Codprawn, do we love him?

Mollers · 11 November 2005, 19:18

He may stir up a lot of emotion, he may be an enigma, but this site would be a lot less fun without him. Some of you guys get so wound up at his contributions! It's great fun! Who cares if he drives a Fiesta and lives with his mum? He comes up with info that most of us can't be bothered to research. Codders, if you fancy a beer and a curry, join us SW guys next week. Your welcome to stay at mine and we'll have a laugh.

roycruse · 11 November 2005, 19:20

Dont worry you can go on a lane with my kids - they just lob the ball down the lane and still need the gully cushions up

No, no, I won't have any of that. If you'd taken the trouble to read some of his earliest posts, you'd have known that Codders was conceived by immaculate conception and abandoned at birth in a barn somewhere near the Red Sea. Furthermore, he learned to drive in a 4WD, all-wheel steer chariot with steptronic transmission so clearly wouldn't be seen dead in a Fiesta.

Thought this was going to be personal but not too bad I suppose - maybe JK should reintroduce the Red Blob scheme - I was well pissed off when I only had 2!!!

Well it wasn't until PD showed his face!!!

Have never owned a Ford in my life although I did kill the engine of a Granada on a test drive!!

Funnily enough I DID learn in a 4wd - a Suzuki jeep 1.0L - great fun off road but not too clever on it!!!

I thought you had 'empathy' with the vehicle.

Red blob scheme - what was that - did I miss something...

Do you fancy a trip to cornwall then codders - you have free accomodation with Mollers and we're parctically welsh down here anyway (well acording to Garfish we are

)

Yes - empathy enough to know the car was clocked and no way had it done 50,000 miles.

The place was called Empress car sales - big car supermarket near Newport. I was desperate for a car at the time and against my better judgement I decided to by the motorised sofa - 2.9l V6 kind.

I paid a deposit subject to test drive. They prepped the car but hadn't even fixed the speedo. A mechanic came with me and after just a mile or 2 I noticed the oil light coming on at idle. The autobox would jump into neutral every time I did an emergency stop.

After about 10 mins the engine started to die and in fairness to the mechanic he said it would be hard to get my money back unless it died properly - another few miles and it did - pulled up outside their showroom with steam pouring from under the bonnet - oil everywhere. they couldn't get me out of there fast enough!!!

Better than the Southeners and Essex mob any day!!!

Most of you seem to be South coast Cornwall though - the North is obviously much closer for me!!!

Oi, for your information I'm half Welsh (father born in the Rhondda) and I was born in Devon.

Yes. The Ford v6 oil pump was driven from a hexagonal shaft from the bottom of the Dizzy. The edges used to round off on the shaft causing it to slip and reduce the action of the oil pump causing engine failure.

Why didn't you allow for this before you set out?

Unless you were planning to come by boat - then the north cost is only 20 minutes from the south coast by road (only 10 minutes in some places) so it don't really make much difference. The main drag into Cornwall (the A30) is pretty central to the county really.

I actually live on the north coast - but tow my boat 20 miles to the south coast for easy launching - the boat launching facilities on the north cost are crap. Its a shame really as there is some spectacular coastline there.

Well, if you ask them really nicely, I'm quite sure they'll all come over to the North coast for you.

I suspect the guys in the garage saw you coming and thought, nudge nudge weve got a right one ere, this pilchard is the sort of nobbur who will buy anything, lets give it a go..........Little did they know what they were up against eh!! a walking encyclopedia that knows everything and cars being a well proven speciality......were they impressed with your gear changes, matching the revs just perfectly?
