Popped back to say hi

[Mike]

Blimey, this place is looking awesome now! Refreshing and fresh!

Thought I would pop back to say hello, see what's occurring and what's new. Still alive, still a UPS guy, other than that, nothing much has changed.

This is what I have at the moment, Scratch and Stripes, well, Scratch was traded in last month for another one identical...one of the very last ones off the production line so I haven't gotta deal with the horrible new one lol.



Always a pleasure seeing the 197's and 200's around, pretty rare cars still, so good to see them.

All the best

Mike

You can't move in the UK for mk7 Fiesta and vauxhall corsas. mk3 rs's are like unicorns in comparison.

 

[Legend@wheels]

Lol
I know about the vauxhalls .
Didnt know that fiestas are the same.
Thats too bad ,cuz the clios are way more proper machine.
The corsas more like 'toy machine' [emoji12]
(Had one for a couple of years)

 

[Mike]

Thank you

Indeed the photography has been doing very well this last year - I've been very lucky with the number of places my pictures have been used...seeing them as a double page spread in a magazine was absolutely amazing!

And as for the Fiestas being common, yes, unfortunately they are, as well as being very steal-able too...you have to get a disklok and an OBD port thingy too! Hatesd driving the Clio 200T - that bloody flappy gear paddle thing....ugh!!!

And a 2nd point about them being so common....here is my front drive:



Hehehehe, 4 ST's on one drive lol! White one is my friends, the two blues are mine, and the red one is my other friends

This place is getting busy again, so much nicer than the Facebook groups - but I went off all the forums after finishing on here last time - too much time spent on forums and not doing other bits lol!!!!

Hi Mike

Good to see you back and posting......

 

[Mike]

Maccy D's - you dirty chav! You have the name almost similar to Ripspeed!

Yeah, the photography is getting there slowly but surely now - had some fantastic successes with that

Hi Mike. I think you were on here before my time but good to see old members coming back - just confirms that this place is awesome!
Would be interested to see some of your photography as a fellow enthusiast.

 

[Mike]

Yeah I ruled the roost back in 2009-2012 ish, then slipped quietly away lol. Kind of went down the Fiesta ST route, got divorced etc, so forums didn't really interest me much hehe.

My photography is on my facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/mcracknellphoto

Mainly landscapes. These are the photos that are being published in all sorts of publications at the moment, I am really enjoying it, if you have a photo you think is good, you should try sending it off - you never know!!!
