    No is the answer Ian , I am going with two cars with Bedfordshire rs owners, we only have 5 or 6 as most cars are not 25 years old.

    Will make a point of popping over and saying hello then 😄

     

    i really think think a lot of the shows (especially Kelsey ones) are going to be quiet this year

  2. So, is anyone actually going? A lot of clubs seem to be very short on numbers for most shows from chatting to each club organiser that I know myself.

     

    i will be going up there in my Sierra but will probably be in the Special Display as our club did not have enough going but have still received a “location” pass.

  3. So weve all had the discussion a thousand times over... and so have I over the years.

    Yes ford didnt make an RST Cabriolet.

     

    HOWEVER..... I found out some news about my late 91 registered se500 that Im currently restoring.

    It Was apparently supplied NEW by FORD under a police/military contract....wait for it...yes, with an RS Turbo engine and box.

     

    If I can get confirmation of this, could this possibly be the only 1 of its kind...? 😮

    If it is original, then the last 7 of the chassis number will match the engine number on the block above the water pump outlet.

     

    If they match, post up a picture. The Turbo technics kits ran a T2 or T2.5 Turbo similar to the Fiesta RST compared to the factory fitted T3

  4. Technically yes.

     

    However, most tracking places are run by monkeys who do not know one end of a measurement from the other so will tell you that it is not adjustable.

     

    To adjust it, you need the appropriate washers as they are the shims to set it up.

     

    To do it correctly takes time.

  5. Are there no more takers for this great classic car show. It's one of the best with a celeb or two hovering around.

    Bookings are showing as only until 1st May in the Events section.

     

    Is it still done through the Club or do you need to book direct with Kelsey now?

  6. The glovebox key was only used on the mk3 as far as I am aware, hence the TX key design.

     

    A lot of people do retrofit the lock though as hey fit the same. I have one in our mk4 cabby.

     

    Any mk3 key should technically work as the barrel only uses a couple of tumblers, the rest are blanks.

  7. Colin, we may be making our own way there now.

     

    Might have to work extra late Saturday so may put back all my plans meaning I may either be leaving later or staying up most of the night and leaving early to have a kip when there in the car park.
