    Another newbie! (feel free to make fun of my username)

    Just thought i would say hey as i'm new to the forum. Hopefully this place is too different from the normal places im used to. I'm mainly into Fords myself so i've spent more than my fair share of time posting over on Passionford, and if anyone has any Ford related questions feel free to give me a shout

    by the way aswell - how do i attach my signature?? I've looked in my user CP but i can't see anything obvious (queue the obvious answer staring me in the face )

    lol pure comedy at its finest.

    rixf666 - no worries mate. I can't guarantee how often i'm on here, but you'll probably find me easier on PF, same username! I'm glad you said S1 and not S2, shocking things are the Mk4's

    P HUGE.....that turbo you're looking at in the for sale section is either a T2 or T25, it can't be any bigger because the compressor housing is fastened on with a a circlip, any bigger and they're bolted on. I'm pretty sure you can use the serial number on the garret site and it'll tell you exactly what it was at the time of manufacture

    of course its an S1 , every chav has a S2

    i will probably join up to Pf myself when we get cracking on it, gonna have a looky now, the only forum i had seen before when i had a search was rsowners or something similar.

    dam, access denied on that one with the work PC.

    Its a good site if you can get in with the right people, but there is a LOT of cocks on there aswell, half of them don't even have Fords they just hang around in the muppet room cos they have no lives/nothing better to do!!

    I think possibly that may have changed now though since the takeover, but i dont go on there nearly as much as i used to so i can't be sure.

    Mk4's are just wank and thats all there is to it

    sounds a bit like this place sometimes, lots of old members that dont own puntos anymore but cant keep away, probably because this is a great forum compared to most others i have been on.

    i used to have a mk4 too but it was an orion 1.6i ghia was the closest i could get to an xr3 when i was only 17, insurance was still a killer.

    oh the joys of getting older, at least its good for something eh?

    You say it like its a bad thing, the Orion was the most luxurious model by far!! I've had a few Mk1's this was the best one i owned, sold it last July.

    no i actually really liked it, until i crashed the 5hit out of it a couple of times.

    but it was a mk4 and you dont like them, or is that an exception?

    I think you mean it was a Mk2 Orion

    A Mk2 Orion is more forgiving than a Mk4 Escort, but i hope you have learnt the error of your ways!!
