Guest Steve Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Guys I have had possibly the worst/best weekend of my life, my MOT was due just before Ford fair so i thought i would get it in early to resolve any issues,As he had sailed through last years MOT i was not worried at all and thought it would just be a easy job. How wrong was i half way through the test i saw the guy underneath my pride and joy poking it and shaking his head, Heshouted me over and told me it was pointless continuing and i could not drive the car again as it was dangerous. The cahsis had snapped in 2 places and the car was only held together by the block and panels see the first picture GUTTEDany of you that have met me know i loved that car even with its imperfections So what to do next ? ford fair only 2 weeks away and my cab was dead and i was devastated. so to cheer me up i went and bought a new RS Turbo cab Tennis edition that was only 30 mins away so billy died at 9.20 am and at 4 pm the same day i was driving home with a huge smile on my face in my new Turbo cab see pics. Just had a full respray not too long ago and i spend ages underneath it looking for any possible chance that the same could happen on this one but it is solid underneath. So here are a few pics in rememberence of Billy and welcome the yet to be named Turbo to the club RIP Billy And here is the new Turbo cab obviously i had to take it to bits and put it back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilbear Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Skippy sends his condolences Steve, Billy was his mate and he was very shocked and upset when he heard the news!. Glad that you discovered it before the ford fair show as that could have been awful if you had gone round the track with him in that condition. I'm pleased you have found another and no doubt you will be hammering him around the Silverstone track now! ha! I shall have to think of some names for him! ha! Look forward to seeing him at the show. Thanks Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mejojo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 So sad to hear the terrible news. Poor Billy. So near ford fair. But valiantly he shed his pieces to your new and very lovely noble stead.
