Title: Hello from a newb
Post by ScorpioAbuser on Dec 29^th, 2006, 12:18pm

Hello All,

firstly just like to say: think the site is great. I used the buyers guide to help me in my search for a Scorpio. It proved invaluable.

I've recently bought a 1998 Scorpio Ultima cosworth. Used to have a Grannie a few moons back and always loved the Scorpio.

My usual car is a Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo. However, I am currently in the throes of rebuilding the engine and over hauling the suspension.

As such I needed a daily runner. Looked at various jap and german cars in my budget but they didn't float my boat. Found a couple of Scorpios and couldn't resist.

So I now own a lovely panther black model and I am very pleased with it.

Although as you can probably guess from my regular car I won't be towing or dawdling. So: the tow bar is about to be ripped off (ugly!!!) and I've ordered an intake kit from piper cross to see if I can un strangle the intake a little. And of course a new set of disks and pads are on their way too.

Ian ;)

Basically, you take a pic of the car with your digital camera. Download the picture to your hard drive, then upload it to a site such as:

www.tinypic.com or
www.photobucket.com (have to register for this one)

When uploaded, the site will give you an address and a line of code that you can use to link the photo with, such as [1img]my photo is here[/1img]. Ignore the "1"s next to img, had to put that so the code didn't disappear.

Just copy and paste this into your message and Robert is very much your mothers brother :D
