I spent the day helping my boy "do up" his MK2 fiesta

Crazy money old fords are getting at the mo. He was after a MK1 but they've gone nuts, so eventually settled on a mk2

Forgotten what fun customizing was

He's got his eyes on my old weller wheels now, some 13 x 8 s should fill his little arches a treat

hope you like

excellent pictures!!! Remind me of my early car years.....first car was a 1966 ford anglia (1200 super, maroon with a cream roof) with a 1500 pre crossflow engine (cortina gt) and gearbox, ford classic capri struts and disc brakes, cortina seats and instruments with a big fat tacho on the dash top

... It was de chromed and a home made exhaust sytem with a 4 into 2 into 1 header, straight through pipe and a peco rear box. Also had bloody great reverse steel wheels with big tyres plus full 'works' rally wheel arches

.... oh and air horns that played a tune lol

..... it was the dogs dodahs in 1978 I can tell you.... wish I still had it

Maybe a new thread on the subject anyone????

What's it about?

This one's poetry, because it was the only option where I had all of the basics on paper or in docs. The stories are going to take a while longer, judging by the two weeks I lost collating, formatting & proofing a 138 page poetry book.

Amazon is still negotiating eBook arrangements with my publisher, but you can get Kindle format as well as most of the other major ebook formats direct from my book page on their site.

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/38699

Should be worldwide at & via Apple, Sony, Barnes & Noble, Kobe and Amazon by the end of March.

Print copies only available direct from me.
