I have a shitty little Fiesta, it's not even worth posting pictures of. If anyone knows anything about cars, can they explain why a shit load of hair-like fibreglass just started spilling out of the exhaust?

I'm pretty sure that's what makes the muffler on the exhaust muffle.

which means something is broken.

hehe, muff.

OOOH! OOH! ME SIR!!!!

You drive a fiesta that has a catalytic converter in the exhaust, AICMFP.


Yep, the cat has had it, and it spitting its filling (IIRC its fibreglass and platinum mesh) out the exhaust. If its a post '91 festa, you may have a problem, as post '91, you need a functioning cat to pass the MOT. pre '91, as long as it passes the visual smoke and co2 checks, it should be ok.

That.

Although a catalytic converter on a pre '91 fiesta would be rather uncommon no?

This. IIRC, most Pre 1992/3 Fords are cat.-less

Pfft, didn't even realise it had a catalytic converter*. Oh well, it had it's MOT in August, and I knew then this was it's last year. Fuck it, I'll just let it run until it dies.

Speaking of which a did almost kill a small child today. Going along a busy main road, traffic was quiet considering it was about 6.30, approach a set of lights when some little shit just ran right out in front of me. Cue squealing of breaks and me sliding to halt in the middle of the road, lights still on green, whilst the little scally bastard buggered off. I think I was sat there for a fair few seconds because the lights went red shortly after. I wasn't even going that fast (between 30-35mph), but he was inches away from me. It didn't come as much of a surprise to see several wreaths of "accident flowers" tied to the railings there - it must be a popular crossing spot for retards.


*cars, as with computers, I'm pretty fucking clueless.

Should have just run him the fuck over. New car, and one less chav=double win!

What happened to the rather plush Mondeo that you had at Grim bash Roman?

That is Papa Roman's car, which I occasionally steal/borrow.

I'd also like a mini in British Racing Green, probably with the black and white checkered roof as well. They do look really nice.

When I was a teenager I watched the bloke across the road turn a rusting heap into a beautifully restored classic mini for his daughter. I think it was blue with a Union Jack on the roof.

I bet as she got a bit older, the loving father had the misfortune of learning that she was being banged constantly in the back of said mini.


I used to live around the corner from a mechanic who spent his spare time on mini's, he built one for his son, put a 1380 turbo engine, that he'd re-bored, with turbo/intercooler/metro cam and head, all for maximum power of around 220bhp. He spent hundreds hours on it, then the son went and bent it round a tree a few months later.*



*son was fine, the lucky shit.
