I feel for him because his whole career looks like it will now go up in smoke. Its hard to beleive a pro ref putting his reputation and job on the line with a remark like that..... even if he is found innocent the poor bloke will always be tarnished by a minority with this now......

loved the old Fords before all this tamper proof techno stuff on new cars... Give me a set of feeler gauges and a strobe with a few tools and I was in my element when I was a lad ........

Would think one of these would set you back a few grand these days... Found some old footage of Roger Clark driving one in the manx rally ...

some stunning classics there Rake . I wonder what the Escort MK2 RS 1800 twin cam would fetch in that sort of condition. reckon they would be hard to get hold of now mate! I know they was pretty rare years ago ...

was a passenger in a Nissan Skyline GTR a couple of years ago... I was shocked for such a big car how quick it was, Pinned me to the seat virtually through every gear...

This is the stuff I have used in the past. cut it to length with the angle grinder, you'll need a decent 20mm auger bit to cut your holes in the wood frame.... Gapped mine 3" apart across the window, you may need it closer for smaller birds ........ http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CO20GslashPACK.html?source=froogle

nice one mate cheers . another one that I used to love in its day was the Escort MK2 RS1800.........

Must say the mk5's was nice, think they did one called a crusuader with a 2.3 lump under the bonnet? What size engine did the MK1 lotus have in in chid? I would think they would fetch a few bob these days.......

seen this Cortina mk3 on ebay, £6000 and riseing . had one of these in a 2.0, boy do I wish I still had it now..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1972-FORD-CORTINA-MK3-1600GT-2-DOOR-/120995436678?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c2be3d886

Why oh why Man Utd didn't break the bank to buy Gareth Bale is beyond me, what a player!! a real match winner like another welsh wizard Ryan Giggs ..........

Couldn't agree more its getting worst mate with trolls everywhere! the internet can be a world of hurt and bullying for some kids and adults alike.........

Damn shame mate and its happening all over the country to small butchers and the like... used to be a butchers I loved going to for his Porkpies, went their one day and he was shutdown . think the blame rests with alot of these supermarkets taking over these days......

You're making me wish I was a lad again chid , one of the joys with these old fords if you had the know how was the way you could chop and change engines and running gear . I still love to see them in all their glory expecially when somthing special is under the bonnet..........

No idea Cookie . I remember the lotus Cortina which I think was 1600 twincam . cracking days when you could walk outside with a pair of feeler gauges and a strobe and screwdriver and set cars up ourselves, remember spending hours gaping the points and plugs and tweaking around with the mixture, and strobeing the timing, as a lad I couldn't wait to get under the bonnet for a play , these days its all tamperproof which is a shame . don't think kids these days will have half the fun we had when we was lads..... a local lad had a MK1 RS2000 with twin 40's, cherry bomb exhaust and a few ot

Fell of my chair when I saw the value of this. Had a MK1 1974 plate when I first passed my test but mine was a little 1100, bet that would be worth a few quid these days now too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1969-Ford-Lotus-Escort-RARE-/380450221690?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item589499ae7a
