Maybe you will kick me but I think it looks nice. I want to have some tribals on the side

I really like the car, this is a very nice white color for the 480, but I'm afraid it's a b*tch to keep clean...

Wouldn't put a sticker like this on the side of mine, but then again if I bought one like this I'd probably leave it on

I think that looks really nice, to be honest. I might even bid on it

You can buy kits to make your car do that off ebay!

There was a recent report of a clapped out rustbucket escort that would only do 60 up a hill, but it was reported because it shot flames out of it's exhaust 6ft behind the car whenever someone tried to overtake - it had one of these stupid kits on too...

Back in the 1950's when I was in the RAF, we made a Mk.7 Jag. do that. I think it was by fitting a spark plug in the exhaust & powering it with a magneto, but the details are a bit hazy now.

Certainly in the Jolly Rogers Anarchists cookbook of old, they suggest mounting a sparkplug in the exhaust to cause a similar effect...

Jolly Rogers Anarchists cookbook

You got a copy of that ?

I remember the JRCB from my younger days!

50/50

Well it finished at Â£770 - more than I'd pay for it as a second car (read: afford), but a bargain if I were looking to sell mine... On the face of it, someone got a good deal

martinholmesuk · Post by **martinholmesuk** » Thu Dec 18, 2003 4:38 pm

I mailed the seller asking if the car was OK.

Missed this post, sorry.

Errm, well I'll have it on an Amiga floppy somewhere, but just google
