Congrats, Jamie! That is a nice car - would have liked that myself if I had the money.

I had to take my wiper assy out once to change my brake booster - total pain. Now, I think my wiper motor is bad. (wiper spindles start and stop erratically after about a min of use - it's either gonna be the motor or the module, but I think motor) Anyway, thanks for the write up - I'll be...

SRT 8 or nothing, IMO.

LOL - I actually want some aqua interior pieces myself - aqua stuff seems to be almost impossible to find!

Give up and go home? :big-grin:

Doesn't make much sense. :confused: How the heck can the dealer sell any cars if it doesn't allow anyone to test drive them first?

What??? You suck chili through a straw? :eek: :laugh: Actually, Wendy's chili is one of the few things from Wendy's I will eat - their burgers are always soggy as heck! :frown:

No way! I don't like the fact that many cars these days have cup holders, either!

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info, Lonnie - those 'upgrades' don't sound good at all, so I'll keep my original tensioners. Makes me relieved - I didn't want to delve into the timing area unless necessary! :)

Do the early type tensioners (say, on my 93 Mark) have those ratchet mechanisms? I was told they did not. Reason I ask is because I was considering upgrading to the newer type tensioners that apparently 'fix' the timing chain 'slap' on start-up. I was under the impression that the 'fix' Ford did...

The hall of shame thread for a guy called Jesse Sanders really got under my skin. Shooting and vandalizing a nice SVO to protest Iraqi's being killed??? As if ruining that car would help anything - what an idiot!

Yeah, I found that pic from Dereck on another board - and that was the reason for it being posted - the silliness! Lol. I think Ford saw the error of their ways, as my 2008 rental didn't have those instructions. :)

What I meant to say was grille emblem! Lol. (flip it, insert key and turn, then find the usual secondary latch under the hood)

On my 2008 Mondeo, you flipped the hood emblem and used the key to pop the hood.

Scotland is great! (I spent 3 months living in the outskirts of Edinburgh) Gonna take the wife there for a few days in the summer! I see you initially flew into London. Hope you didn't come in through Heathrow - what a horrible, horrible airport! Lol. I was in England over Xmas just gone -...

Haha... I saw that. Very interesting! The physical size of the 4.6 4v Modular always amazes me when compared to the old school push rod engines. Such a big looking engine! :)

Sorry, I haven't been following for long. Why did you order another block? Why not use your existing Mark VIII block? Something wrong with it?

The Supercharger is an Eaton. Geno of LMS owns that one of one car. Here is some more info on it: http://www.lincolnsofdistinction.com/TascaFordSupermark.htm There is also a vid of it on youtube. Edit: That link is being temperamental! If it doesn't work, type Tasca Supermark in google and...

It was on Ebay the other week for I think 180,000 also. Anyway, there was a ton of pics. The car appears to be nothing more than fibreglass panels attached to a wooden frame. The interior was also cut off below the windows i.e. just below the window line it was solid. Had a Mark VIII dash and...
