Title: Re: Another one bites the dust.... Post by PeteB on Feb 10th, 2007, 12:24pm Next week I wouldve have 4 years no claims too, back to 0 now no chance of getting insured on another scorp as it'll cost me 700+ just for TPFT :( So so gutted |

Title: Re: Another one bites the dust.... Post by Johnboy on Feb 10th, 2007, 3:04pm :'( Thats really bad news. Have you thought of not claiming on insurance and strip the scorp down and sell off part by part. The engine/box, seats, lights etc. Must be worth something. |

Title: Re: Another one bites the dust.... Post by mr._floppy on Feb 10th, 2007, 9:40pm It's bad enough when the old Scorps reach the end of the line due to failure or old age but it seems sadder when our numbers are reduced by accidents. :'( Don't know about you but I find my ABS makes little difference in stopping ability in slushy snow. |

[]...& the traction control & auto ice mode seems pretty useless as well. Dropped a guy of on Thursday night & his driveway went down towards his house. No car had been in or out since it had snowed that morning & there was 4 inches of virgin snow. No problem going down, but getting back up was a nightmare. Had to keep taking runs at it, & eventually after about the 20th time & ten minutes I got back out onto the road. The traction control just seemed useless on the now compressed snow....it just wasn't getting me anyware ::) So I took one last run up with the TC off and in D....& made it to the top....like I used to do it in the olden days in the Cortina....lots of wheel spinning ;D |

Title: Re: Another one bites the dust.... Post by mr._floppy on Feb 11th, 2007, 11:10am Yip, you can't beat the superior rear wheel drive 8) It seems, RWD is gradually making a comeback, with many US models reverting to the sensible front wheels for steering, rear wheels for power, set-up. |
