Title: 50th Birthday Present Post by mr._floppy on Nov 6th, 2006, 9:11pm http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f78/smallparts456/IMG_1071-1.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f78/smallparts456/IMG_1068-1.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f78/smallparts456/IMG_1064-1.jpg Isn't it terrible when you've got to buy your own Birthday present as your own family is too miserable to buy you a measly 2002 4.6lt. Ford Crown Victoria. Don't worry the old faithful Scorp will be my main workhorse, the Vic is for posh and showing off :-* |

Title: Re: 50th Birthday Present Post by mr._floppy on Nov 6th, 2006, 9:37pm Actually compared to a standard Ultima the specs are rather poor. No CD player, no Clim. Con. ( has A /C ), no trip computer, no tacho, no leather, no washer, seat or front screen heaters, no dipping mirror. So it's the basic model really. Great power steering, goes like a stabbed rat from a standing start. Erm, can't get it in me garage, it's too long ! :'( |

Title: Re: 50th Birthday Present Post by Danny_R on Nov 7th, 2006, 12:51pm Hey Mr Floppy congratulations with the new purchase. I got to be honest, i never thought you would do it lol. If you want the model woth all the scorpio goodies you need to look out for an LX sport Crown Vic. The CV is a real work horse and that 4.6L is bullet proof. I've seen Crown Victoria's with over 500,000 miles on them with the origional engine and tranny!!! Body on frame construction, rear wheel drive, and a trunk the size of a cave!!! congratulations buddy :D Quote:
p.s. I'm not lazy Matt 8) Danny_R |

Title: Re: 50th Birthday Present Post by mr._floppy on Nov 7th, 2006, 5:32pm Got a couple of oil filters online, £10 each. Went to a popular garage chain ( 8 Letters: A grand race run at Aintree ) for an oil change, they refused to fit products not supplied by them even though they admitted they were unable to supply an oil filter for the car ??? I drove 25 miles to another branch of the same company, no problems here , they gladly fitted my supplied filter right away, 5ltrs. 5w-30 plus fitting filter , total cost £20. :-* I'll be going back there. |
