Just phoned up my insurance who charged me an extra 28p... oh and a £17.50 admin charge :lol:

Must say I do think it suits the car down to the ground!
Lovely burble 2-3k under load! Turns into a throaty bellow above 3k. Yet under normal conditions you cannot hear a thing! :cheesy:

IT'S NOT BROWN!!!1 :lol:
I prefer 'Maroon'... 'Red' or even 'Purple' :P

No, jokes aside it's called Morello Red.

We'll have to pick a day and have a little meet up, maybe round Dai's house?

Nah I touch-upped the bullet hole in the end. The door dent needs to be done but that will need PDR, but nowt's happening for a while 'cos I've got some cashflow problems at the moment :cry: . I've just paid my insurance and the tax is due this month (all £30 of it :lol: :cheesy: ), plus the first service is now due, so other stuff will have to wait :(

Couple of guys on the talk ford forum asked me to get a video of the car driving around town, motorway and down some back roads.
45 min drive to college on a Tuesday where I use all sorts of roads so thought I would video the drive and edit the bits I want to show how quiet it is normally and how noisy it is with your foot down.
I made a makeshift camera mount out of some wood and some tiewraps...

And like a dopey twat I forgot to set the camera to Video, so I got this picture :(
