What i've been upto since
Since UKGPF went down last, the cars are still the same. But some stuffs changed:
I cant remember what was what last time, so heres how they roll now:
The Sierra:
Still going like a good un, mpg excellent, but since i stopped wasting money on peds, the cars had some love, Custom Exhaust built by John Ashley himself, Viper 560xv alarm/immob, Just had a full set of yoko road tyres, full set of Avon snow tyres on spare rims, Saff coss interior, few other bits n bobs. Just now waiting til spring when i hope to get the bodywork sorted finally
Dressed as a minicab for FSOC national day 2009
Somehow scored second place
and here we were on holiday to the south coast in august, 600 miles, one week, 51mpg
Some vids just to show how obscene my exhaust is

Re: What i've been upto since
The Fiesta, some of u might remember it as the stripped out go-kart with the Ferriday 1629cc x-flow with a habbit of spinning up the wheels in all 4 gears?
well then some of u might remember how i used to bitch and moan about it for a number of reasons, i got fed up of the car sitting doing nothing! Waste of time and money! I knew i'd lose money ripping the engine out and selling it, but i'd lose more money if it was sat in the garage doing nothing, So the decision was made:
Yup 1117cc Valencia power, which also means better MPG and cheaper tax/insurace! Since it was put in last year, it's done 3 times more miles than the car did with the xflow fitted in 5 years! Just an all round nicer car!
Had a few issues putting the 1100 back in, all that time sat in the damp lost compression, but that was restored with a bottle of redx, snapped a spark plug, thank the lord for stud extractors, carb started leaking petrol onto the distributor. But all those issues fixed!
First run

Next, i stuck all the standard interior back in
I also dug out my xr steels, got some decent part worn tyres off a mate, painted em up first in silver, then in grey (i liked silver but the finish was crap)
I just stick these on when i fancy a change from the alloys, although i perfer the alloys (even tho the price of them went up at ford from £55 each when igot them, to £125 each now )
Thats about it for now, loving it loads more now it's puny power again
