Kat.... Thankyou with the compliments about my webpages and my cute car! Yes i'd say that i'm out to Fox everyone :smile:. I have a lot of fun with it at the mo, as ppl looking at my car thinking thats its just a standard XR2i with a 1.6 CVH, and then i give them a run for there money !. hehehe.. I really caught my friend out when i raced him in his saxo VTS off the lights. I didnt mention about the engine change to him until the next day :smile:.

Right.... there are various meeting places in and around Reading.... if you can find the showcase cinema in Winnersh they should be people there. Booked my holiday today.. looks as if the spraying might have to wait as I can't afford it all :sad: but i'm going to the carribean which is all good! Looking forward to seeing you all at Guildford... not long now!! (getting all excited at the prospect of taking her fiesta for everyone to see) Oohhh Paul... definately want to see you and the festa.. Bill you carry on foxing people and Charlie hurry up and get yours done!

Bill, I think it is down to personal choice - I used to have Kent Cams and luved 'em but this car has Piper and they seem good too.

Kat, I should be getting the car back this weekend but then I'm off to Frankfurt for a week (work), maybe meet up early-middle June ?? Ideas ??

Sorry the last post was a little rushed but our server gives you a countdown clock to shutdown and I was at about 15 seconds >:-/

I'll post in the General Discussion and Events sections as soon as I have times, but if you can, keep the afternoon and evening of Saturday 30th June free, mmm-kayyyy?

The Southend thang.... yeah sounds good..let me know more about it.

Can I be a bit of a poser and say it looks nice if it's lighting up shiny or silver things, especially blue neon lighting up a shiny chargecooler or radiator.

I promise we'll be there :Q

Just keep me posted yeh ? - by the way if you do decide to uprate your engine please remember to do the same with the clutch as we think this is the reason why mine went (the clutch exploded and took the gearbox with it). Luckily it shouldn't take more than 6 or 7 days for me to fit a new box and clutch

I went the other way and did the engine first - big mistake - now my car is bl00dy fast but looks do-do :wink:

Hopefully the escort cossy wheels will be on the car this week, gearbox by next week, then all I gotta do is get a non-smashed front bumper :wink:

I think I'll pop up before I get the bodywork sorted just to say 'ello - should only be a couple of weeks
