Agreed!

Much better game than Gran Turismo

Could you put the fuel/temp gauges from a non IC dash in there instead?

Would have thought it would be easier than putting another gauge somewhere else

As you may or may not know I lost my recent battle with beating the 480 addiction and now my decline into complete and utter insanity continues, I tried, I really did, I even bought a bloody escort for crying out loud, didn't quite get as far as standing up in a room full of people and saying 'Hi I'...

Nice one, glad to know I'm not the only crazy fool around here

Come on then who bought it? There was some interest but nothing was happening so I decided to break it... Then I looked at the poxy bloody escort I'm driving now 480 - 2.0, £25 a week fuel to work & back, good fun to drive, feel safe driving it, puts me in a good mood every day Escort - 1.6, ÂÂ...

Hmmmmm.....

Missed that didn't I

No longer for sale...

i *think* that some of the 440s were run off carb (or am i thinking 340?) You're right there Rob, my 440 was a 1.7 with a carb Can't see it being too difficult getting the manifold to take a decent replacement carb but for a twin setup I'd think you'll be looking at a custom built manifold, and for...

As you say, Jim. but having owned two 480s with Momos, I just couldn't see myself holding an ordinary-looking one... ;) Agreed! I got my Momo when I had my 2nd 480, there's no way I'm selling the thing, just can't go back to that bloody awful 2 spoke thing again It'll go on my next one - when I can...

No

Standard was a normal two spoke but in leather

If I'm remembering correctly John you need the remains of an old one to make a new one

I just happen to have said remains...

Let me know if you need em

J

Great news

The Charger is just too good a car to break, good luck with it mate

I wrote: I'm only going to leave it where it is until the end of next week

And then it got moved to somewhere else...

It's safe for now, but only until this weekend, then it's got to move again, and as I've got nowhere to put it this time...

Saw a red L plate 2.0 ES headed towards Dewsbury on leeds road today, and seen 3 others in Brid during the last week

I only see em when I'm not in a 480
