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

[Alanman]

I'm not bragging in the arrogant and cocky way but looking back at what we've dont over the last 10 years, its quite a list. When its working I feel proud to be the person that has built and transformed BigCab to where it is now.

We'll be the first to admit, BigCab is far from concours but it still seems to work, somehow. With minimal changes it seems to surf all the current fads and trends that the scene chucks at us.

Dont think its easy though, the reality of lookin after a 27 year old fibreglass Escort is far from easy. The hours I spend in the garage is rediculous sometimes to just keep BigCab basically maintained, never mind trying to keep it up to date with the show scene aswell. Over the time I've fitted at least 5 engines and I've long since lost count how many wheel bearings its had. lol. Its had easy 10 colour changes, numerous interiors and 6 or 7 sets of wheels.

Would I do it again if I knew?.......... Of coarse I fuck would.

Anyway here's a list of BigCab's highlights over the last ten hard years. I think I've got them all and in the right order.
