    Re: Ace Cafe Jan 2005

    Nice pics mate & a few cars i didnt see while i was there :
    As for kevs old mk1,a mate of mine bought it & it was gonna stay tawny brown(mainly cos i wanted mine Ermine white ) i agree theres loads of white ones but each to their own............
    It could have gone to someone who would have left it to rot,the guy's worked his arse off (not only on the paint) kept it on the road & in my opinion it looks the nuts

    If you looked carefully it had no mexico or twin cam logos on it and least he spent good money and lots of time making a mk1 look good again not like a rusty brown old mans mk1. Everyone i spoke to said it had a lovely job done on it and if the previous owner liked it brown maybe they should have spent their money on it... from the new owner..

    I liked it when it was brown,looks lovely in white, a bit like Jon Harris's old one and that ain't a bad thing.Fair play for getting it done so quick.Top job.

    i think that garys being using my pass word agian. I bought the car and was going tidy it up but after looking over the car propely it needed more work than i thought and with the wife not very happy with it ether i had to go so sold it back to gary for a loss and he has spent a lot of time doing all the repare work and spending a lot of time working out what colour to do it he could of left it tawny but you cant beet a nice straght ermine white mk 1 still lots to do yet ie engine etc. I think he read kevs reply a bit wrong but you would get a bit touchy about it after doing all that work. all to ther own i suppose.

    last pic is my brown escort , really need to get some paint on it. started playing up aswell,think it might be dirt in the carb. when the revs get to a certain point the engine dies for a second or 2 ,doesnt always do it though. i'll have to sort it for next month.

    ok m8 so u sold it for a loss.still dosen't explain when u came to buy the car from me.how ur m8 was there,
    then he was gone as soon as i turned up?

    if that's the case how come i've heard since ace cafe that he got it from u for £1800,so i don't see that as a loss
    the story don't just add up?
    can u smell that,cat shit,dog shit,no it's bullshit

    Errr without wanting to cause a riot,the only bullshit is that the car changed hands for £1800.And maybe Gary wouldnt feel the need to reply if you hadnt put him down for painting HIS car white.
    No doubt this will provoke a reaction but i think its difficult enough buying a car that would be known as "kevs old mk1" without being slagged off in the process.
    His first mk1 & this is the welcome he gets to our "scene"..............nice

    Re: Ace Cafe Jan 2005

    I think the way Gary bought the car was a bit under handed as he and chris turn up unannounced on kev`s doorstep,a few days after Gary had originally,been round once with another mate,looked at it,and was told the car,the 2nd mex wings and the revolutions were all in £1850.
    When they turned up unannounced,Gary who originally wanted it,left as Kev pulled up,and Chris done the deal with Kev....Everybodies happy,Why Did`nt Chris not wanna fill in the log book at kev`s house,Whatever reason it is,either to try and get the car cheaper for his friend of for himself to to sell at a loss to his friend,who Knows,all`s fair in buying and selling car,Either to get it cheaper for a friend or to sell it at a loss to a friend,Hope Gary enjoys the car whatever colour it is as Kev enjoyed spending your money,Everyone`s happy so lets all be friends

    Which one? The last pic is a yellow mk2 And some Redex might help if your carb is a little dirty.

    im all for making a car your own and im sure thats what kev would have wanted too, i dont think he was havin a go at the start....more of a shock reaction to see it white as if it were me that had bought it i would have done it tawny again as its a rare and nice colour, but i guess some dont like it so thats why this one is white.

    what a kerfuffle ! once you sell a car why does it matter what the new owner does,it might not be to your taste but it aint yours anymore,i thought it was the nicest mk1 there and had a long chat with the owner,its not just another white mk1 but an ermine white one which goes well with its age,i would have used oblong lights myself.
