your most embarrasing escort rebuild moment..

[cossie si]

was driving my parents to Mablethorpe for a holiday just after passing my test. saw a level crossing in the distance and thought it would be fun to take it at speed. Didn't see the dip before the crossing and duly took off over the crossing and landed quite heavily. Car was fine but poor mum in the back seat hit her head on the roof as the car landed and had to wear a neck brace for 2 weeks

Now thats what i'm talkin about. Lisa, get yer old queen in the back of the car!

i showed off with 3 others in my mk2 1300 pop, long story short, hit a flyover, car on its roof.

road closed, 5 cop cars, 2 bikes 1 ambulance and 1 fire engine later the copper says " 10,000 people drive under this flyover every day, you're the first prick to hit it "

all within 2 weeks of being a full licence holder at 17!!

scratches are still on the flyover, i drive past it everyday on my way home

Put the diff tag between the diff and the casing, didn,t realise till i did all the bolts up why there was a gap, on the phone to Burtons, new gasket etc etc, when i was about 20 in my blue on blue Mk1 RS2000 showing off in front of others, pulled out from behind a lorry, continued chatting to the bird, didn,t see the oncoming car...... front panel, slam panel, wings, lights, kenlowe fan and rad, oh and new number plate, not very clever,

That is very harsh Mr Tamplin... better not mention your hybrid bonnet release cable.. .....

[Mr Hoarder]

My most embarassing moment has to be spending years and £0000's on a Mk2, then having it on the road for 8 days before rolling it in front of a Classic Ford photographer

Nearly lost an eye when taking steering wheel off my pop+ many years ago ,took the nut off completly and was pulling at the wheel with a screwdriver in my hand ,when it suddenly released and the screwdiver hit me 1/2 inch below my eye.

More recently changing over an ash tray holder ,fitted to switch panel fitted panel ,centre consul etc then went to put ashtray in holder to find the holder was upside down.

On the driving front ,had a MK4 cortina that i replaced wings , door and had resprayed drove it for 4 weeks till one saturday on my way to play football decided i would try a bit of drifting ,over cooked it and ended up spinning accross the road into 12 inch square oak gate posts ,one written off Tina. Got towed in to ford dealer and tow truck dropped me off at football to play the second half which pleased the misses no end when i finally got home car less ,our only form of transport at the time and we lived 20 mile from both our workplaces.

Happy days not

i changed the clock pod on my old rs2 to one with the correct colour needle.so i set off down barnet high road,when smoke started billowing out of the dash,and smoking out the street,i pulled up outside my mates garage and popped the bonnet and pulled off the battery leads.i had of course put the wires back on the wrong way so while repairing the melted wires i noticed how rusty the bottom part of the screen was on the inside,so sold the car on quickly
