selling my MK5b Escort XR3i, its the 105bhp model so not expensive to insure and very good on fuel. tax is out end of sept (next week) and mot till Feb 2012. Good runner and never let me down. had Fords for 20years so time for a change (looking for a MX5) small amount of rust on rear drivers arch and panel but not that bad. welcome to view first in Manchester. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/FCOC/MK5b%20XR3i/005.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/FCOC/MK5b%20XR3i/025.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/FCOC/MK5b%20XR3i/002-4.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/FCOC/track%20day%202011/007.jpg Looking for £850, will throw in lowering springs (-30) new in box and original lights/side lights if i get asking price.

LMFAO. No. It isn't, pal. why isnt it? gypsy or travvler or even gypo is fine but pikey is ofensive i have not used the word Pikey, i used traveller as i think they are Irish Travellers. The other group are English Gypsies (or i may have it the wrong way round) They also have a traveller/gypsy code that the council, police, nhs and a few other bodies and the traveller/gypsies are ment to work to, only thing is the traveller/gypsies dont. (not all of them are bad, i have a mate who is a gypsy and lives in a house near me) and i have come across a few that have tided up after themselves when they have left the area near me but not all are like that (i also said there are lazy arsed English that live of benefits and sponge of the rest of us) as to would you say this to them, i personally would think twice but i do have a rather large mate, who had his stereo stolen from his wifes car and found out it was a lad from the local camp near him. He went alone (well with his rotty that was as big as a horse) knocked on the caravan door and told them he either got the stereo back or he would turn the van on its roof. another traveller came over, went in the van, cracked the lad and gave him his stereo back. at least you did not call me a racist.

what do "foreigners" have to do with this exactly? the issue here is if they allow these "travellers" to stay its open house for anyone else who wants to build illegally on any plot of land anywhere in this country. how would you feel if someone came along and built in your back garden but you were powerless to stop it.. this is what this dale farm is really all about.. I think he;s more perplexed about the "foreigners" statement? myself also infact. surely people dont generally think most travellers are from other countries?? their mainly english, often tax dodging, scrounging, filthy and geneally illegal............... but still English. Even the ones who self proclaim themselves "Romanian Gypsies" are nowadays into the 3-4th generation of being English born. i think you will find a lot of them are Irish, not English. As for the foreigners statement you cant tell me immigration has not put a strain/burden on the NHS, police (crime) housing and employment, i know there are lazy arsed Engish who sponge the system but its our fault we have allowed this country to go soft.......................but thats a topic in itself. I would let them stay, if they paid the council tax, income tax national insurance and got locked up if they broke the law, but as none of this applies to them we should just flatten the site and them with it if they wont move. Im sure your right in your assumption that some are directly descended from Irish but Ill think you'll likely find the vast majority are holders british nationality spanning back multiple generations of families. Even in the cases that aernt England born the arguement holds little water when you take into account Northern Ireland and Scotland are included in "the British Isles" so therefore their inhabitants have as much right as yourself to live in England, much as you have the right to live in theirs. My Relatives extend back to their Norwegian and Irish homelands respectively, doesnt make a blind difference though, wether you knowingly intended to or accidently adopted the opinion without to great thought, the arguement your lending your support to smacks of racism at the end of the day and generally has no bearing whatsoever on the Dale Farm topic. My point is this, just because they live in England does not make them English. If they are Scotish, Irish or Welsh or any other race then they are British not English. Its easy to say someone is racist, but it seems to me that if your English and try to put a point over that is patriotic to your country then you must be a racist. I dont know about the rest of the members, but were i live when we get travellers in the area crime goes up (metal thefts etc), they leave a mess, dont pay any taxes and are 9 times out of ten Irish and if that comment makes me a racist fine, but i bet im not alone in that thought.

have you still got the exhaust, what make is it and will it fit my MK5b XR3i

why are all the second hand exhaust either down south or in Scotland
