oh and used to have a 21 Turbo - a true cossie basher 8-)
Thanx for all the replies,you certainly know how to welcome someone in!!!
As for the above comment, this is being strongly objected to on the Passionford website at the moment!!
A couple of the members saw an old episode of 'Used car roadshow' from the Retrocar Show at Santa Pod where Jason 'Whatever his name is' (previous presenter on Top Gear) did a review on a 21 Turbo - Incidently the car used was one of my old ones (a Red Ph1) that I sold to another club member!!
Anyway,he too mentioned the all important phrase 'Cossie Eater'...well to put not too finer point on it,it was like showing a red rag to a bull
If ya fancy a laff,you'll find the link on here!!

After all the probs with the Espace I very nearly decided to sell up everything and buy the Mitsi Evo 6 that I so badly wanted,but after weighing up what i'd spent on all the cars and the engine components for my big BHP motor (hell,the one-off forged piston and liner set from the 'States cost the best part of £1800
) I decided to keep them coz i'd never see my money back and aint about to give it all away for a song!!
Oh and I figured that once the engine's built and the management's fitted and mapped it should be as quick as an Evo,it just won't draw attention to itself!!!
And totally off the subject,I noticed that quite a few of you are from the Northants area...I work down there,so if you see a 'Hanson' 8 wheeler tipper with 'Roger' on the back give me a wave!!!
Cheers for now,
Roj
