It's like walking into a new pub, and meeting all the regulars from your old pub!!!
42, come from Bromsgrove just SW of Birmingham (in fact I can see J4 of the M5 from my window) and currently drive this: I've got a FWD shopping-box as well but I guess no-one wants to see that.
Anyway, I'm off for a look round (looking round is easy when you're a big fat Brummie).

Cheers guys.....it's an Oxford, rare taxi-spec (sickproof vinyl seats, bare door trims) on a '71 K-plate, but that won't stop me! About to get some wide steels, front-end drop and satin black (or red oxide or satin blue, not 100% decided yet, but it's not staying that colour, I hate it).
Runs a stock and very healthy 1622 for now, might go for an 1800 MGB lump next year.

Cheers for the kind words guys......will be at the Classic Ford Show at Santa Pod this weekend in my daily (quite possibly the only non-RST/XR Mk4 Escort there, a maroon 1300L 3dr...hahahaha ) on the www.totalford.co.uk stand, so don't forget to pop in for a sweet sherry!!!

I'm going on a Turtlespeed recruitment drive. Let's see if I can get some more of the crew I run with's rides on here. Like this place we're not a club, just a bunch of mates with cars. '57 Hawk, now satin black with blue flake roof. '64 Anglia Estate with 1500GT. I LOVE this car. '59 100E with 1600 pre X-flow on 40's.
