  1. Thanks. That's what I was hoping! Just waiting to get the mirror covers back now.
  2. Changed the orange for black and added the Cossie wheels.
  3. Cabs been away for some TLC, picking it up tomorrow when the rain is about to start!

  4. Has anyone got any experience of the solar battery mainainers? I'm tempted to get one but wondered if they're any good.

    Looks good, love the colour.
  6. Cab cleaned and covered today.

    Mk6 Cover

    Thanks for the heads up on the cover. With the temperatures dropping I wanted to get it on as soon as I could.

    Mk6 Cover

    Good point. I'll do that. It is better being a tight fit. If it had standard bumpers the cover would tuck under nicely.

    Mk6 Cover

    I finally fitted the cover today after cleaning the car. I looks like the next size up would've been better for me because of the extensions on the front and rear bumpers. I layed a blanket over the hood before fitting the cover. http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w420/dan558/IMG_4457_zps7k7r8fq4.jpg[/img] http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w420/dan558/IMG_4458_zps4mnwklwk.jpg[/img]
  10. Cheers. I'll go for the bigger size I think. Love that colour by the way. I've had an Escort RS Turbo and Focus ST in grey.
  11. Being a newbie how do I go about ordering tickets? For example, if it's me and one other in my car do I order 2 tickets?
  12. A bloke I worked with a couple of years ago told me about this event. I think I'll attend this one.
  13. What size tyres have you got on those Cossie rims please mate? I'll be putting a set on my 97 Cab soon. To match up the original size wheels one of those tyre calculators is telling me I need to fit 215/40/16 tyres. Escort Cosworth tyres are 225/45/16. I'd prefer this size as there's more tyres on the rim.
  14. I will get one, just to stop the missus moaning about her hair!

    Mk6 Cover

    Yes it has! It does say to continually check the tightness of the straps. I'll see once I've fitted it. I've not bothered yet as I'm still like an excited kid so I've been using the car a lot. Once I know it will be parked up for a while I'll put the cover on.
  16. Only owned the car for two weeks and decided to give it some TLC today. Just the basics, oil change plus oil/air/fuel filters and plugs. Got home and the Tonneau cover I bought was waiting for me and it fits fine so a good day with the cab today! After browsing the the forums I think I'll invest in a wind deflector at some point as well. Bring on the sunshine!

    Mk6 Cover

    I took Ian's advice and got one from Halfords for £49.99. Here it is - http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-accessories/car-covers-tarpaulins/halfords-advanced-all-seasons-car-cover-medium I can't tell you how it fits because I haven't fitted it yet but its medium size so hopefully it will be ok.
