a 1.6 zetec mk 5 and the live for the roof also goes through the terminal thanx mark

  8. Just looked at mine and in 2009 and 2010 mine had a mid life crisis and failed on a lot but since then it has passed every one with no advisorys I took it for its 1st mot in my care last year I now make it my mission to make sure it never fails another should not be to hard as always on top of every thing

  9. How do u remove the strut / strength bar on a mk5 apart from the six nuts it looks like it is being held in place by the turrets only I want to paint it so it matchs the rocker cover which is currently being done also the shout box does not show on home page and when I do select it won't load display my shout it may be due to the fact I have an I pad

  10. I do have some pictures but don't have a clue how to up load them I may be good with cars but not that good with technology I have only just got to grips with my iPad but will defeo be good if we have a stand next year would love to show our car there would be a honour and a privalage

  11. After seeing the Xr owners stand and the fiesta gb club I think it would be good if this club had a stand here it is all under cover so no weather problems, some of the stand marshalls this year have some really good club stand shirts all in a very good show well worth the journey and cost
