what do you tjink of this as a litle bargain

my old escort is a fuel guzzler and no one knows why it has done 65 miles this week on £20 worth of fuel there is no leaks it has had all the right bits done ie krypton tune then a new carb and another krypton tune

so its scrap now

i bought a l reg 94 model ford fiesta 1.8 diesel with tax and mot til september it has a very small amount of surface rust its done a genuine 24k from new it has is a bloody beautifal drive compared to the escort and it does 50-55 mpg which is fine for me and i paid a bargain of a pric for it £100 the bloke in westbury didnt have no idea what it was worth so im happier now

nothing more annoying than coming up to a roundabout, wanting to get the bike cranked over and diesel all over the place so ending up wobbling around it :x people that cause these spillages should be fined!! if they aint already that is

that escort has been in to the garage more times than ive been to the doctors for genital warts (that was a joke) and no one can uderstand it because it dosent smoke one bit but the breather pipe from the rocker was kicking out some steam which stank of unburnt fuel but it was a recon head and a strong bottom end it had compression tests the works and even my mates in kingsmead ford in bath didnt have a clue all i could say is maybe who ever done the head didnt regrind the valves properley its puzzling cause the engin ran like a dream and this is no word of a lie you could see the fuel guage moving i thought maybe the guage needed calibrating but i let it run low then it ran out bang on a 65 mile run

i have to confess.. i have an toyota avensis tdi -00.

diesels are great for company cars. low gas cost and high miles. i have 234th km in the clock and never changed anything but oil, filters and cambelt

i really do not like car tungin and youd have to have an 1000bhp car to get even close to bike accel.... hence diesel

Thats like me Mozzy.......I just got myself a little Nissan Micra 1.0 just for nipping about in when it's raining and for going to get stuff.

Not I'm a fai weather biker, if I'm out and it's raining well tough shit!, but I dont really see the point of going out to get dliberatley wet when you have use of a car.

Fekn great wee car, I also have (but trying sell/dont use) a Saab 9000 2.3 fpt auto, that was main for form of wheels before the bike.

But Iv'e allways a decent bike (got it now I hope) and a little run around for a car, my last car (before the Saab) was a K reg BM 525 24v manual.

Oh yea it flew for being a car, but the bike bug's been biting me since I sat my arse in it, I should never have sold my FJ1200.

But then again, if I hadn't sold it I wouldn't have the yzf now, oh well the sacrifices you sometimes have to make :mrgreen:
