Title: Who live's the Furthest Post by KEF on May 18th, 2004, 5:43pm Hi All (and I do mean all) Looking at Elfasto Posting, got me thinking, I wonder who out of all our members live's the furthest away !! And how many different countries log in to this site. and how hard is it to get part's for your car's. It would be nice to know. ::) I must start watching the old T.V again, I'm beginning to start thinking now. Haven't done that for a while, "Dangerous" :-/ Keith |

Title: Re: Who live's the Furthest Post by VladSoare on May 19th, 2004, 7:47am Bucharest, Romania. Let's see you beat that. :D About 2500 km from London. There are very few Scorpios around here (but a lot of Granadas, which incidentally I find to be the second most beautiful car in its class). Most of them have the 2.3 l engine. We have two official Ford dealers in Bucharest, plus one in every big town, where you can find any part you want. It takes 7 to 10 days for them to come from Germany. Unfortunately, no scrappies. The car is just too rare. :( |

Title: Re: Who live's the Furthest Post by john.n on May 20th, 2004, 7:23am Hi again Richard, i am the one who is always going down to Ponty- Trehafod to be precise, alrthough not every day! I met the wife on a drinking tour 18 years ago and cant stay away from the place!. I have met some great people in South Wales, from Cardiff right the way through the valleys. They are so much friendlier than the average Londoner- probably upset some of my mates now. Anyway if you are in the Ponty area pop into The Bertie its a really friendly pub, ask if thingyney John is around and if i am i,ll buy you a pint. regards, john.n ;) ;) |

Hey, not too bad! Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA About 6,000 km's from London going over the pole. No, no Scorpio's here, but a few Merkurs. Lots and lots of Rangers and Bronco II's with 2.9L 12 valve engines and A4LD's and all their variants. And a whack of 4.0L Cologne V6's either pushrod OHV or SOHC. Very nice engine. Little heavy on gas if you keep the gas pedal down, but gotta love the torque! |

Well, for me it's the engine. The DOHC 2.9L is facinating. The only Ford overhead cam we have in a V6 is the 4.0L, and, as powerful as it is, it's a real gas pig. |
