Another one bites the Dust

After 8 years faithful service my owd Escort is sick

It looks like that great scrapyard in sky

Following on from Katy last week and Revaps 'Buffy' the other week it looks like it is my turn on B&A this week for 'Wreck of the Week'

Known as 'The Cow Car' 8 years of starting at 5am every morning seems to have caught up with her

Its moment of glory came last May when it looked like 20 Town fans were going to be strandanded in the suburbs of Stoke for the rest of there lives. But a couple of phone calls and the 'Cow Car' came through

[El Huracán!!!!]

And thats how you get to be a moderator

RIP the cow car!!!!

Ask mike if you can have his for the next 5 months

Why don't they make you a moderator Pricey? You seem to be on here a lot.

It's not fair my man. You wanna join my jungle cat gang?

Why do we get so attached to cars?

I had a scary moment the other week when mine got broken in to and someone ripped off the steering wheel - snapping the steering column in the process.

But the local scrapyard came through and "The Tank" is still on the road.

They become part of your lives.

My wife was saying 'Scrape the wreck' and I am saying 'NO I will put it right'

I love my car

It is the car I learned in, a car I have had for seven years, my first car and my only car

I shall be sad when it dies, but it can;t be far off now. There is moss growing in the door frames and it is leaking through the floor somewhere

Let him grow a bit more, and he can move from right back too central defence. Got to be worth a try.

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

And so it has proved with the cow car ;D

Plug lead burnt out and some rather knackered spark plugs.

Were on the road again ;D

But the wife wants me to get a new(ish) one.

One Ford Escort for sale, one careful lady owner, one nutty male owner

Right a soak in the bath to get all this oil off
