I'm surprised the threads on Audi quitting WEC took so long to start, as Motorsport News announced it

Wednesday last week.

Worst thing is they are joining the throng to get into Formula boring, sorry E.
It was all rumours and hearsay until today, Last week Audi even said no decision had been made to leave, and the rumours specified a leave at the end of 2017, turns out it is much more immediate.

Seems that the latest Italian earthquakes last night around Perugia were not nearly as bad as the previous

ones 3 months ago with no deaths reported.

I still had to look up where Perugia is ,getting closer to where my sister's place is...frown

The earthquake must have been much worse than reported if Perugia is now closer to your sister's place. Why is that Mk3 Ez cyclopedian?

Italian cities move in mysterious ways, those pesky seismic shifts.

What's Ez cyclopedian ?......confused

You're using made up words I don't understand.

Ez = Ford Escort innit?

cyclopedian = resembling or actually being a cyclops, as that there Dagenham baby has but one headlamp.

Ah.....O/S headlamp removed as the air filter sits behind there and removing it means air gets in.

Not sure if I have an underbonnet YB Cos engine pic in my locker.

Here's one.



Coincidentley also in a MK3 Escort, a converted S1 RS turbo.

The exhaust and mahoosive turbo also sits on that side so air filter has a big heat shield behind it.

ETA.....you'd need specsavers not to see what I just said.

2nd ETA.....^^^^ that one is missing heat shield....

Yes, I know it should be 'man' not 'pet, but pet sounds Geordier.

Just glad I wasn't born here. A lifetime of asking family to repeat themselves and then leaving none the wiser would be a nightmare.

4 computers and 14 years down the line, and my faithful old HP 5552 printer is still faithfully working even after a year in a box at the back of the cupboard.
These £20 or so modern jobbies cant hold a candle to the old metallic blue slice of early 2000's retro-ness.


ION, had my first ever pumpkin carving experience courtesy of my super-awesome flatmates taking the initiative to organise something fun for the whole flat.
Not sure they were quite expecting this, but it sure scares me hehe

We had a hearty soup with crusty white bread and butter last night for dinner as a treat. Sounds healthy but viewed objectively probably isn't. And when I say 'hearty soup' it was reminiscent of a scuttled fleet; there were some big old chunks in there. Anyway, just now, gazing around the kitchen in my early morning fog wondering what to put in my sandwiches, I hit on a wheeze. White bread and butter sandwiches. Oh, yeah. White bread and butter sandwiches for lunch. Because I can. Life is good.

Just had a Sunderland Breakfast. It's the gastric equivalent to a Glasgow Kiss.
I will never need to eat again

Where is your esprit de corps? You could have asked for a trivia bag* and brought most of it back for us. I can sense myself being lured by a cold Cumberland sausage.

*similar to a doggy bag

Faced with a plate that is only limited in food quantity by the angle of repose of the contents I felt I had to finish it.
