Thats sad Dart but obviously you need to go for the practicalities of the other vehicle. If you want to alter the time go to your 'profile' scroll down to the box which allows you to input the necessary time 'lag' enter +5 and all will be English time again. Best wishes to you both.

Silly auto-editing. It won't let you put the letters T, I and S in a row. Not anywhere in a post

Thanks for the backup chaps!

     Just one question, have i got to drill out those darn rusted solid torx bolts to get the back bumper off or is there a clever secret way :-/
Title: Re: A fond comeback!
Post by Geoff_W on Jan 24th, 2006, 9:11pm
Sorry but I think you may need to reach for the drill if they are solid :(
Title: Re: A fond comeback!
Post by Thunderchild on Jan 25th, 2006, 11:48am
If you have access to a welder, weld a bolt onto each torx head and out they will come!! Had to do that on the last Scorp. Obviously replaced them with bolts so that I didn't have the same problem should I ever have to take the bumper off again.

Good news Dart.

Hello again Guys!
Its been 2 years since I've been on the site. Unfortunately my partner Carol died on the 2nd of January this year after a long battle with cancer, I think a lot of you met her at the 2005 Harewood house meet.
She was always an angel !
Any way,the mobility galaxy has gone back and scorps is back on the road again!!.
Its took around £1200 to get it shipshape after 2 years in the garage, I've almost performed a total scorps transplant! I think the only original bit left is the keyfob!!
So hope to be nattering with you guys from now on. Long live the scorpio ;D
PS, Carols wishes where for her ashes to be scattered at a remote bay in the very north of Scotland that she had fell in love with on a previous holiday,so I'll be taking the scorps up there on the 15th of Feb for a few days, give me a wave if you see the silver bullet!! :).

REally is WELCOME back, We must have just missed each other when you were on that holiday... I was up on the West coast some of the time you were there and remember seeing your pictures of the car on the ferry ( was that to Arran) from KIntyre ...

Sorry about the news.
