*MAXXD* Clare's Rieger F40 Escort Cabriolet "BigCab"

[Alanman]

Took it for a spin round block last night and it was ace. It might not be the fastest but my god that RS turbo engine sounds awsome. I followed Clare in the Merc just in case, and those tyres dont even look real from the back, they are soooooooo big. The wheels look amazing moving slowly and they arnt even clean yet. The reflection of the spokes in the dish is wicked.

All in all it was a good run but a few little things highlighed and need sorting, main ones are....

The front wheel just catches the front edge of the side skirt on the drivers side. Clare did insist on that half in bigger wheel. Might just leave it, I dont thing its hurting anything. lol

Rear brakes are squeeking so just need to give them a check and maybe apply copper slip or something on back of pad.

Engine fan needs sorting, temp sensor dont work so its always been on a switch that looks like has been broke with dash swap. Doh!

Then just need to give it a clean and get used to driving it again, avoiding kerbs, speed humps, pot holes, narrow roads etc.
